Nadie saldrá vivo de aquí

No One Gets Out Alive: A ramshackle old home, turned into a boarding house is one of the main stars of this film. It's corridors and dark rooms contain creaks, cries and noises, suggestions that something strange is going on. We know from the prologue that the residence is connected to an archaeological expedition to Meso-America and artifacts from the mission are stored there. Ambar (Cristina Rodlo) is an immigrant, hiding her illegal status, exploited in a sweatshop, trying to buy papers. She moves into the boarding house and encounters ghosts. A tale of terror, exploitation and human sacrifice. Some good ghostly apparitions together with poltergeist effects. This is also a story of a struggle for survival in the physical and spiritual senses, both inside and without the house. Very much influenced by Meso-American mythology. Directed by Santiago Menghini, screenplay by Jon Croker and Fernanda Coppel, based on the 2014 novel by Adam Nevill. On Netflix. 7/10.

Well, reviews are personal to all and that's why some give 1 and others 10. I thought the acting was very good especially Marc Menchaca and Cristina Rodlo. The girl Ambar, had arrived in the US w/o papers, docs or id so she WAS an illegal who wanted an opportunity to better herself. At times I felt so sorry for the girl - she was very naive and trusting, it was obvious really what the African was going to do. That rarity, NO CGI and the 'creature' seemed to be like an autotronic but I'm not sure of that. The house was just horrendously in a world apart- just like Norman Bates house was in Psycho. Certainly worth your time to see.

I'm quite drunk but that was actually enjoyable. I thought going into it, it would be a boring none scary Netflix horror. However I was completely wrong. It was very ere all the time and was actually scary, you can't knock it. The story might've been a bit hard to follow hence why it gets a 6 and nothing higher. But a 6 is a lot higher then I thought I'd be giving this at the start. This has nothing to do with the film but the main character was so sexy it's ridiculous. All in all though genuinely not a bad horror and decent horrors are really hard to come by nowadays. Might I add also, Netflix films have improved so much. You get so much better Netflix films now then when you did at the start, I'm really enjoying them.

Competent thriller/horror with folk horror overtones. Not groundbreaking in any way but nevertheless some very unique and interesting ideas. Great acting and sensational cinematography. The narrative kept the origins of the box murky which added to the mystery and suspense. The "house" was wonderfully imagined and contributed to the ambiance. A few traditional jump scares but they didn't detract from the film. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very slow start, but the pay off in the end is worth it.

Good acting, good writing, good direction and sets overall. The soundtrack was good too.

Overall worth the watch.
