Review – No One Gets Out Alive

This gets off to a slow start. Actually the very beginning is a fun sequence of simulated Super 8 chillingly reminiscent of the opening to The Exorcist. But when the main story kicks in, it’s the slow, sad story of a woman who journeys from Mexico to Cleveland only to find herself victimized by people who prey on undocumented workers: a sweatshop owner, a con artist and the landlord of a run-down boarding house. It’s the latter of the three who proves to be her biggest worry, as the house conceals dark secrets. The supernatural entity, when it finally appears, turns out to be genuinely innovative, well worth the wait. Worth seeing
