No One Gets Out Alive (2021) is a psychological horror film directed by Santiago Menghini and based on the novel by Adam Nevill. Released on Netflix, it blends haunted house tropes with themes of immigration, poverty, and exploitation, offering a grim and socially conscious take on the genre.

The story centers on Ambar (Cristina Rodlo), an undocumented Mexican immigrant who moves into a run-down boarding house in Cleveland after the death of her mother. Struggling to survive and find legal work, she rents a room in a decrepit building owned by the ominous Red (Marc Menchaca). Strange noises, ghostly visions, and a sense of dread intensify as she begins to suspect the house—and its owners—harbor a sinister secret.

No One Gets Out Alive is a bleak, moody horror film that uses supernatural scares as a metaphor for the immigrant experience. It’s not for viewers looking for fast-paced horror or clear explanations, but it rewards those who appreciate atmospheric dread and allegorical depth.
