Netflix has released a poster and trailer for director Santiago Menghini’s upcoming horror No One Gets Out Alive. Based on Adam Nevill’s 2014 novel of the same name, the film follows immigrant Ambar (Cristina Rodlo) on her search of the American Dream until she finds herself trapped in a living nightmare when she’s forced to take a room in a near derelict boarding house.
Ambar (Cristina Rodlo) is embarking on her American Dream after years spent dutifully tending to her terminally ill mother in Mexico. She arrives in Cleveland illegally, with very little money and unsuitable clothing for what’s expected to be the coldest winter on record. After finding cash-in-hand work at a local garment factory, she rents the cheapest room available from Red (Marc Menchaca) in a near derelict boarding house. Kept awake by the other tenants’ sobbing, disturbing nightmares and strange unearthly noises echoing from the basement, Ambar begins to wonder exactly who – or what – lives inside the house with them. Soon it becomes clear that Ambar has walked into a trap, one where she will soon be introduced to the evil that has been lurking in the basement. Ambar must fight to escape her living nightmare, but in a house where no one listens to the screams, will she ever get out alive?
No One Gets Out Alive arrives on Netflix on September 29th.
