The following story contains several spoilers for the Hulu film No One Can Save You. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, watch it immediately. It’s amazing. To the rest of you, enjoy the article.
During the spooky Halloween season, audiences’ appetite for best horror films ever madeand even try their luck on their streaming service of choice to find new scary movies in October. Those who have Subscribe to Hulu could give it to Brian Duffield No one will save you viewing based on either positive rumors or 4.5 star review our own Eric Eisenberg gave it. Duffield’s film brings real tension and fear to the home invasion story, but TikTok users are also helping the film go viral thanks to its pairing with Madonna’s 1990 hit. Fashion…and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Brian Duffield was a guest at the official CinemaBlend event. ReelBlend Podcastand delved deep into spoilers for his film. While talking with his co-hosts about the aliens in his film and how they communicate, he eventually got around to the demonstrative physical sign language one of his creatures uses. And he told us that you can now find them on TikTok, as his leading actress told him. Duffield said:
We call big daddy Longlegs. He’s more physical with his hands. He doesn’t say much, but his hands… we thought, “This must be very religious and cult-like.” You see some possessed people, they have sort of Sunday morning praise and worship hands (laughs). The original idea was that (actors) were doing it too, but it was too much of a fad when it came to people. Last night, Kaitlyn Dever sent me a TikTok of people who ranked Vogue over Daddy Long Legs rocking in the backyard. It was cool.
And now that you’ve heard about it, you definitely need to see it because it’s hysterical:

It’s a very jarring scene at this point. We don’t yet know what the aliens who have come to Kaitlyn Dever’s town are capable of, so when Daddy Long Legs starts posing like that, it’s both unnerving and intriguing. This is a threat? Means of communication? Some of this is discussed in ending of the film, but it’s just another tool Duffield uses to keep his audience off balance. And it really works.
Listen to our full interview with Brian Duffield right here:
Well-known horror icon Stephen King advised you to watch No One Can Save You, as did numerous critics who saw the film. There is a possibility that the film could get a sequel, although I personally think it works very well as a standalone film that doesn’t necessarily need to be the launch pad for a franchise. Some stories reach their natural conclusion, and this one (for me) did just that. Be sure to watch No One Will Save You now that it’s streaming on Hulu.
