No One Gets Out Alive: Release Date, Cast And More

(Welcome to ...And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)

The leaves are changing and cold weather is almost upon us, which means its officially the spookiest season of the year. While the rest of us celebrate with bowls of candy and pumpkin pie, Netflix is cracking out all their scariest titles. So it's time to put the kids to bed and grab a blanket ... y'know, to hide behind. "No One Gets Out Alive" is part of the upcoming horror fest and we've put together everything you need to prepare for this scare.

A Netflix original, "No One Gets Out Alive" premieres on the streamer later this month on September 29, 2021. The film is based on the award-winning 2014 novel written by Adam Nevil. In the spirit of the Halloween season, the movie arrives alongside a huge collection of Netflix original movies and films that delve into the spooky and supernatural.

Adam Nevill's novel of the same name told the chilling tale of a temp who moves into a cheap apartment only to discover a terrifying secret about her new home. It's your classic haunted house tale — starting with odd noises and the sneaking suspicion that something is amiss. By the end, she's wrapped up in the malevolence of a spirit that grows more hostile with each passing night. The film renames the character Ambar and twists her origin story to focus in on the devastating truth beneath the American Dream.

Here's the official synopsis for "No One Gets Out Alive":

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?

Cristina Rodlo stars as Ambar, a young woman who arrives to America from Mexico. Rodlo previously appeared in the 2019 Gina Rodriguez film "Miss Bala" and the second season of the AMC horror anthology, "The Terror." Marc Menchaca ("Ozark) stars as Red, who she rents the cheap room from. The cast also includes Victoria Alcock, David Barrera, David Figlioli, Joana Borja, Mitchell Mullen, and Alejandro Akara.

Director Santiago Menghini was tapped by production company The Imaginarium to make his feature debut with "No One Gets Out Alive." Menghini previously said that he took inspiration from the Netflix horror series "The Haunting of Hill House" while developing the film. The script was penned by Jon Croker ("Desert Dancer," "American Animals") and Fernanda Coppel ("Queen of the South"). The Imaginarium previously produced the 2017 British horror, "The Ritual" (also based on a novel by Adam Nevill) and reunites members of the films creative team for "No One Gets Out Alive."

"The Ritual" director David Bruckner and producer Jonathan Cavendish, join Will Tennant, Andy Serkis, Philip Robertson, Nevill, and Croker in producing this film.
