Now, Corridor Crew takes a look at some No One Will Save You pre-visualizations that change the look of the movie. The group examines the large, spider-like alien. In pre-vis, the alien had a much more comedic look as he opened his mouth and collapsed on the ground during a fall. Check it out below:

The Corridor Crew goes through how this No One Will Save You villain transformed from its early stages to a much more refined final product, which proved to be far more terrifying.

Why This No One Will Save You Alien Is One of the Best Moments In The Movie

No One Will Save You stands as a one-on-one, human vs. monster battle between Brynn and an alien who enters her house. After Brynn slays this alien, she discovers that the being has managed to attract its ship post-mortem, unleashing countless other aliens throughout the film. In an exhilarating moment, Brynn has to face one known as Daddy-Long-Legs, who emerges as the most domineering figure that she has faced yet.

As it stands, the Daddy-Long-Legs alien is one of the more visually impressive. In the pre-visualizations, he is much more cartoonish in appearance. This reading on the character could have risked the scene being played for comedic relief, rather than the dread that it is. As a movie that focuses strictly on one protagonist in her insular fight against aliens and her dark past, the sense of imminent terror is paramount, thus making the shift to No One Will Save You’s more intense post-visualization a vital change.

The No One Will Save You video serves as a testament to the kind of care that was put into evoking these emotions. While it exists in the horror genre, No One Will Save You is a highly emotional movie that relies on audiences connecting to Brynn and feeling for her. Making the alien out into this sinister, threatening being is essential to this alignment with the main character, and it is a goal that No One Will Save You achieved well through its evolution from its pre-vis.
