I kind of got the impression (just from this video) that the aliens tried to put her in a happy memory, but since she was outcasted, the only happy memories she had were from before Maude died. But she was so overcome by grief that Brynn knew it was fake and so the illusion couldn't last.

When the aliens captured her and went through her memories, they were trying to find out why they couldn't keep Brynn under like the others. But by doing that, they allowed Brynn to come to terms and move on from her grief. So she became happier after the aliens arrived, and they realized that she was happier awake and content in an alien takeover than if they were defeated and life turned back to normal. The aliens understood she would never fight to regain something that made her so unhappy when she could live freely in this new reality.

The lack of actual dialogue, and pulling it off, is one of the aspects that elevates this movie for me. Accomplished plenty of exposition of Brynn's past, with very short flashbacks, without some ham fisted expository dialogue. That's refreshing.

i loved the ending. She was treated like an alien since she was like, 10 years old. And now, she’s finally treated like a human by aliens.

I wanna bring up the beginning where she’s vibing in her home (7:00 in the movie) and with the phone call that she picks up and immediately hangs up. With the subtitles on, you see that she’s getting vicious hate calls. And she’s been receiving those so much she knows that’s all her phone calls are. It was just a quick subtle detail that really adds to her isolation and I can’t stop thinking about it

[HettesKvek]

Small detail: The less aggressive "curious" alien at 12:16 is the same one on the right side of the screen at 18:03. Notice the V shaped marking on its forehead. I wonder if this alien was turned from a species that was exceptionally empathetic and inquisitive. The turned humans became dumber and more brutish, but this alien was somehow able to keep its inquisitive nature.

[RenegadeLK]

Did anyone else notice how the feral grey makes itself smaller and stares intently? Like a cat, stalking prey. Only moving once line of sight is broken, triggering its stalk and ambush instincts. Facing her head on, it sizes her up and attempts to look as small as possible, and then tries to
intimidate by pressing forward with flared claws and screams. It wants to attack her from behind, ensuring victory and its safety.

Can we all appreciate how great Kaitlyn Dever was in this movie?! She was absolutely amazing... there was no dialog, yet we knew exactly what she was thinking from her facial expressions. Just amazing!

[tyrannicaltyr]

I kinda thought the little bulbs with tentacles were the true aliens. The possessed humans and the aliens moved like they were disjointed and cracked constantly. It actually wasn’t just the humans that were possessed, the big spider alien moved all clumsy because it was no different than the mailman thrashing on the bus.
So the bulb shows the possessed what they want to see while they take control and she was a rarity because no matter what she saw, she couldn’t accept forgiveness to herself.
The possessed aliens in the ship realize they cannot take control of her and yet they did not fear her. They realized she can be this sort of keystone of all humanities culture. They still wanna learn the earth world, and that’s why they hum the song. Purely out of interest.
It’s kinda like Stephanie Meyer’s the Host but without love triangles, just the alien domination part.

My mom pointed out that in the hulu description of the movie, they say that Brynn is someone that has been “alienated” by the people in her town. So we were thinking that the aliens somehow sympathized with her and the alienation she felt from other humans. Maybe that’s why they let her have alien friends at the end?
Humans treat them bad just like her. Yet she exists amongst them. And they also probably wanted to study her because of her resilience and ability to kill multiple of them.

In the corrupted sea of AI recap videos, I truly adore your channel. Your human perspective and retelling of these films' stories are analytical and extremely considerate, even when there is harsher criticism. Which only shows the level of care you put into recording, editing and producing these videos. Thank you.

I think the aliens were a really great metaphor for Brynn's grief and guilt over what happened to Maude. It is slowly but surely invading her life, tearing it apart piece by piece (the home invasion part). She cant escape it wherever she goes (the bus scene). No one wants to help her deal with the issue (police station scene) because everyone hates her. Everytime she catches someone's glance, she can see it in their eyes or hear it from their throat, as in the countless ugly and terrible things the townfolk have no doubt said about her or to her (the bodysnatchers). These feelings have even gotten so bad that it has caused her to think about or actually attempt suicide (the doppleganger). Then, when she is finally "captured" and her memories catch up to her (the abduction scene) she is forced to confront what happened head on. In the end, she in some shape or form forgives herself (her touching her younger self's hand) and because of that she is able to partially move on. The grief and the guilt are still their (the ufos in the sky during the last scene) and some people will probably never forgive her (everyone is still bodysnatched), but she has forgiven herself enough to build herself a world where she can be happy. Although judging by how dreamy and blissful the last scene was, im guessing its a superficial happiness at best.

It looked like the aliens were trying to create a kind of blissful society via the aliens-in-throat hallucinations. However, Brynn refused to go under the influence (hence "no one will save you") and instead through the journey saves herself by going through the past events and realizing if given the chance she would have stopped her self. She also sees the grief in her writing those letters. The events allowed her to step outside herself and look at her journey (from childhood, to trauma, to grief). Brynn saves herself by understanding herself and forgiving herself and she can only do that by facing the events from the past with new/wiser eyes. Being that Brynn heals herself and is now more positive/vibrant, she didn't need to be overtaken by the aliens. Meanwhile, most of the townspeople didn't seem like happy people. Sure, Brynn did something horrible, but you have to be a pretty bitter person to feel you have to constantly "shun" or remind someone of the worst day of their life. So it seems like ironically they needed the alien cleanse more than Brynn herself.

[deathkingray]

My take on the ending of this movie is that "no one" did save her. No one being the aliens as they are...aliens. It is kind of a poetic movie as all throughout we see the main character struggling with guilt for murdering her best friend and the townspeople all shunned her for this. After seeing her memories through probing, the aliens decided that like them, she is an alien in her town and thus decided to save her.

Like others here Im curious as to what the aliens wanted in the first place. The infected humans still go about their day normally and interestingly enough, they interact with and almost coddle her. Dancing with and waving at her. I also noticed that the aliens she fought with didnt always outright "attack" her but struck a pose almost as a greeting or sitting down, waiting and doing nothing to show that they mean no harm, some even trying to talk to her directly with their croaking. It isnt until she runs away or hides they try to incapacitate her. Even though she killed multiple of them they only sought to infect her, not outright harm her. I dont think they wanted to kill anyone as when infected, the humans are in a dream like state filled with happiness, the parasite possibly dispelling what pains them the most fulfilling their desire. But when they tried to give her back maude, she rejected it. Even though she killed her and it pained her the most, she would rather live in the real world, with maude dead, so they let her go, not knowing what else to do with her. Great film, a very fun watch. Most alien movies hide their aliens in the dark and in their ships but this was a refreshing change. Takes skill to make an alien invasion movie where you dont see the aliens killing or experimenting on anyone into a thriller.

Kaitlin Denver was absolutely brilliant in this movie. When “Brynn” was stabbed I was holding my breath and struggling to breathe with her, she was that convincing.

Zero dialogue and amazing aliens, phenomenal sound and yet somehow Kaitlyns performance was the standout. Really enjoyed this movie.

[BoinkrNanis]

The fact that the movie had 2 sentences kf dialogue was perfection. The complete TRUST the director had in this is wild and im here for it. A 10 outta 10, a banger, an unexpected one at that

[marywinchester]

Saw this film not too long ago. It's safe to say that it's one of my favorite alien movies now. And the way they pulled off having zero dialogue was brilliant. I wish more films could do that. The ending is a little vague, but it was a fun and simple thriller. I would actually like to own this movie.

[vigilance]

The aliens wanted to explore "guilt" and "regret". They presented to her Brynn with the scene of what she did and this time she yelled to stop her younger self. Proving she really did regret and felt genuine guilt. This was intriguing to the aliens.

[ninalove]

Did anyone else think that when she “woke up from the dream” that it was going to end there on some b.s? I actually really appreciated the true ending of this film, I’m happy for her!

[RealSwiggs]

Not that it’s a super important detail of the movie, but I found the “hierarchy” of the aliens interesting. They’re not all just humanoid creatures. There was the smaller one that is maybe used specifically for close quarters combat, the large one, which came across as more animalistic, and the medium sized ones which definitely are on top the food chain in that society. They got the better of Brynn everytime except the beginning when she got lucky she was holding that sharp object the way she was
