It was a fun little movie that was clearly made on a limited budget that leaves things to the audience to decide.

Plot summary
Jack (John Reynolds) and Su (Sunita Mani) are a hip Brooklyn couple who, like many of their friends, find themselves dependent on technology and unable to put down their phones. Fearing their mindless scrolling may impact their connection with each other, they seize the chance to head to an isolated cabin in the woods, vowing to unplug from the outside world for a week. Sheltered from texts and push notifications, they are blissfully unaware that the planet is under attack. As strange events unfold, the couple must figure out a way back to civilization-or what's left of it.

Decent
I want to make a loaf of bread and eat it.
Jack (John Reynolds ) and Su (Sunita Mani ) go to a cabin in the woods to disconnect from the world for a week. During this time the Earth is attacked by ethanol loving alien Furbies. We watch them try to figure out what is going on and survive a large ball of fur looking for a drink.
The characters started out pretentious and boring and stayed that way. Not really funny .
Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.
It was just too bland and mundane...
When I read the synopsis for the 2020 movie "Save Yourselves!" I must admit that I was somewhat excited to sit down to watch it. The movie's synopsis definitely made the movie sound like it could be a very interesting, if not fun, movie.
Well yeah, sounded like it...
"Save Yourselves!" turned out, however, to be a rather mundane and monotonous movie actually. Writers and directors Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson just didn't manage to bring the movie to fruition.
It felt like the movie was run on auto-pilot, just trotting onwards in a very monotonous pace, which left no room for any ups and downs along the storyline. And that, in turn, made for a less than mediocre movie experience.
The concept of the movie, though, definitely had some potential. Just a real shame that it wasn't utilized in a fulfilling manner. And I must admit that I liked the alien creatures, the Pouffes as they were named. The creature design was just so simplistic that it actually worked out well in favor of the movie.
"Save Yourselves!" did suffer from not having a lot of characters in the story, and it didn't really help much that the characters that were there, were just so bland and had the appeal of wet cardboard. Now, John Reynolds (playing Jack) and Sunita Mani (playing Su) were doing good enough jobs as performers, but they just literally had very little to work with in terms of script, dialogue and proper characters.
I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I was not really particularly entertained. And I can honestly say that "Save Yourselves!" is not a movie that I will be watching a second time.
My rating of "Save Yourselves!" settles on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
