In the world of horror movies, the premise of blindly following rules set by a character in order to survive is not a new concept. Films like “A Quiet Place” and “Bird Box” have explored this theme with A-list actresses like Emily Blunt and Sandra Bullock. Now, Halle Berry takes on this trope in the upcoming horror movie “Never Let Go.”
“Never Let Go” follows the story of a mother, played by Halle Berry, who has survived an apocalypse with her two sons. The key rule that Berry’s character emphasizes is for her children to always hold onto a rope connecting them to their home in order to stay safe from the lurking evil in the world. However, when one of the boys questions the existence of this evil after being separated from the rope, it sets off a chain of events that puts the family in grave danger.
The film delves into the dangers of blindly following rules without questioning their validity. As the boys start to doubt their mother’s instructions, the family dynamic shifts, leading to internal conflict and vulnerability to the evil forces around them. This blind obedience ultimately proves to be their downfall, as the evil spirits begin to tear the family apart despite their best efforts to stay safe.
Directed by Alexandre Aja and written by Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby, “Never Let Go” aims to captivate audiences with its intense storyline and gripping visuals. The tension created by the characters’ struggle between obedience and skepticism adds an extra layer of depth to the horror genre.
“Never Let Go” serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of blind obedience, even in the face of apparent threats. By questioning the rules set by authority figures and thinking critically about the information presented, individuals can avoid falling victim to manipulation and deception. As the movie hits theaters on September 27, viewers will be left pondering the consequences of following blindly without considering the implications.
