Entertainment Blog #323 | Until Dawn [2025] : Welcome to Glore Valley...
You know what "Battle Royale" means? It's not like a battle in a royal way. It's like an unknown party has set the rules for the game, and a group of people are forced to play for survival. It will be like killing each other for survival or surviving together. There can be limiting factors such as time, space. Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and The Escape Room are some of them. And there's a new addition for the list.
"Until Dawn" is a #survival #horror movie which was recently released in digital format. Just like most of the Battle Royale movies, it is also based on a video game of the same name. Quite fresh faces can be seen in the movie and it's quite normal for this kind of horror movie. Despite the average ratings and critics, it has gathered 50+$ million at the box office against 15$ million budget, which is impressive.
The story starts with this group of friends, Clover, Max, Nina, Megan, and Abe, who are on the road searching for Clover's missing sister, Melanie. The only lead they had is a video sent by Melanie, and they were somehow was able to track down and find the location it had been sent to Clover.
Actually, it's been a year since this video, and Clover waited for her, but since there was nothing from her ever since, she thought of following the only lead she had, and it led to this old gas station named Hartley's.
Clover went to the gas station just to buy some refreshments, and there was this creepy cashier, and he asked him whether he had seen Clover. And he said about this area, "Glore Valley," where it is said the people have gone missing.
So, as expected, all started the journey to go to Glore Valley. On the way, they were in the middle of a storm-like situation,, but suddenly it vanished as they reached an old building named " Welcome Center". And the surroundings of this building are not affected by the bad weather.
The gang decided to go inside to find out what's going on from possibly who might be inside. But they found no one but apparently an empty logbook, a bunch of missing person notes without any details, but the photo and an hourglass that suddenly turned upside down after sunset.
Horrific things are about to happen, but these youngsters don't have a clue. But surely they are about to be pros in here. So will they understand and win the game of life? Will they find Clover? It's up to you to find out.
