Horror movie adaptation of horror movie-style horror game Until Dawn goes the time-loop route, so it

Published on January 01, 0001

It began as an excellent interactive horror movie for PlayStation in 2015, then made it to PC as a last year, and now its evolution (or perhaps devolution) is nearly complete. Supermassive's chilling horror adventure Until Dawn is getting the movie [[link]] treatment in 2025, and the first trailer has arrived.

Does it look as good as the original game, or at least better than the semi-wobbly PC remake? You be the judge:

Though it looks like it diverges pretty far from the source material, the movie does at least have some recognizable elements. A group of young adults? Check. A spooky environment? Check. A lotta nasty ways to die? Double-check.

As a way of introducing a game-like system to the movie as a nod to its roots (or maybe just so the filmmakers can brutally kill its characters more than once), Until Dawn is a time-loop film, like Groundhog Day but with jumpscares. While searching for her missing sister, Clover (played by Ella Rubin) and her friends wind up in a mysterious cabin where they're hunted by horrors. Death provides no escape because once they're dead, the clock resets and they get murder-killed again, but in different ways. Their only hope is to survive through the entire night—until dawn—before 13 nights have elapsed.

The trailer looks like a pretty generic slasher. If I didn't know it was based on a game, a movie trailer where a bunch of twenty-somethings get horribly murdered by a dude in a clown mask in a B&B wouldn't put it on my Must Watch list (though Peter Stormare as a shifty shopkeeper is an automatic win). Is the reveal each night of some new monster going to be scary after the first couple nights? I sorta doubt it. My main hope is that it's not just gory but funny, too: I honestly laughed at the response to "Is it gone?" at the end of the trailer. "Yeah, it's gone." I mean, what the hell else are you gonna say?

Until Dawn will show "exclusively in movie theaters," though Sony Pictures hasn't put a date on it yet.
