Director- David F. Sandberg
Release Date- April 25, 2025
So they’re obviously going in a different direction for adapting the Until Dawn game. It’s good to see they’re trying to keep some continuity from the game going with Peter Stormare, but everything else looks completely different. I’m kind of bummed out about the story not taking place during wintertime. The dark and cold snowy atmosphere added a lot to the game, amping up the tension and the overall eerie mood for everything.
I played Until Dawn once. Really enjoyed it, and it’s easily one of my favorite survival horror games. This trailer? Yeah, unless you know about, or if you’re fan of the game, Until Dawn looks like an ordinary horror flick, featuring a lot of the usual cliches.
Adapting a video game or a book is a tricky task. If you go step by step, while indulging in fan service too much and trying to stay faithful to the original material, the final product might be too predictable and lazy, depending on how it’s done. They’re taking a chance on exploring the mythology, and hopefully it pays off in the end.
I also trust David F. Sandberg, because he did a good job with Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation. There’s some humor towards the end of the trailer, and the time loop/Groundhog Day approach has some potential for a lot of different possibilities. Also, is there a chance they’ll go with a found-footage POV for certain scenes?
