User Review

On October 4, 2024, a remake of the 2015 game of the same name was released, which I played this year. I went to see the film with memories of the game: the plot, characters, details, and endings.

Although Until Dawn is an adaptation of the game, the plot has been changed.

The plot tells the story of how five friends find themselves in a time loop, in which they experience their deaths over and over again. In order to get out of it, they must survive until dawn.

The film can be enjoyed not only by those who have played the game, but also by those who are unfamiliar with it.

In this film, the atmosphere of the game is superimposed on a new story, which is evident in the large number of references to the original project:

- Dr. Hill is the only character in the film from the original game

- Wendigos, their behavior, and interaction with them

- The image of a maniac

- Characters use flashlights on their phones/lanterns to light their way

- The hourglass depicted on the game cover

- Joshua Washington's file and his portrait in it

- The cottage in the snowy forest on the monitor

- Radio communication – in the game with the park ranger, in the film with Dr. Hill

- You can only survive if “Until Dawn”

Differences between the movie and the game:

- Plot

- Characters and their number – there are 5 characters in the movie and 8 playable characters in the game

- Idea – the game is based on variability / number of endings / the relationship between actions and their consequences / interaction with the player, while the movie is based on the concept of a time loop

- Setting – the game takes place on a mountain, while the film takes place in an abandoned area

The plot of the film is dynamic, consistent, and intense. The introduction of the characters quickly transitions into the main action without unnecessary dialogue or explanations.

The cast is harmoniously selected and fully accomplishes its tasks. Each actor manages to fully convey the image and character of their character on the big screen.

The music and sound effects in the film fully cope with their tasks - they serve as the key to creating a tense atmosphere and tune the viewer to a similar emotional state, whether it is the moment of the approach/appearance of the Wendigo or the episode of the characters' death.

Throughout the film, special and visual effects are used skillfully and competently, adding to the atmosphere of the picture: from scenes of murder and persecution to the depiction of the locations.

The episodes of murder/death of characters look spectacular and vivid, but their number is disappointing - there are not enough of them. Until Dawn has vast potential for spectacular and bloody murders due to its diverse plot, ideas, characters, and locations.

The presence of unexpected moments in the film brings variety and dynamism to the narrative.

Until Dawn is a standalone horror film with numerous references to the original project of the same name.
