Until Dawn: Noite de Terror

Until Dawn is loosely based on a 2015 survival video game. I say loosely as it doesn't follow the game at all.

The mixing of various horror sub-genres from slasher to ghost story to zombies to witchcraft, is an exciting attempt of keeping the audience glued to their seats for the next unexpected way to die for our fateful five protagonists.

The movie Cabin in the Woods come to mind as it resembles it somewhat with all the events monitored by an overlord.

This movie has three to four good jump scares and is not for the faint of heart for sure. Its basically ""Groundhog day"" with a bucket load of blood and gore!

Overall, a bloody good time if you prefer to turn your brains off. However Spontaneous Combustion had me rolling with laughter.

I don't see why a lot of people are hating on this. It was a new take on the beloved video game. One thing I didn't like tho was I didn't really care for the characters at all. Most did a good job acting. Max was just terrible and his one liners made me cringe almost every time. Nina was actually pretty good giving the most main character energy. With that being said, Clover was kinda mid and forgettable for being the main main character. BUT. With how the deaths were orchestrated and conducted, really made this movie super good! I actually liked that they changed it up from the video game, because I played the game like 4 times. So here's my conclusion. If you're looking for a carbon copy of the game, then this movie isn't for you . If you loved the game and ready for a movie with new twists based on the game. Then go grab your tickets and popcorn!

As someone who has played and loved Until Dawn I was so excited for this movie to release.

Unfortunately I was incredibly disappointed. If this was an original horror movie I would've liked it more than I did.

The film had some good scary moments, decent cast, setting, gore and character design. The kills were inventive and looked good. But this was NOT enough to save this movie.

This was not Until Dawn. This was a poor effort in putting some elements from the game into a messy incoherent movie. The plot was not intriguing and it had little to no mystery/lore that the game so perfectly created. In summary it was a combination of random "scary" things that added very little to the overall experience.

The movie had the makings of an interesting story. But by the finale, nothing was really explained and it ended underwhelmingly.

I would've preferred a carbon copy of the game. I appreciate the effort to try something but when the game had very little to fault I don't understand why so much was changed. At least keep the snowy setting.

Disappointed.

Based on the popular video game by Supermassive Games, this movie adaptation focuses on a group of university students dying and come back to life again and again on the same night. David F. Sandberg returns to horror with a film that blends classic slasher tropes with video games formula, delivering a story that focuses more on jump scares and fast pacing than building complex atmospheres. Essentially, the film works like a cinematic haunted house: archetypal characters, well-timed scares and graphic deaths, all wrapped up in a structure that plays with a time-loop narrative. Although the script offers a promising premise, it doesn't fully realise its dramatic or thematic potential. Nevertheless, the film remains entertaining thanks to Sandberg's efficient direction, which ensures that the time-loop mechanics don't become monotonous and contains some visually inspired moments. Without reinventing the genre, Until Dawn offers an entertaining experience for viewers who want to be creeped out, or for anyone who just wants to enjoy a perfect laid-back, popcorn-filled evening.

Until Dawn is the latest video game adaption over the hit horror choose your own adventure. Unlike most adaptions, this does its own thing for the most part adding only certain elements and characters from the game into the story. Which will either anger fans of the games or make you interested to see what they do different. I like it doing its own thing. So this Until Dawn follows 5 kids as they get trapped in a death loop while searching for a missing person. The kids are fine although I felt one character gets unrighteously villainized even though they made the most sense. I do like the aspects of togetherness in the kid group as it didn't make any of the kids annoying even though I didn't buy any of their chemistry as friends. The kills are done mostly well. There is a montage section that felt like it would have been better exploring than speeding through it. There is also the stereotypical dumb decisions made by character because they are in a horror movie. I also didn't like their explanation of adding certain creatures from the game and felt a little too fan service. All of that being said, I still had a decent time watching this.
