Until Dawn: La Mort sans fin

Until Dawn (2025) takes place in the same universe as the video game, and while it's not a direct adaptation, it has some fun little Easter eggs for fans. It follows Clover and her friends as they return to the remote valley where her sister disappeared a year earlier. They explore this creepy abandoned visitor centre and then a masked killer shows up and starts picking them off one by one. But after they die, they mysteriously wake up at the start of the same night again. There are some genuinely fun moments here. The kills are awesome, really creative and super violent. Big A+ on the gore. A lot of it is practical effects too, which I always love. Sure, there's some CGI, but the practical stuff looks amazing and makes the kills hit harder. There are even some funny moments sprinkled in, which I appreciated. Each night plays out a little differently with new killers and deaths, which was kind of fun to watch. Some nights are stronger than others. One of them dragged a lot, nothing really happened except for one important detail. It was definitely the weakest part of the movie, especially after it started so strong. Thankfully, the next night brought it back to life. There's a moment where a character looks through old videos on their phone from past days they don't remember. I wish they'd done more with it. Instead of just showing the videos one by one, it would've been way more effective as a fast paced montage. It could've really ramped up the tension and adrenaline. It just felt like they skipped over a bunch of really cool stuff we didn't get to see. The movie is loosely inspired by the game, and that's where some people might be disappointed. It has the wendigos, the masked killer (the psycho), and even the doctor, but it's not the same characters or story. I get why fans wanted a more faithful adaptation (I'd love a true Until Dawn movie too!), but for what it is, it wasn't bad at all. The ending hints at a sequel, showing a snowy cabin and a car pulling up. It looks like it's setting up the events before the game takes place. If you haven't played the game, I think you'll enjoy this even more. For me, it wasn't perfect, but it was still fun, and I'd watch it again.

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.

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.

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.
