First Trailer: The “Until Dawn” Movie

The first trailer has arrived for filmmaker David F. Sandberg’s horror feature adaptation of the acclaimed 2015 PlayStation game “Until Dawn”.

The trailer follows on from the one-minute long featurette that arrived on Monday which gave us a first look at how they intended to adapt the game – offering a new story set in the same world rather than an actual adaptation. The result from the fanbase has been decidedly mixed.

The story begins one year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers.

Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening.

Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again – only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.

The original game interactive drama was set around a snowy cabin and had hundreds of potential storyline permutations. This explores that alternate storyline idea by sticking the characters in a time loop.

Sandberg directs from a script by Gary Dauberman (“Salem’s Lot,” “IT”). Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Maia Mitchell, Belmont Cameli, Ji-young Yoo and Odessa A’zion lead the cast while Peter Stormare reprises his role from the game.

“Until Dawn” will open in cinemas April 25th.
