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 night 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.

Critics Consensus

Until Dawn has a novel premise by rewinding the clock repeatedly to deliver multiple horror movies in one, but a lack of inspiration in each new variation yields a spoil of diminishing returns rather than riches.

Harry Stainer

Empire Magazine

Until Dawn wants to carve its own path, separate from its source material. Ironically, in trying to be different, it ends up feeling more clichéd than ever.

Rated: 2/5

Ross McIndoe

Slant Magazine

The film is far from original, but it successfully translates game logic to the big screen.

Rated: 2.5/4

Esther Rosenfield

Little White Lies

The film promises that every night will contain a new horror, but the lack of variety means they all feel as punishingly repetitive for the viewer as they are for the characters.

Rated: 1/5

Jonathon Wilson

Ready Steady Cut

But in terms of live-action video game adaptations, which are almost always terrible, Until Dawn stands out as a fun little curio that tried to forge its own path – and almost succeeded.

Rated: 4/5

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

This gorefest has a few good touches here and there, but it ultimately succumbs to a poor sense of rhythm—and to the nagging feeling that none of this really makes very much sense.

Rated: 2/5

Enjoy a couple of decent jump scares, then cringe at the (dull and indecisive) narrative... (although) the production design looks ready-made for Halloween Horror Nights...

Rated: 2/4

I was so annoyed sitting in the theater wanting it to end. I’ve never played the video game so I’m not familiar with this world but this didn’t need a theatrical release. Or maybe no release at all?

betsy

if they create their own movie without using the game just to be a gimmick. to catch people watching the movie so we assumed it'll be based of the game when it's not.
