Book adaptations can be unpredictable, but video game adaptations often strike a chord with fans, especially when done well. This brings us to the live-action spin-off of the 2015 video game, Until Dawn, which is being directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation) and written by Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman.
With its blend of horror and choice-driven gameplay, the original game has a dedicated following, making this adaptation highly anticipated. As the release date draws near, we’re treated to a thrilling first look at the survival horror movie, and it appears to live up to – if not surpass – the video game’s eerie excellence.
