Verdict on Until Dawn

Recap

I’m part of a group of five friends, and we’re on a mission to discover what happened to one of ours who went missing. We stumble upon a place steeped in history, and our task is to unearth the truth before we exhaust our precious time.

Best Parts

This video game is modeled after a chilling horror-slasher story. It skillfully portrays lighting effects and creatures lurking in darkness. There’s an intricate concept where they perish only to resurrect again, confronting new dangers. The third comeback, surprisingly, provides some humor that alleviates the more nerve-wracking encounters of the past.

Worst Parts

If you thought this was going to be a standard version of the video game, you might find it different. Instead, it’s an innovative concept that shares some similarities with the game. The twist is that some people may have been anticipating something else. Additionally, one character appears to face more challenges than others, which could spark a conversation about fair representation in media.

Final ThoughtsUntil Dawn is an entertaining, brutal and bloody movie.
