Why it’s HorroRated

Until Dawn is a video game adaptation that understood its source material's mechanics well enough to make a film that uses choice and consequence as narrative structure rather than just decoration. David F. Sandberg directs with competence and the mountain facility setting is used with real spatial intelligence. A genre film that respects its origins.

Synopsis

David F. Sandberg directs a horror film that respects the source game's internal logic while creating something that functions independently. The mountain facility setting is used with real spatial intelligence. A video game adaptation that takes the source material seriously.
