AS IT JUMPS FROM GAMING CONSOLES TO THE BIG SCREEN, ELLA WALKER FINDS OUT MORE ABOUT SUPERNATURAL SLASHER UNTIL DAWN FROM THE FILM'S DIRECTOR AND CAST
-
IF YOU ever have that classic nightmare, where you wake up but then realise with creeping dread that you're still in the dream, and it's getting worse, Until Dawn will either make you feel very seen, or very terrified.
The new horror from Swedish film-maker David F. Sandberg, of Shazam!, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Lights Out fame, is based on the PlayStation Studios video game of the same name, and sees a group of friends scared witless, stuck in a monstrous time loop.
A year on from the disturbing disappearance of her sister Melanie (Maia Mitchell), Clover, played by Ella Rubin, goes looking for her.
Taking a gang of mates along for the ride, they suss out an isolated valley where Melanie went missing after sending Clover a final video message.
When they come across a deserted visitor centre, they start getting picked off by a masked murderer, but then they wake up, and the cycle of death continues for another night...
The only way out? To make it to sun-up without dying - but they only have so many chances.
“It's more intriguing than having the characters die and come back repeatedly,” says David, 44.
“We had to make it more challenging for them. We really put them through hell and got creative with ways of killing them.”
Not only that, the consequences they face “multiply” and they also come back each time more weakened, as they slowly morph into the horrors that are chasing them down every night.
“They have only a limited time to extricate themselves by finding a way to work together, before they die for real,” says director David.
Essentially, it has Edge Of Tomorrow and Groundhog Day vibes, just with a lot more blood and gore.
