Generic horror not worth a night's stay

Director hindered by basic premise

- 

Let me preface this review by saying I have never played the Until Dawn video game - and know nothing about it.

As a result, I am the wrong person to say if this is an accurate adaptation, and can only judge it as a movie on its own merits.

Doing so, Until Dawn comes across as an amalgamation of Happy Death Day, Silent Hill and Cabin in the Woods - but can't match any of them for quality.

We follow a group of friends who end up trapped in a time loop, where mysterious forces chase and kill them in gruesome ways, and they must survive until dawn to escape it.
