Until Dawn Movie Production Just Wrapped—What’s Next

The film adaptation of the popular horror game Until Dawn has officially wrapped filming, as announced by director David F. Sandberg. The film faced production updates since its announcement in January, and while no specific release date has been provided yet, the production is reportedly moving quickly. The project features several cast members reprising their roles from the game, including Peter Starmore, who played a memorable psychiatrist. Until Dawn, a notable choose-your-own-adventure horror game, was originally released for PlayStation 4 in 2015 and involved player decisions that impacted the survival of characters throughout the story. With the recent success of remaking the game for PS5 and PC, interest in the franchise is being revitalized.

While it's uncertain how closely the film will adhere to the original game's narrative, it is possible that it may incorporate new elements introduced in the remake or take a different direction given the fixed storytelling format of film. Fans of the game can expect adaptations of the familiar horror elements that made the game successful.

Until Dawn, developed by Supermassive Games, quickly gained a cult classic status due to its gripping story, dynamic character choices, and cinematic presentation. It centers around a group of teens who must survive a night filled with terror, where the outcome is heavily influenced by player choices. The game paved the way for similar narrative-driven horror titles, with Supermassive shifting focus to projects like the Dark Pictures Anthology and the recent The Quarry, demonstrating the lasting impact of Until Dawn in the horror gaming genre.
