'Until Dawn' review: How does this horror movie adaptation compare to the hit survival game?

Summary

Nutrition label

67% Informative

Until Dawn brings a time loop into a familiar story.

At first , the time loop seems a clever way to bring an element of the original gameplay into the theater.

But how it plays in the movie is not as a choice; it's just a choice.

The bigger issue is that the movie gives up on this device for no apparent reason.

Until Dawn 's ties to its source material are so sparse that it is less a bad movie adaption of a video game and more a generic, underwhelming horror flick.

Director David F. Sandberg , whose previously helmed Lights Out , Annabelle: Creation, and the Shazam movies, has a clear enthusiasm for gore .

The movie's heroes feel less flesh and blood, despite being live-action.
