Until Dawn wants to carve its own path, separate from its source material. Ironically, in trying to be different, it ends up feeling more clichéd than ever.

The film is far from original, but it successfully translates game logic to the big screen.

The film promises that every night will contain a new horror, but the lack of variety means they all feel as punishingly repetitive for the viewer as they are for the characters.

Until Dawn is a solid game adaptation. Although its story departs from the original narrative, the heart of the game is there, and fans will find plenty of its elements to enjoy.
