The movie is set to come out in April, and a new trailer has been dropped:

Here’s the official description:

“One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again – only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.”

The original Until Dawn came from Supermassive Games and released for the PlayStation 4. The game was an interactive horror story with each decision leading to massive consequences with the butterfly effect system. Based on how the game was written, either everyone could die, or everyone could survive.

For context, here’s a look at the remastered game:

The interesting twist with the adaptation is that they’ve managed to add a Groundhog Day narrative in which the night would repeat itself—sticking to the game’s element where people can learn from past mistakes and use that to survive each night. One twist though, is that the monsters also change, and everyone has to find out how to best each creature while knowing what they do about the environment.

I’ll admit, it’s a great twist to the formula, and it should be an interesting watch for first-timers and Until Dawn fans. With Sandberg being stuck doing Shazam! the last couple of years, I’m just happy to see him back in his element.

Watch out for Until Dawn when it comes to cinemas on April 25.
