Until Dawn Trailer Reveals Time-Hopping Horror Movie Filled With Terrifying Monsters & Killers From Conjuring Universe Creative Team

The latest trailer has been released for Until Dawn. Until Dawn was originally a Sony-produced horror video game that was released in 2015. It introduced choice as a key element of its story, as players are allowed to select options that will lead to different results for the characters, including various death sequences. Now, the game is being adapted into a feature-length horror film by director David F. Sandberg. The Until Dawn movie features a leading cast including Ella Rubin, Odessa A’zion, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Peter Stormare, and Maia Mitchell.

Now, Sony Pictures Entertainment has released the latest trailer for Until Dawn. The trailer opens dramatically, with a character’s bloody hand crawling against the ground before a knife-wielding ᴀssailant descends their weapon onto her. An image of a sand timer is then seen, dialing back in time as the trailer shifts between images of gears and glimpses at a derelict house. Narration reveals that there is “a place stuck in time as increasingly gory images are seen and the words “stuck in time” are repeated, again and again.

What This Means For The Until Dawn Movie

The Trailer Features Game Easter Eggs

This is not the first Until Dawn trailer to showcase how the film will adapt the game’s mechanic of choice. The previous trailer helped establish that the movie will see its main characters die multiple times after being given new chances when they fail to make it “until dawn.” This latest trailer further emphasizes how the video game adaptation film will play with time. It shows time moving in reverse, with scenes being wound back and characters running backwards, as well as dialogue being repeated.

The trailer also showcases how the film will pay homage to the video game itself. The evil and monstrous Wendigo from the game was seen in the original trailer, but an even closer look is granted in this newest one. The trailer also features creepy clown imagery, including a ragdoll, which is reminiscent of the 2016 spinoff game Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.

Our Take On The Latest Until Dawn Trailer

Until Dawn Will Make An Effort To Appeal To Game Fans

These Until Dawn game Easter eggs will keep the video game adaptation film appealing to the original franchise fans. The movie is in a tough position, as it has to adapt a game that is not only well-liked, but that uses player engagement as a critical storytelling device. Audience members may not get to choose their own adventure in the theaters, but from what has been released so far, the team behind the Until Dawn movie is making an active effort to make the film’s play with time and time loops engaging and interesting.
