A year after her sister Melanie's mysterious disappearance, Clover and her friends head to the remote valley where she disappeared in search of answers. While exploring an abandoned visitor center, they are stalked by a masked killer and gruesomely murdered one by one... until they wake up and return early that same night. Trapped in the valley, they are forced to relive the night over and over again, but with a different murderous threat, each more terrifying than the last. With less and less hope, the group realizes that they have a limited number of deaths and that the only way to escape is to survive until dawn...

"Until Dawn"
Directed by: David F. Sandberg
Written by: Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler (Based on the PlayStation Studios video game) Cast: Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Maia Mitchell and Peter Stormare
At the end of the road, there is a house... frozen in time.
The only salvation? Survive until dawn. ⌛
A thrill ride and love letter to the horror genre, "Until Dawn" is from director-
producer David F. Sandberg and producer-writer Gary Dauberman (who co-scripted with Blair Butler), both of whom have impeccable genre credentials, having, separately or together, been responsible for Annabelle: "Creation", "Lights Out", and "The Nun".
Their love for all things horror is fully realized in "Until Dawn". Within the film’s time loop framework, where each night sees the characters trapped in what feels like a different horror film, the filmmakers have crafted a terrifying mix of different genre styles, creating a unique experience for movie audiences.
The time loop structure also offers an unpredictable, propulsive, and supernatural mystery, which the characters must unravel to make it through – and avoid becoming – part of the night. They must continually reconsider their choices and explore different paths, while coming to understand a shocking paradox in which they can only survive by dying first.
“Every night, the story resets, taking us into a new horror genre,” Sandberg elaborates. “As a lifelong horror fan, it was a dream come true to work in all these subgenres. Every night the characters undergo what feels like a new chapter in a different story. Before learning of "Until Dawn", I’d been thinking about what a perfect project would be,” he continues. “Would it be a slasher movie, or a supernatural story, or maybe a creature feature? "Until Dawn" has it all; it’s several horror movies in one, which made me fall in love with it. We get to play with the entire horror toolbox. You never know what’s coming next in our story, because it changes every night.”
Weaving in several different tropes of terror, “allows us to have the fun of killing off
our characters,” says Dauberman, with a smile. “It was both a challenge and tremendous fun because we had the freedom to say, ‘Yeah, f*** it, let’s just kill him.’”
"Until Dawn" is an expansion of PlayStation Studios’ popular videogame of the same name. As fans of the game, Sandberg and Dauberman saw an opportunity to build upon its world and turn "Until Dawn" into a theatrical cinematic experience. The film introduces a new story and fresh characters, tailored to a broader horror audience while honoring what makes the game so memorable.
