About Until Dawn:
Until Dawn, first released for PlayStation 4 on August 25, 2015, is a game that puts the fate of eight friends trapped in a remote mountain retreat, where they are not alone, in your hands. Plunged into fear and with tensions rising, they must fight their fears if they hope to make it through the night unharmed. Play as each of the eight characters and experience fear like never before. Every decision you make in your terrifying search for answers could mean the difference between life and death, but for whom? Your actions alone will decide who survives until dawn.
The film adaptation promises to capture the essence of the game, offering fans an intense and terrifying experience. With an ensemble cast and a script that mixes horror with crucial decisions, Until Dawn prepares to bring its terrifying narrative to life on the big screen.
