Until Dawn

I was honestly really curious about the movie at first - the game is one of the best horror experiences I've ever had. Unfortunately, my hopes were already crushed after the very first trailer, and after watching the film, I can only say: it was even worse than expected.

The beginning actually isn't that bad: a few cool, crazy deaths, a mix of different horror genres (slasher, ghosts, monsters), and a bit of a Groundhog Day vibe that made it genuinely fun for a while. For a moment, I thought maybe they'd just do their own entertaining thing, even if it had nothing to do with the game anymore.

But then... the movie completely falls apart. After just three nights of horror, the whole story suddenly gets skipped over. There's no buildup, no development, no tension. Instead of becoming clever or making survival feel exciting, the characters just randomly stumble through the plot. Everything becomes flat, boring, and absolutely uninteresting.

And then the biggest joke: at the end, the movie desperately tries to somehow tie itself into the Until Dawn lore. But it just feels cheap and completely disrespectful to what made the game so special. No emotion, no real danger, no real characters - just empty shells wandering through a story that doesn't even take itself seriously.

Such a shame. The basic idea had real potential if they had just stuck with the fun, creative tone from the first half. Instead, we got one of those typical "we know better than the original" disaster movies. A complete waste of time and money.
