Sony's 'Until Dawn' Movie Introduces Time Loop Horror Mechanic

The film adaptation of the 2015 video game expands its universe with an original story and a new cast, set to release April 25, 2025.

The movie adapts the tone and universe of the 'Until Dawn' game but tells a completely original story with new characters and plot elements.
A key feature of the movie is a time loop mechanic where characters relive the same night, facing different horror genres with each reset.
Peter Stormare reprises his role as Dr. Hill from the game, though his character appears to have a new narrative function in the film.
The cast includes Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A'zion, Maia Mitchell, Belmont Cameli, and Ji-young Yoo, with direction by David F. Sandberg.
The film aims to replicate the game's interactive choice-based mechanics through its unique narrative structure rather than directly adapting the original storyline.
