Until Dawn isn’t as scary or amusing as it should be. It’s just frustrating.

You’ve seen all this gore before and better.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2025

Until Dawn is a chaotic and entertaining ride that blends multiple horror subgenres into a single blood-soaked narrative. It’s a fast, freaky, and fun adaptation that respects the original game while playing by its own bloody rules.

If you're a die-hard fan of the game, maybe steer clear of this one. If you're just looking for a forgettable, overstuffed horror movie with cool kills and a messy plot, it might scratch that itch.

Until Dawn" has the start of an interesting premise that has five characters trying to survive a hellish situation, but a distinct lack of substance, coupled with the film's repetitive nature, merely turns the film into a bit of a slog.

Some funny moments, some good gore… what more do you want from a video game turned horror flick?

Frights and imagination for horror fans.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Jun 27, 2025

Murkily shot and low on humour, Until Dawn spins its wheels and becomes more tired with each cycle, leaving a solid premise dead on its feet.

Until Dawn couldn't and doesn't surpass its inspiration, but for viewers seeking a different kind of horror thrill, this is a fairly solid diversion.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jun 24, 2025

Whether it’s a faithful adaptation of its video game source material or not, Until Dawn is by-the-numbers horror you should think twice about spending the night with.

But in terms of live-action video game adaptations, which are almost always terrible, Until Dawn stands out as a fun little curio that tried to forge its own path – and almost succeeded.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 15, 2025

This gorefest has a few good touches here and there, but it ultimately succumbs to a poor sense of rhythm—and to the nagging feeling that none of this really makes very much sense.

Enjoy a couple of decent jump scares, then cringe at the (dull and indecisive) narrative... (although) the production design looks ready-made for Halloween Horror Nights...

If you fail the fans at the top of your Until Dawn film, who is this offshoot for?

Full Review | Original Score: D | May 12, 2025

“Until Dawn” combines “The Vanishing” (1988), “Silent Hill” (2006), “The Endless” (2017) with a dash of “Doll Eyes” (2021) and “Storm of the Century” (1999). There are visual shout outs to Sam Raimi’s horror films.

Audiences looking for some cheap thrills and mindless entertainment could do a lot worse and in the echelon of video games-turned-movies, it’s not bad.

Until Dawn is not exactly a confusing mess but it never really capitalises on some of the great ideas that its screenwriters had. It flounders at times but a creative final act at least makes it something you will remember.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 8, 2025

An atrocious script is ever-so-slightly elevated by impressive practical effects and a genuine sense of fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 6, 2025

The actors are likeable, though Dauberman & Butler's script does little to flesh them out and most of the plot mechanics don't make sense. The film is saved by its practical FX and its watchability. It's slight, but a decent time.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2025

Until Dawn wants to carve its own path, separate from its source material. Ironically, in trying to be different, it ends up feeling more clichéd than ever.
