Until Dawn Trailer #1 (2025)

[@Unidan]

Some boomer executive was like “yeah yeah video game I get it”

[@FritzLewisFilms]

For real 😭

[@JoseGomez-en4pg]

Man just shut up

[@JoJo-cs5gp]

The trailer makes this seem like a low-budget horror movie you'd see on netflix.

[@jimmywashere8753]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@MikeHeldTheWorld]

This is like the exact opposite premise of the game. In the game if a character died, they stayed dead. That was the whole point of the game.

[@Ella-pk3en]

they used the idea of ​​totems and the butterfly effect to bring the mechanics of "choices and consequences" into the film. I didn't think it was a bad idea, although it reminds me of Dead By Daylight

[@itsnrv1817]

Stay mad bro it’s a movie

[@MintReactions]

Isn't that every movie?

[@Ryno_757]

One aspect of the game, yes.

[@crono_digger]

So basically every generic horror ever 😂 cry harder

[@blackjack087]

Pitch Meeting is gonna LOVE this movie....

[@firetigerwarrior]

they can title it as "Until The Soup Gets Cold", cuz this trailer is basically a big mashup.

[@nugget3975]

This isn't Until Dawn. "The original game was a movie" "The original story would be boring" DON'T CARE don't serve me canned tuna and call it sashimi. Adding on: If you think this is fine and calling it Until Dawn doesn't matter, then you didn't like the game. The people who made this movie are literally laughing in our faces and telling us what we want to see without caring if it's true. It's just another Happy Death Day clone.

[@firetigerwarrior]

sitcking every horror movie trope and creepypasta into one mixing bowl, then pour the soup on the script paper.

[@jimmywashere8753]

They took a horror movie they already had in production and just changed the title to Until Dawn but it has nothing to do with any videogame ever.

[@AscendantStoic]

Weren't all the characters in the game already based on actors and voiced by them, why not just hire them to do the roles!?

[@BrysonRyenn]

Facts

[@jimbo9208]

to old

[@akuma_saint]

Oh that's easy and quick Google search would tell you New people. Doesn't tell the story from the game.

[@AscendantStoic]

@akuma_saint Why even call it Until Dawn then, who is this even for!? 😅

[@akuma_saint]

@AscendantStoic "Why even call it Until Dawn" Brand recognition. We know what the series is about and on the comments of stuff, we talk about it. Other people not on know know that we know and want to know more because FOMO. Hell, they might even buy it to play for themselves. "Who is this even for?" Horror fans? As someone who also played Until Dawn and loved it, this trailer does seem to get the assignment of the game - we as the player knew what was up from the totems, this time the group is stuck in a time loop and will have to use their deaths as a way to survive DUN DUN DUN Until Dawn. *Dramatic piano*

[@KeyFrame11Media]

So they took the game and it's title, and combined it with Cabin in the Woods, and Groundhogs Day, and turned it into this.

[@StraightEdgeStoner420]

Lol, I thought the same thing.

[@Rqblt]

No they took the title and its monsters left behind the snow, the original story, the original characters and THEN combined it with cabin in the woods and groundhogs day basically turning it into their very own dead by daylight movie

[@1Dragon-King171]

The game is already a movie 😂😂

[@BrysonRyenn]

It's a completely different movie with the same title

[@jimbo9208]

how

[@superj2644]

And that's why it's good they went in a different direction with the movie

[@faisal_noor]

True but the story looks different...

[@Markunator]

Not _this_ movie, though…at least!

[@ZardozXerxes]

Certified rotten before its even out.

[@AdrianG23228]

Am i the only one that thinks this is neat. Characters are essentially getting the bad endings each time reset and they need to figure out how to get the good ending. Yeah obviously not the same as the game but i think its a cool way to present the idea of choices in a movie format. The game would be impossible to replicate 1:1 into a movie unless yall wanted the same story without what made until dawn cool

[@gabrielaguilera3960]

So basically it's Dark Picture Anthology movie instead, cuz Until Dawn was actually good

[@BrysonRyenn]

I wish the storyline was the same as the game

[@brunobru7083]

What storyline...? And the game still exists

[@BrysonRyenn]

@@brunobru7083 They are turning this into a typical horror film. The use of different supernatural creatures makes it feel like cabin in the woods and time distortion makes it just like happy death day. Until dawn (game) is more intricate and the wendigos are the sole villains

[@justnathan3183]

no the game is already a basic horror movie. its a multiple ending slasher movie up until half way where it switches genres for the windigo storyline. this movie is a multiple story slasher movie that switched genres every time they die. its about as good as you can turn Until Dawn into a movie without copying the original​@BrysonRyenn

[@BrysonRyenn]

@ if they are using the title they should have used the same story as well. I get what you're saying though, I think the execution of the film will be telling in terms of how successful it is

[@WEFAHawkStreet]

If people are wondering, outside of casting Peter Storemare, and having the same name, nothing else is the same as the game. There was a video released about “the making of”, it is basically just a groundhogs day thing, instead of Wendigos. The characters aren’t the same, the location isn’t the same, nothing is the same except for the title. Honestly, doesn’t look like a bad film. But I don’t like that they are tying to say it’s based off a game that it has nothing in common with, just to sell more tickets.

[@StraightEdgeStoner420]

Remember Final Fantasy: Spirits Within? I think that's the gold standard for movies that are nothing like the games.

[@robybalde5742]

It's more like Dead by Daylight, the fact that you die the comeback to suffer further...

[@Rqblt]

So basically they gotta make it “until dawn” or they would be “dead by daylight”

[@OrsilloFanClub]

@@Rqblt😂😂

[@DavianChester]

It was just a prank, Han

[@maple357]

this comment SENT me 😂 literally heard it in her voice

[@DavianChester]

@maple357 😭😭😭

[@scarletspidernz]

Some dude just wrote a generic horror movie script and added time loop, and then some exec said up we'll do it but need a better title, looked up horror video games and picked Until dawn. thats how we got this IMDb future rated 5/10 movie From IMDb trivia: "This film adaptation diverges significantly from the storyline of the original video game, introducing an entirely new ensemble of characters that expand the narrative. The plot has been reimagined and altered, taking bold creative liberties that set it apart from the source material, offering viewers a fresh perspective on the themes and action inherent in the game." The word salad to say its something very different from the game.

[@roninunrefined1637]

You could’ve made 2 cuts of the movie so certain audiences can see one ending while others see another but they’ll come back to try to see the other ending. When it finally releases you could’ve released a director’s cut and deleted scenes that show how characters could’ve live or perished if they made different decisions. But instead you chose to make Happy Death Day yet again.

[@danielhooper27]

That's a stupid idea

[@AdrianG23228]

So I gotta pay multiple times to see different cuts of the movie. You're tweaking

[@victormalves3118]

Until dawn movie before GTA VI

[@JK_JK_JK_JK]

🧐

[@jimbo9208]

and

[@superj2644]

Won't be able to make these comments come winter 2025

[@stephenr9204]

Yeah, because they don’t put effort into films anymore.

[@DirectorTurnerable]

“I’m looking for my sister” “She missing?” “I didn’t say that,..” But you’re looking for her…

[@alwayswannabewrite]

Is everyone still excited about that Helldivers movie? 😂

[@sharky408yee]

Nope

[@silerrobinette8222]

Yes

[@TheDreamClown]

This actually looks like a lot of fun and a fun twist if the Groundhog Day thing, but why label it Until Dawn if it isn’t a faithful game adaptation

[@loriparker666]

They just slapped the Until Dawn IP name to another movie already in development 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@russellhale967]

Apparently this movie is a standalone story set in the Until Dawn Universe, according to sources,

[@Moofydakidd]

Already messing up the quick time pop ups in the trailer

[@999dawnfm]

literally only thing i hate is that it’s not in the snow. i’m down for the film in general tho

[@applesplien624]

Nobody asked for this but for the people that did, where tf is Rami Malek? That’s the only reason I know this game exists

[@jimbo9208]

who cares if no one asked for this

[@Thecrazytravelguys]

Oscar winner, probably was mucho expensive

No one asked for any movie. Just be happy we got it.

[@applesplien624]

@@CurtisOBryant I just enjoy seeing rami malek on screen and when I think of until dawn he’s pretty much what I think of. I’m all for a new story, new characters, and curious how they show the monsters, but this trailer is not it

[@Ramsesamonra]

*looks cool, but again, this is one of this trailer where everything is being spoiled/revealed, I mean comon, don't spoil too much, now we know exactly everything that is going to happen, trailers must be short and without too much revealing. Looks cool thou.*

[@Spiqaro]

Wait, so she gets immediately suspicious when he asks her, "She's gone missing?" Even though she's the one who said she's looking for her sister and shows him a picture of her?

[@jacksonmay153]

Sony: "It's just a PRANK BROOOOOOOOs"

[@fahedabdullah789]

This is nothing like a Game.

[@ozyramirez8758]

Looks solid as a horror movie. Effects look good, and the story isn't bad. Could've done without calling it Until Dawn since Im not sure it's exactly like the game, but if it's good, I'm there.

[@nunezosvaldo13]

1:42 it's wendigo right?

[@raider19601]

looks like one from the game, but it looks like another one at 1:52

[@trseppiabrilla3587]

Did they just make a movie with some elements of Dark Picture Anthology and called "Until dawn"? Damn

[@raider19601]

is it me or were they just told the name, that there is a "serial killer" and wendigo's in it then just turn their brains off for the rest of the synopsis?

[@corbinibroc]

In less than 2 minutes they manage to show us too much of the movie already

[@emmy372_bce0]

one frame in and yeah we’re cooked :(

[@KitsunoIRL]

This could’ve been a new game itself

[@raider19601]

would probably do better too

[@kilgoretrout5009]

Sony always goes low budget with their movies. So disappointing.

[@BrendenChase77]

Was Hayden Panettiere too busy??

[@davisphillips993]

This looks similar to Happy Death Day

[@Bradderz407]

Same name completely different story

[@HeavyHardDrive]

Groundhog Day......... but F'd up.

[@jorgenarea5722]

lol I guess The Replacer is just filling in.

[@ParoArtPixie]

I mean I like Cabin In The Woods but also I WANTED UNTIL DAWN

[@michaeldiamond878]

Not even gonna watch this, just came here to say we need to boycott these atrocious movies that ruin our favorite video games *cough cough Borderlands

[@BigScreenViewing]

Oh, I see. It’s exactly like the game. It’s an experience that mimics a movie.

[@Rqblt]

So basically until dawn is ripping off dead by daylight before that game actually becomes adapted into a movie

[@08vechkin08]

I hope this gets a test screening ASAP so people can say NOPE!

[@judderbud]

It looks like it’s kind of self-aware and they’re going to have fun with it. As long as they don’t tonally shift things during the movie too much it looks like a lot of fun. And props to them to include the Wendigo and also include a bunch of different ideas. Parts of me wish it was just directly taken from the game but other parts of me are glad that they’re taking risks.

[@ParoArtPixie]

I'm really glad they brought back Peter Stormare😊

[@zakhinch89]

Does it have anything to with the Until Dawn video it’s apparently based on and clearly using as a marketing boost, no but that’s just Hollywood babyyyyyy.

[@rodericklisbon4787]

Reminds me a little of Happy Death Day...

[@JK_JK_JK_JK]

😳 What The Actual F !!! 😳 😲 What Have I Just Watched?!?! 😲

[@milkmanx]

THIS IS NOT UNTIL DAWN JFC

[@FritzLewisFilms]

Just change the title of the movie. This is a lame excuse of an adaptation that just makes the game look bad.

[@BakedChobits]

Such a let down already

[@TheRealHulk34]

(Blink Twice) Until Dawn 🥲

[@darkwingdave79]

Where are the twins from the game?? Most importantly... where's the snow???

[@MacCormickCave]

*Oh, man...* *I think this movie would be more successful IF it wasn't called UNTIL DAWN.* *UNTIL DAWN won over a legion of fans for a reason. The game is a love letter to all horror movies.* *It has clichés and stereotypical characters that we love so much. It's a success. And the game knew how to take advantage of that.* *UNTIL DAWN (the game) is considered a masterpiece.* *And even the trailer for the game UNTIL DAWN is well done. They kept the creatures a secret, thus making it a surprise for those who play. And they succeeded. Because we all thought the game was just a slasher.* *As for the film... it seems to be good, don't get me wrong, I'm not judging without watching it first. But, I'm not feeling like "IT'S UNTIL DAWN"!* *It seems like it's the same thing they did with the RESIDENT EVIL franchise. Both Paul W.S Anderson and Netflix (They took the name RESIDENT EVIL, put it in the title, but the story HAS NOTHING to do with the game. Not even the essence).* *What a shame. And look, the game UNTIL DAWN has so much information, so much content, that it could even be a series.* *But, as always, Hollywood doesn't know how to take advantage of it.*

[@ordinary6]

Do you know what this looks like? It looks like an original idea that was combined with the Until Dawn IP for name recognition. Like Velma.

[@itsnrv1817]

Anybody who’s upset that they couldn’t make a film exactly following a story that has MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CHOICES leading to MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ENDINGS in a medium where what’s recorded is final sounds like an idiot. This is a cool premise, it’s not what I was expecting at all, and I’m holding space in case it actually delivers something good.

[@123haaaii]

hm but at least the monsters are the relatively the same throughout the game despite the multiple endings… that doesn’t make ppl idiotic for feeling a different way than you lol they could easily tell the story from the game and just decide who dies. I think the bigger issue is that people would have never been satisfied with any of the actors they’d find to cast it, especially bc the original actors are so loved.

[@itsnrv1817]

@@123haaaii If you make what was a choose-your-ending story a linear ending story, you’re still going to piss off the demographic of fans that have played and got all of the other endings. The real truth is that no matter how they went about doing this film, someone was gonna feel alienated and not like the results.

[@123haaaii]

@@itsnrv1817fair you’re allowed to feel that way, but to call ppl idiotic for disagreeing is crazy lol especially when they changed literally everything basically there is barely a common thing other than the wendigo cameo and the line “we have to survive until dawn” lol like that’s so cheesy … not to mention how none of these ideas are even fresh - like cabin in the woods and happy death day have already successfully done these concepts 😭 so like maybe it would have been better to just stick closer to the original game. Time will tell…

[@itsnrv1817]

@@123haaaii yeah but choose your own ending isn’t original either. Books have done it for years. I’m just saying there’s more important things to be upset over,

@@itsnrv1817to you, but maybe if it happened to some thing you really held as a favourite game/story, you’d maybe feel a bit different… really ppl are allowed to express criticism without it being seen as getting upset over nothing… it’s choose your own adventure style but really heavily focuses on the butterfly effect as something permanent in game… so it’s not even really a choose your own adventure game, more so a face your own consequence game that follows one story with multiple possible endings but really only in terms of who survives… really a minimal aspect of the game

[@Lucas-o1t6w]

It was just a prank, Han!

[@johnhart8856]

Now hear me out... I know it would have been massive work for the production team working on the film, but imagine if (in the true spirit of the game) they shot various alternate takes of each characters scene where they could either live or die, edit them together to make dozens of essentially the same film narratively, but with different outcomes, and whichever version you saw depended on which session you happened to attend. It would give cinema goers an experience unlike any they've ever had before! And finally, with the bluray release they could have either a randomizer mode (which gives you the same unique viewing experience you had in cinema) or an editing tool that allows you to construct the version you want to see (by selecting each characters fate of live or die one by one). How cool would that be?! Totally missed opportunity there!

[@stephenmoran1000]
