Until Dawn – Horror Thriller | 25 Apr 2025
Overview
From the visionary director David F. Sandberg (known for Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation) comes Until Dawn, a pulse-pounding horror thriller that traps a group of friends in a nightmarish time loop. With Screen Gems, PlayStation Productions, and Vertigo Entertainment behind the production, this film promises relentless scares, inventive set-pieces, and a crushing atmosphere—if they want to survive, they must make it until dawn.
Synopsis
During a stormy weekend getaway, six college friends reunite at an isolated lakeside cabin. But when a mysterious force strands them in a perpetual night, they discover they must confront both supernatural horrors and their own darkest secrets. Each time someone dies, the loop resets—forcing the survivors to relive the terror over and over. As grotesque figures stalk them through misty woods and shadowed corridors, the group races against time (and fate) to break the cycle before the sun rises—for good.

What Sets Until Dawn Apart
- Innovative Time-Loop Concept: More than a haunted-house thriller, the loop mechanic raises the stakes—every decision matters, and each reset reveals new clues (and horrors).
- Atmospheric Cinematography: Bone-chilling visuals capture the oppressive darkness of the woods and the claustrophobia of the cabin, courtesy of a top-tier cinematography team.
- Relatable Characters: Far from one-dimensional genre tropes, these friends have history and conflict—so when danger strikes, their emotional fallout is just as intense as the scares.
- Heart-Stopping Score: A pulse-driven soundtrack underscores each jump-scare and moment of dread, making the film a fully immersive experience.
