Until Dawn (2025) - S12 E93

We’re back for the 3rd instalment of the season, diving into the often cursed realm of video game movies. This week, we’re dissecting the very recent movie adaptation of the cult classic interactive horror game, Until Dawn (2025). Will this adaptation keep you awake Until Dawn, or will you be begging for bedtime? The film, directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle Creation, Shazam) takes a bold swing, opting for a time-loop mechanic, a decision considered a departure from the game and a choice Sarah has opinions about. What to expect from this episode: Sarah’s spoiler-filled comparison of the film to the beloved Until Dawn game. Our thoughts on David F. Sandberg’s vision and creative flair. Critiques of the film’s time-loop mechanic. Why the characters felt as distinct as different shades of beige. Praise for the practical effects. Discussion on missed opportunities. A look at where Until Dawn (2025) ranks among other horror movie and computer game adaptations. Would you like to see the full lineup for season 12?
