Video game adaptations are currently riding a wave of popularity, with recent releases like the Minecraft Movie, the Devil May Cry anime, and the ongoing second season of The Last of Us. Adding to this trend is the newly released movie inspired by Sony's 2015 survival horror game, Until Dawn. The game itself became a sensation during the peak of the YouTube "Let's Play" era, captivating audiences with its high-quality cinematics, impactful in-game choices, and memorable jump scares. However, the movie takes a different approach, drawing inspiration primarily from the game's name rather than its plot. As IGN's review of the Until Dawn movie notes, it "shares a title and some key details with the game that inspired it, though it mostly tries to do its own thing – to mixed results." Despite this, fans of horror and the original game are likely to find the movie intriguing.

AnswerSee Results**What Is Until Dawn About?** ------------------------------Although the Until Dawn movie draws inspiration from the 2014 survival horror game, it introduces new characters and a fresh narrative. Here's the official synopsis of the movie:
"One year after her sister disappeared, Clover and her friends head to the remote valley where she vanished to search for answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they soon encounter a masked killer who murders them one by one. However, when they mysteriously wake up at the beginning of the same night, they're forced to relive the terror over and over again."
From IGN’s Review of the Original Until Dawn Game:
"At its best, Until Dawn is a gleefully cheesy homage to horror movies, set in a world built by a developer that clearly adores the genre. Although its thrills are tempered by a lack of story cohesion, its robust choice-and-consequence system and keen eye on horror’s most ridiculous tropes makes Until Dawn ultimately worth playing."
