"Until Dawn Hits Theaters: Streaming Release Date Pending"

Video game adaptations are currently all the rage, with recent releases like the Minecraft Movie, the Devil May Cry anime, and the ongoing The Last of Us Season 2. Adding to this list is the movie inspired by Sony's 2015 survival horror game, Until Dawn. I fondly remember Until Dawn launching during the peak of the YouTube "Let's Play" era, a game that was equally thrilling to watch as it was to play. It boasted high-quality cinematics, impactful in-game choices, and some truly terrifying jumpscares.

However, the movie seems to diverge significantly from the original game, taking inspiration primarily from its title. According to IGN’s review, the film "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, my curiosity and love for horror keep me intrigued.

If you're planning to catch Until Dawn in theaters or are eager to know when it will be available to stream, here are the details you need.

Until Dawn hit theaters on Friday, April 25. You can find showtimes near you by visiting the following theater websites:

• Fandango
• Regal Theaters
• AMC Theaters
• Cinemark Theaters
• Alamo Drafthouse

Until Dawn Streaming Release Date

Until Dawn will eventually stream on Netflix, thanks to a licensing agreement with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Recent Sony movies like Venom: The Last Dance and Saturday Night have become available on Netflix exactly four months after their theatrical release. Following this trend, **Until Dawn will likely be available to stream on Netflix around August 25.**

What About VOD?

Before hitting streaming services, Until Dawn will be available for purchase or rental through digital marketplaces like Prime Video. VOD release dates can vary based on box office performance, but with shorter theatrical windows, you might be able to rent Until Dawn by the end of May.

What Is Until Dawn About?

While the Until Dawn movie takes its name from the 2014 survival horror game, it features different characters and a standalone storyline. Here's the official synopsis:

"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."
