What This Means For Until Dawn
Video Game Adaptations Are Popular Right Now
The 50% score means that at least half of the critics found the new adaptation somewhat entertaining. In her Until Dawn review, ScreenRant's Mary Kassel gave the movie 8 out of 10 stars, writing: "the production design is a highlight, fully immersing us in this nightmarish world and expanding naturally." They also praised the movie for not taking itself too seriously and ultimately found the ending satisfying. Thus, it is important to understand that critics have fallen on both ends of the spectrum with the horror movie, leading to this mixed Rotten Tomatoes score.
Why Hayden Panetierre & Rami Malek Aren't In The Until Dawn Movie
The Until Dawn movie will not be bringing back two of the biggest characters from the video games, but there was no way that they could have worked.
In recent years, video game adaptations have grown increasingly popular. Most recently, theatrical audiences saw the release of A Minecraft Movie. Though the film has also gotten mixed reviews, it has been a huge box-office success. There is also an interest in horror video game adaptations as The Last of Us season 2 is currently releasing episodes weekly on HBO. While this installment comes from a more controversial game, The Last of Us: Part II, the season is getting strong reviews overall, scoring a 95% Tomatometer.
Our Take On The Until Dawn Rotten Tomatoes Score
The Filmmakers Had A Hard Task
The Until Dawn game is well-liked and pretty iconic in the video game community, so the movie has big shoes to fill. Whereas something like The Last of Us is more focused on narrative than complex gameplay in the first place, director David S. Sandberg and the rest of the Until Dawn team had to adapt a game where the player's actions are critical to the story's progression. Ultimately, video game fans will be the best judges of this film as it releases widely in theaters this weekend.
