Until Dawn, a horror thriller based on the hit Sony Interactive Entertainment video game, is coming soon to digital streaming.
Rated R, Until Dawn opened in theaters on April 25. The official summary for the film reads, “One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover (Ella Rubin) and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one … only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening.
“Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the night again and again — only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.”
Directed by David F. Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation), Until Dawn also stars Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Maia Mitchell and Peter Stormare.
Rated R, Until Dawn will debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Friday, May 23, a Prime Video listing confirms.
The film will also be available to purchase or rent on a variety of digital platforms including Apple TV, Fandango at Home and YouTube.
Currently, Until Dawn is listed for pre-order on Prime Video for $24.99. Since digital rentals are typically $5 less than purchase prices on PVOD, viewers can expect to rent Until Dawn for $19.99 for 48 hours.
