Ella Rubin in “Until Dawn.”
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.
