"Until Dawn Hits Theaters: Streaming Release Date Pending"

Video game adaptations are currently taking the entertainment world by storm. This month alone, we've seen the release of a Minecraft Movie, a Devil May Cry anime, and the ongoing production of The Last of Us Season 2. Adding to this trend, Sony's 2015 survival horror game, Until Dawn, is now being transformed into a movie.

Until Dawn made a significant impact during the peak of the YouTube "Let's Play" era, offering a thrilling experience for both players and viewers alike. With its high-quality cinematics, impactful in-game choices, and spine-chilling jump scares, it quickly became a favorite among horror enthusiasts. However, the new movie seems to draw inspiration mainly from the game's title 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, the allure of horror and curiosity about the adaptation keep fans intrigued.

If you're eager to catch Until Dawn in theaters or curious about when it will be available for streaming, here are all the details you need.

Until Dawn hit the theaters on Friday, April 25. You can find showtimes near you at the following major theater chains:

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

Until Dawn Streaming Release Date

The movie will eventually be available for streaming on Netflix, thanks to a licensing agreement with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Recent releases like Venom: The Last Dance and Saturday Night have followed a pattern of landing on Netflix four months after their theatrical debut. If this pattern continues, you can expect **Until Dawn to be available to stream on Netflix around August 25**.

What About VOD?

Before it hits streaming, Until Dawn will be available for purchase or rental through digital marketplaces such as Prime Video. The exact VOD release date can vary, often influenced by the movie's box office performance. However, with shorter theatrical windows becoming more common, Until Dawn might be available to rent by the end of May.

While the Until Dawn movie takes inspiration from the 2014 survival horror game, it introduces new characters and a fresh storyline. 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."
