In this review, IGN delves into the world of resurrected PS4 games, with a particular focus on Until Dawn's transition to the big screen. The team at IGN, much like a finely tuned sports car, dissect the movie adaptation with surgical precision. They note the intriguing divergence from the game's core plot, where characters face a relentless cycle of death and resurrection in increasingly gruesome ways. This unique twist, akin to a turbocharged engine, adds a fresh perspective to the typical horror genre formula.
However, much like a temperamental supercar, the movie struggles to find its footing, wavering between catering to new audiences and appeasing die-hard fans. The IGN crew, known for their discerning taste, find the execution lacking, with missed opportunities for more impactful moments. The characters, akin to drivers in a high-speed race, are criticized for their lack of strategic thinking in a Groundhog Day-esque scenario. This lack of depth in character development leaves a metaphorical flat tire on the overall viewing experience.
The original writers of Until Dawn find themselves in the passenger seat, feeling overlooked and unappreciated in the movie adaptation process. Multiple scripts were considered, with one aiming to emulate the meta-horror style of acclaimed director Wes Craven. Despite the promising premise, the movie ultimately fails to rev up its engines and deliver a satisfying performance. The IGN team, like seasoned race commentators, suggest looking to other horror films for a more exhilarating ride, highlighting the successes of adaptations like Cabin in the Woods. Ultimately, the disappointment in the missed potential of the Until Dawn movie adaptation echoes the sentiment of a high-performance car left idling at the starting line, waiting for its moment to shine.
