Story Grips You
For those of us that were huge Scooby Doo fans, into mysteries (or at the very least into B-horror movies) Until Dawn is a treat. For those not into horror games, don’t fret, it’s not that scary. If you’re a fan of Cabin in the Woods, you’re all set with this tale of a group of totally different teens spending a frightful night in a lodge in the middle of nowhere.
Why are they together when they seemingly don’t share anything in common? Because High School. Why are they getting haunted? Because they’re assholes. Why would they play with an Ouija board, leave the lodge at night, or open thumping doors? Because they’re idiots. Without spoiling anything, though, the story gets much deeper and creepier than what’s initially apparent on the surface. And, even though they’re insufferable teens, the dialogue never once feels like a 45 year old trying to write a script for 19 year olds.
