Sony Pictures Entertainment has unveiled the first footage from the Until Dawn movie adaptation on its official YouTube channel. A full trailer is expected to drop soon.
The film is directed by David F. Sandberg (Shazam!) with a screenplay by Gary Dauberman (It). The story will introduce new characters and feature a unique twist: a time loop mechanic. Characters will die and come back to life, with each iteration shifting the horror subgenre.
One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover 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 nightmare 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.
The movie is set to premiere on April 25.
