Until Dawn

To start off, I don't own any video game systems let alone never heard of <I>Until Dawn</i> until the first trailer for the film came out, which looked fantastic. However, looks (maybe it's the acting and storyline?) can be deceiving.

What began with a short, yet exciting introduction to the film eventually dissolved into a repetitive mess of sorts. I believe there were a few missing pieces to the plot, such as how did this actual place come to be (not the town imploding junk they fed us), but I pushed those aside because I was too distracted by the acting and dialog between the cast. The characters went straight for each other's throats instead of team-building, therefore allowing themselves to be killed off one by one every evening they were stuck there. I gave up caring for them halfway through, rooting for their eventual demise each time.

What I did enjoy were the creatures and kills, as well as the spectacular set design, which really impressed me. My LG OLED TV's <B>Perfect Black</b> enabled a great watching experience by highlighting the darkness of the film, and while it made everything better, my one-star rating is a reflection of the film as a whole. Unfortunately, the gore and kills couldn't move it to three stars.
