When Until Dawn landed on Netflix last week, I felt a sense of morbid curiosity. When director David F. Sandberg’s adaptation of the 2015 survival horror game released in theaters earlier this year, I was utterly disappointed and found myself agreeing with Polygon’s review: This film is trying to do too much. I was also severely bummed that anything resembling the original game was mostly reduced to blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameos or a complete reinvention of characters (Dr. Hill, I’m looking at you) that feels so left-field it truly just takes you out of the entire film.
