Until Dawn (2025) WEB-DL [Hindi (DD5.1) & English] Dual Audio [x264/10Bit-HEVC] | Full Movie

I went to this see this one at the theaters on a bored Thursday, with Regal Unlimited. I was the only one at my screening. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by this one

Firstly – I’ll clarify that I had never heard of the video game until this movie, so I entered the theater with a fresh slate. I don’t know if familiarity with the video game might make the movie more or less enjoyable; I can’t speak on that issue

Initially, I was skeptical about this film. The concept seemed a little shaky – the idea of people replaying a bad day seems trite. But in truth, the characters don’t simply experience the same day over and over again. Rather, they encounter different horrors each day; the effect is that the film doesn’t become another Happy Death Day . And the horrors that they experience are often well-done. The villains are menacing; some of the kills are cool. The movie has the right pacing.

Most of all, I think the movie’s biggest strength comes from the behavior of the characters when they’re trapped in the loop. I admit that none of them, including the lead protagonist Clover, are especially likable or charming; and the movie’s opening scenes are weak as a result: the movie doesn’t really click until they actually end up in the loop. But once they’re in the loop, the characters refreshingly behave reasonably. They don’t do a lot of dumb stuff; their choices and questions seem realistic and thoughtful. While they argue and fight amongst themselves a few times (mostly with the character Blake), none of their bickering is overdone to the point of irritance, and nobody really becomes a total annoyance or jerk. Overall – I never rolled my eyes at the behavior of the characters, a rare feat in most horror movies

The film does have it’s faults. The backstory of the setting and the loop isn’t clear. The movie has a subplot involving the lead actress and her missing sister: this subplot is undeveloped and forgettable. In the end, I think they should have scrapped that detail from the script. While the movie is very much watchable, there’s nothing here that’s completely original or groundbreaking
