Gizmodo: Cult Auteur Larry Fessenden on Until Dawn, True Detective, and His New Werewolf Movie

Fangoria: UNTIL DAWN Review: This Won’t Keep You Up At Night

Dread Central: The 5 Best Horror Video Game Adaptations According To Rotten Tomatoes

Graham Reznick and Fessenden, the writers of the Award Winning video game UNTIL DAWN are sourced in reviews across the web.

From Fangoria: There are two names conspicuously missing from the credits of Until Dawn: Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, who wrote the PlayStation hit the film is based on. By the time those end titles roll, though, you’ll understand why: This adaptation has little to do with the game. Those familiar with Fessenden’s filmography will also get this idea from the way the movie retcons/bollixes up (choose one) the origins of Fessenden’s favorite creature, the Wendigo.

Fangoria has the skinny on the UNTIL DAWN movie adaptation.
Based off of the Award Winning PS4 video game penned by
Graham Reznick and Fessenden.

Now, the acclaimed game is coming to the big screen as a feature film from horror maestro David F. Sandberg. Until Dawn fans had been somewhat skeptical as to how its unique concept and gameplay could translate to the big screen, but it seems as if the terror we’ve come to know and love will still be injected into every scene. Ahead of Until Dawn’s release later this month, we have all the details you need to know to survive the night – from the film’s release date to cast, plot, and whether it will follow the games.

Blair Butler, who wrote the script, spoke to Dread Central about the difficulties in tackling Until Dawn: “To be totally honest, when I came on to this project, I loved the game. I feel like Supermassive and Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, the writers of the game, created this perfect playable horror movie that literally starred an Academy Award-winning actor. So that was going to be totally impossible to top. And we knew that the remaster would be coming out around the same time. And that was another reason that everyone felt like, wow, we don’t want to try to remake the original storyline beat for Beat because that feels a little blasphemous.”

Martin was a normal teenage boy before the country collapsed in an empty pit of economic and political disaster. A vampire epidemic has swept across what is left of the nation’s abandoned towns and cities, and it’s up to Mister, a death dealing, rogue vampire hunter,
to get Martin safely north to Canada, the continent’s New Eden.

“The Mayhem is beautifully composed. The Performances are terrific.”

“…highly satisfying low-budget horror-thriller from helmer/co-writer Jim Mickle.
Taking on a larger canvas than that of “Mulberry Street,” Mickle rises to the challenge, confirming his reputation as an emerging horror auteur.”

Over the course of one excessively blood-soaked night, multiple serial killers’ paths cross,
leaving a trail of bodies and begging the question:
Which psychopath will live to see morning?

“an overall environment of insanity, a kaleidoscope of bizarre behavior and shocking bloodshed.”
–Rue Morgue

“Psychopaths” is a dog whistle for midnight movie fans,
who are likely to cringe and laugh in equal measures.”
–The Cinemaholic

“With a hallucinatory visual and aural sense, and interspersed with nice nods to movies like
Taxi Driver and Audition, the film creates a nightmarish landscape of madness and murder.”
