It’s fair to say Supermassive horror games are like movies themselves. The gameplay is not your standard survival horror. You have choice-based decisions that result in devastating life-and-death consequences, phenomenal camera work that gives a cinematic quality, and an original character-driven story that’s unlike any other. That’s what makes these games super enjoyable and engaging.

But have you ever wondered if there’s something similar out there in the film realm to those stories that Supermassive creates? The developer is often inspired by other horror films and games in the genre when it comes to crafting its own projects, and the following movies might seem like a good match.

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, Antlers, And Wendigo (2001) 

Until Dawn features themes of cannibalism, takes you to a dilapidated sanatorium in the snowy mountains, and bases its lore on the folkloric entity known as the Wendigo from the Indigenous culture of the Algonquin people.

Wrong Turn 4 is a good starting point. It follows a group of college students on their way to a friend’s cabin during winter break, who then get lost on their snowmobiles and have to take refuge from a snowstorm inside the old Glenville Sanatorium, where they’re brutally hunted by a team of three cannibal brothers – Three Finger, Saw Tooth, and One Eye.

Starring Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons, the 2021 film Antlers features the Wendigo creature in all its glory. The setting revolves around a mine in the fictional Oregon town of Cispus Falls and weaves a supernatural story of trauma.

2001’s Wendigo is actually written and directed by Larry Fessenden, one of the writers of Until Dawn, so you can say the spirit of the Wendigo follows him.

For the Record: Fessenden and Graham Reznick were writers on several other projects sighted:
DARK PICTURES: MAN OF MEDAN
THE INPATIENT
and Reznick went on to scribe THE QUARRY
