I did enjoy Until Dawn!

Hello friends, today I want to share a little bit of my opinion about this movie that I had the opportunity to see a few days ago. Until Dawn is a movie based on the game of the same name, a horror and decision-making game that takes us through different plot twists. I actually saw this game a long time ago in a gameplay video, and I don't remember much about the story, which allowed me to watch the movie without comparing it too much. What I can say is that this movie is completely different from the game in many ways, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
In this review, I am not seeking to compare the film with the game, as I mentioned earlier, the plot is completely different, and I also have very vague memories of this game.
The film begins with the murder of a girl, quite quickly and without context, and then shows us another scene where a group of friends are looking for the sister of one of them, who has been missing for a long time. We see the typical cliché of kids going to a faraway place, only this time it's not to spend a vacation but rather to find out about the missing girl. When they arrive at this place, everything looks strange, weird things start to happen, and suddenly the night turns into total madness.
Everyone quickly dies, but then an hourglass turns over and the night restarts over and over again. They die several times, and each time they encounter more dangerous and strange creatures. They even die from drinking wáter, the challenge is to survive one night and make it until dawn in order to break free from this endless cycle.
I feel that it works quite well as a horror film. In fact, I dare say that it had been a long time since I had seen a horror film that scared and surprised me the way this one did. We enjoyed it and I was never bored. It made me jump several times and has some pretty gory and bizarre scenes that I really think are very good. I've seen a lot of people complaining about this film, I guess they're fans of the game and know the story well, which made me a little discouraged and slow to see it, but as always, it's never good to be 100% swayed by other people's reviews. I liked it a lot and would watch it again, perhaps to pay closer attention to certain details.
Although if I had to find a weak point, it would be that I didn't really understand the plot of the person behind all these events. apparently there was an accident in a mine and that's what triggered everything, plus they were conducting experiments on people, but I feel like they didn't go into much detail about this and I was left with a lot of questions. At one point, I even thought that I hadn't understood the movie or maybe I missed something, but my husband had the same doubts as me, so that part needed more details or maybe they're preparing a second movie.
I thought each member of this group of friends performed well, although there were some ups and downs in certain scenes. Even so, I feel that they won me over and, overall, it was a good effort, much better than most of the horror films I have seen recently.
My rating for this film is 8.5/10 because, although the story is somewhat confusing, the horror scenes make up for it somewhat. I found the special effects, makeup, and everything else to be incredible and very realistic, and I was left wanting to see more.
Que genial, al parecer tiene una trama muy interesante. Tú descripción me recuerda un poco a Jumangi, pero está es muy bizarra en comparación.
¡Buenas reseñas!
Hey, what a good review! Notice that I had no idea that they had made an Until Dawn movie. The game did not think of me, but I never played it. I am very close to what you say that the night is restarted again and again, it gives a very interesting turn to the typical slasher of a group of friends in a cabin. And it is totally true what you say, sometimes going without knowing much about the original material is the best, because you enjoy the movie for what it is and do not pass it by. Thanks for the recommendation.
I actually quite enjoyed it too ❤️
