“Are many people unaccounted for in this area?”

This ominous inquiry is made by Clover (Ella Rubin) to a tough stranger (Peter Stormare) while she searches for her lost sister. For enthusiasts of Supermassive Games’ *Until Dawn*, the response is both disquieting and recognizable. Nevertheless, the teaser for the forthcoming film adaptation, directed by David F. Sandberg (*Shazam!*, *Lights Out*), suggests some captivating updates and new twists on the cherished PlayStation title. Significantly, the film replaces the game’s isolated, snow-laden mountain lodge with a misty valley visitor’s center. Even with this shift in location, the fundamental concept endures: a group of youthful companions must survive a horrifying night filled with dread—and numerous chances to meet tragic ends.

As hinted in [the film’s first sneak peek](https://mashable.com/video/until-dawn-first-look-movie), one of the game’s most exciting features will transition into the movie. The characters won’t simply perish—they’ll have visions of their potential deaths, offering them a chance to change their outcomes and outsmart the masked murderers (along with other terrifying dangers) pursuing them. While this twist may lessen the finality of the stakes, it paves the way for even more gruesome fatalities and a blend of horror subgenres to thrill fans. In other words, *Until Dawn* is elevating the standards—and the body count.

*Until Dawn* arrives in theaters exclusively on April 25.
