A fantastic watch, for a certain type of person!
It's been a long time since I saw a slasher I enjoyed. We're in an era of more psychological based horror, which I have nothing against, but sometimes you do want horror to be more of an escape than an analysis. This movie does that extremely well. It's not brainless, it has good roots and concepts, but it isn't trying to make a huge statement on society, and it does well with what it has!
I've never played Until Dawn, so I can't speak on the authenticity of the product, but as a movie it holds up.
I will say the gore can be a bit much. Stop reading here if you want to avoid spoilers!

As someone who works with butchering animals on occasion and has had to learn how everything is put together, it can be very easy for me to become disillusioned with horror effects. I call it 'The Meat Problem'- SFX crews have only seen the meat on store shelves, and forget that there's bones, ligaments, organs, and anything but blood and what looks like a full steak in there. This movie exceeded my expectations on that front! In the scene where a character's head is crushed, you get to see brain matter, eyes, skull, teeth, and skin in the pile!
I can't tell how much of that is practical and how much is CGI, but that's a good thing. I *shouldn't* be able to tell.
One point docked because of the names of the monsters. It's not only insensitive, it's just wrong? That's not what that is or does, and it would have been more interesting to see a creative, unique monster. Nothing was preventing them from doing that.

Nah
Forced diversity and much more
And a terrible adaptation of the game
Also why is the previous review giving it a woke free rate, and then complains about cultural insensitivity 😂 did he access the wrong website?
