    In search of their missing friend, five college kids are swept into a nightmarish puzzle. While the video-game adaptation UNTIL DAWN
    (Netflix) doesn't waste time fitting its inherited rules into coherent
    fantasy, neither does it offer much beyond elaborate gore. {Directed by
    David Sandberg - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glovu1BHZiU ) For
    horror junkies, it's minimally recommended.

    Knowing the game there's little doubt that most won't make it out.
    Playing through the game you will almost always lose most, if not all,
    of your kids the first few playthroughs. The quicktime events aren't
    that hard but figuring out which options will save everyone can be
    tough.

    Though not into video games, I was embarrassed that I didn't immediately
    cotton onto this movie being one.

    Are we adapting movies from video games now? Graphic novels was the big
    thing and I can probably count on one hand the number of movies I've
    like from that.

    Borderlands movie, Fallout streaming series, both of those IMMEDIATELY
    leapt to mind. Oh, let's not forget the Mario Brothers movies (yes,
    plural), the Minecraft movie. I'm sure there are plenty more that I'm
    just too tired to care to try to remember.

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.
