Until Dawn: Death Without End, a horror film directed by David F. Sandberg, will be available on Prime Video starting September 23, 2026. Released in theaters in April 2025, the feature adapts the PlayStation video game universe with an original story led by Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino and Odessa A’zion.
A year after Clover's sister Melanie disappeared, Clover heads with a group of friends to the secluded valley where she was last seen. They explore an abandoned care facility in the hope of uncovering what happened to her, only to find themselves hunted by a masked killer.
After being murdered, the young people wake up at the start of the same evening. With each new attempt they’re confronted by a different threat and a death that’s harder to foresee. With a finite number of lives, they must crack the rules of this loop and survive until dawn to have a chance of leaving the valley.
The film doesn’t directly adapt the plot of the 2015 game Until Dawn. It introduces new characters and a different valley, but preserves the core idea: a group cut off from the rest of the world whose choices determine who survives. Here, the time loop replaces the player-driven branching: the protagonists can die multiple times, observe the consequences of their mistakes, and then try a new strategy.
The presence of Peter Stormare offers the closest link to the video game. The actor is reprising the role of Dr. Hill, the enigmatic figure who appeared between the chapters of the original adventure. The film is being developed in partnership with PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures.
David F. Sandberg, director of Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, helms a screenplay by Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler. Around Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino and Odessa A’zion, the cast also includes Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli and Maia Mitchell.
The setup brings Until Dawn closer to slasher films built around repeating the same day, while varying the forms of the threat with each new loop. The abandoned center, the group's isolation, and the uncertainty about the rules of the place also place it in the same family as films like The Cabin in the Woods.
