PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures have released the full trailer for the Until Dawn film adaptation, which arrives just in time for the game’s 10th anniversary.

The upcoming horror take is helmed by David F. Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation, Lights Out) and written by Gary Dauberman (It, Annabelle series, The Nun series) and Blair Butler. The first thing fans of the game will notice is that while Until Dawn is set in the same world as its source material with the involvement of Wendigos, it does not follow the storyline nor feature the same cast of characters.

This new group of friends return to Blackwood Mountain a year after Melanie, the sister of Clover, disappeared. They get brutally murdered, but find themselves being forced to relive the horrific events of the evening with different threats each time, and the only way for them to get out alive is to survive until the morning comes. Dr. Hill, played by Peter Stormare, returns to the franchise and will “delve into his character’s involvement in the events of the game.”

“I have been lucky to be part of Until Dawn since the original, incredible, super terrifying game, and that’s why I’m so excited to be part of this film, because the whole thing is a love letter to horror, and it completely honors the spirit of the game,” Stormare said in a statement. “The movie is going to be full of fresh characters and victims in a brand-new story, loaded with twists. So whether you’re a longtime fan or you’re discovering it for the first time, get ready for Until Dawn like you’ve never seen it before.”

“If you’ve played the game, you know not everything is what it seems. With the movie we wanted to keep the audience guessing until the end. We can’t wait for fans to discover how the events of the movie connect to the Until Dawn game,” Asad Qizilbash, Head of PlayStation Productions, wrote in a blog post.
