The PlayStation favorite will haunt big screens this spring.

Sony Pictures/Screen Gems releases UNTIL DAWN exclusively to theaters April 25. Based on the hit video game written by Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, it was directed by David F. Sandberg (LIGHTS OUT, ANNABELLE: CREATION) from a script by Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman (IT), and stars Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’Zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Maia Mitchell and Peter Stormare. The synopsis: “One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover [Rubin] and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again–only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.”
