Director: David F. Sandberg

Cast: Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A'zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli

Until Dawn is a 2025 American horror film directed by David F. Sandberg, based on the acclaimed survival-horror video game of the same name. The film follows a group of young people trapped in a relentless time loop inside a remote mountain location, hunted by terrifying forces they cannot outrun or outlast — unless they survive until daybreak.

What is Until Dawn about?

Six friends arrive at an isolated wilderness canyon searching for clues about a young woman who vanished there a year earlier. What begins as a tense search quickly unravels into something far worse: each time one of them is killed, the entire group snaps back to the start of the night, memories intact but bodies fresh. The threat multiplies with every reset — familiar monsters, familiar traps, and a mounting sense that the loop itself may have rules they have not yet discovered. With each cycle, the survivors must piece together what is really happening before time literally runs out.

Cast & crew

Director David F. Sandberg, known for Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, brings practiced genre craft to the material. Lead Ella Rubin anchors the emotional core, joined by Michael Cimino, Odessa A'zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, and Maia Mitchell as the group of friends caught in the loop. Character actor Peter Stormare and Zsófia Temesvári round out a cast that keeps the tension grounded even as the horror escalates.

Context & significance

Persian-speaking horror fans in the diaspora will find Until Dawn a rewarding watch — the time-loop structure, familiar from titles like Happy Death Day, layers puzzle-solving onto slasher thrills, a combination that travels well across cultures. The film is available with a full Persian DUB and Persian SUBTITLES on K-Time, meaning viewers who prefer Farsi audio can follow every twist without missing a beat. For fans of atmospheric horror, creature-feature tension, and group-survival dynamics, this 2025 release sits squarely in the tradition of studio horror that delivers spectacle alongside genuine unease.
