  • From Game to Screen: Peter Stormare’s Chilling Role Reimagined in “Until Dawn”

    From Game to Screen: Peter Stormare’s Chilling Role Reimagined in “Until Dawn”

    A Game-Changing Return: Stormare Haunts the Big Screen Once More

    Hold on to your nerves—Peter Stormare is back to send shivers down your spine! Known for his iconic portrayal of Dr. Hill in the acclaimed “Until Dawn” video game, Stormare now steps into a live-action role that blurs the line between reality and nightmare. This time, he’s not just a familiar face—he’s a key to the mystery.

    Stormare2

    In Until Dawn, a tight-knit group of friends sets out on a suspense-filled road trip to uncover the fate of Melanie (Maia Mitchell), who vanished under sinister circumstances. Their search leads them deep into an eerie valley, where a cryptic gas station attendant (Stormare) steers them toward their fate.

    The Man Behind the Curtain: Stormare’s Character Redefined

    “Initially, we really don’t know who or what he is,” Stormare elaborates. “But it is really rewarding to embody a character that you can’t nail down 100 percent. He’s both legendary and non-traditional. I was super excited to embody the character because it’s one of the coolest I’ve ever done.”

    Director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation) expands on this mystery. “We’ll learn more about who he really is. It’s great to have that connection to the game, and it was a joy to work with Peter, as well,” he says.

    Master of Ceremonies or Puppet Master? You Decide

    According to writer-producer Gary Dauberman, Stormare’s character serves as a kind of twisted narrator. “He’s the “master of ceremonies who escorts us through the story. He’s also the man behind the curtain, who knows everything that’s happening, or going to happen.”

    Producer Lotta Losten dubs him the “puppet master” of the valley’s nightmarish realm, and applauds Stormare’s delightfully creepy portrayal. “[Stormare] has this way of playing creepy that is just delightful. When, as Hill, he smiles, his cheeks make a little clicky sound. Normally, in post-production, you remove those kinds of sounds because they’re a distraction, but we tuned that up because it makes the character even better.”

    Welcome to the Valley—Where Time Rewinds and Terror Reigns

    The film’s plot is a chilling loop of survival. One year after Melanie’s disappearance, her sister Clover (Ella Rubin) and their friends venture to the remote valley where she was last seen. There, they uncover an abandoned visitor center—and become prey to a mysterious masked killer.

    But death isn’t the end. Each time they’re slain, they wake up at the start of the same cursed evening. With every cycle, the killer evolves, growing more grotesque and lethal. And the group soon realizes—they only have a few chances left to make it to morning.

  • Caught in a Real-Life Horror Loop: “Until Dawn” Cast Pranked at WonderCon 2025

    Caught in a Real-Life Horror Loop: “Until Dawn” Cast Pranked at WonderCon 2025

    From Silver Screen Screams to Convention Pranks

    What started as a routine press tour turned into a twisted timeloop of terrors for the cast of Until Dawn. During their visit to WonderCon 2025, the stars thought they were in for a day of fan meet-and-greets and media interviews. What they didn’t expect? A relentless barrage of jumpscares designed to test their scream stamina—live and unscripted.

    Meet the Haunted, Hilarious Cast

    Stars Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion, Ji-young Yoo, and Belmont Cameli, alongside producer-director David F. Sandberg, producer-writer Gary Dauberman, and producer Carter Swan, were the unsuspecting victims of these eerie antics. Their shocked faces? Absolutely priceless.

    Watch the full scare-prank video here:

    On-Screen Horror Meets Real Emotion

    Despite the gags and giggles, Until Dawn is a gripping tale of survival. Ella Rubin, who plays Clover, describes her experience as exhilarating:

    “Until Dawn gave me the opportunity to keep pushing, rather than pulling back. That was exciting and kind of delicious. There’s no way to rein it in when your character is constantly in a life and death situation, and you’re literally being chased by a monster with an axe!”

    Michael Cimino, portraying Clover’s ex, Max, adds a layer of depth to the horror:

    “I love that every character, after each night, is changing a bit and revealing more of themselves. Every character is on an admittedly scary path of self-discovery,”

    UDMichaelCimino EllaRubin 1

    Ji-young Yoo, as Megan, offers a spiritual slant:

    “Megan is a strong believer in the supernatural. She thinks that the trip is going to help them all lock into some kind of energy from the missing Melanie. That will help them all close out this chapter in their lives.”

    And Belmont Cameli? He’s more the outsider in the group, playing the snarky but observant Abe:

    “Abe is definitely on the group’s periphery,” says Cameli, who takes on the role. “He’s also a bit of a know-it-all and smartass. I also enjoyed that Abe is on the outside of this inner circle of friends and playing that dynamic with the rest of the cast.”

    At the Heart of It All: Friendship and Fear

    At the center of this nightmarish narrative is Clover. Writer Gary Dauberman shares,

    “Clover is the anchor of the movie. She’s the reason the friends come together and undertake this journey. They rally around Clover and want to give her closure to the disappearance of her sister, in the hopes of finding their friend, again,”

  • “Until Dawn” Film Adaptation Brings Nightmarish Creativity to Life Through a Deadly Time Loop

    “Until Dawn” Film Adaptation Brings Nightmarish Creativity to Life Through a Deadly Time Loop

    Fans of horror, brace yourselves!

    From the twisted minds of David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation) and Gary Dauberman (It, Annabelle, The Nun) comes a terrifying new take on horror storytelling: Until Dawn. Based on the beloved PlayStation video game, this upcoming film takes a familiar yet fearsome concept—a group of teens trapped in a slasher scenario—and cranks it up to spine-chilling extremes through a deadly time loop.

    UDMichaelCimino EllaRubin
    Michael Cimino and Ella Rubin

    “Every Night, a New Nightmare”

    As an ode to the original game and the horror genre as a whole, Sandberg and Dauberman embraced the movie’s looping narrative as a chance to flex their creative muscles.

    “Every night, the story resets, taking us into a new horror genre,” Sandberg elaborates. “As a lifelong horror fan, it was a dream come true to work in all these subgenres. Every night the characters undergo what feels like a new chapter in a different story.”

    The film stars Ella Rubin as Clover, who, along with her friends, returns to a remote mountain site in search of her missing sister Melanie, played by Maia Mitchell. Their search spirals into blood-curdling chaos as they’re murdered one by one inside an eerie, abandoned visitor center—only to wake up and do it all over again.

    “Let’s Just Kill Him.”

    The freedom of the time loop gave the creators an opportunity to experiment. For Dauberman, the real thrill was in the chaos.

    “Until Dawn let us have the fun of killing off our characters in wild, unpredictable ways,” he laughs. “It was both a challenge and tremendous fun because we had the freedom to say, ‘Yeah, f*** it, let’s just kill him.’”

    That playful horror energy carries over into every frame, making each death unique—and each rebirth a countdown to terror.

    Familiar, Yet Totally Unpredictable

    Genre fans and gamers alike will love the film’s love-letter approach. With easter eggs scattered throughout, there’s plenty for loyal Until Dawn players to spot, while new viewers will still be gripped by the suspense and action.

    Asad Qizilbash, producer and Head of PlayStation Productions, couldn’t be happier.

    “PlayStation Productions serves as a vessel for top creators to translate their passion for gaming into compelling narratives across various media. Being fans of the game themselves, David, Gary and their cast and crew have worked closely with our team at PlayStation Productions to make sure the film captured what fans love most about the Until Dawn world. And while you don’t need to have played the game to enjoy the movie’s twists and turns, there’s a good chance that fans will spot some cool references to the original story,” Qizibash says.

    The Ultimate Horror Mashup

    Caught in an endless cycle of terror, the only way out is to survive until dawn. But with each reset, the killer changes—and the clock is ticking.

    The cast includes rising stars Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli and legendary actor Peter Stormare, in a twisted tale where each death counts—literally.
