Until Dawn

2025 · dir. David F. Sandberg

What they share

Both films are directed by David F. Sandberg, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lights Out, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Until Dawn is

Mountain valley, summer evening, a crunching gravel path. A group of friends trapped in a loop of murder and rebirth. Sandberg makes the slasher formula feel freshly menacing.
