Why is it being remade?
Of course, the newUntil Dawnremake isntentirelyunnecessary.
But in truth, theUntil Dawnremake exists because it has to for marketing synergy.
With greater accessibility, the better the odds of building a new fan base prior to the films release.
Does the remake deliver?
The remake remains a very effective horror experience.
Its story beats havent changed much, retaining the white-knuckle jump scares and looming dread of the original.
Players answers are directly used against them as punishment.
If you choose to hate spiders, a huge tarantula will crawl across the screen.
Disliking zombies, and Hills appearance will degrade into gore over time.
This combination meant that players were for better or worse at the helm of their own movie.

It wont just everyone, especially with a $70 price tag.
