    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: A lively playfulness or almost touching delight that ultimately cannot help but be contagious.

    6 / 10

  • 3. Moviezine
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: I can't help but wonder how it would have looked if we had received the original story in our hands. Its exciting butterfly effect premise could certainly have found its place even in the somewhat more static world of film. Instead, the film adaptation of "Until Dawn" ends up in an ungrateful limbo where it doesn't quite fill the beloved game's big shoes, but where it also doesn't completely succeed in standing firmly on its own.

  • 4. Aftonbladet
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It never gets sufficiently fun or scary. And the six young people remain pale, mostly a group of anonymous victims.

  • 5. Cinetaste
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Director David F. Sandberg knows his horror genre well, and I think he performs at his best when he's simply allowed to have fun with it.

  • 6. Filmtopp
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Until Dawn" has from the start a playful, interesting concept and manages to frighten with its rhythmic and intense pace. However, it falls somewhat flat with a weak storyline and pale acting performances. The film is worth watching for those who enjoy horror – but doesn't offer much more.
    - Lukas Eriksson

    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Life is too short to waste on trash like "Until Dawn"

  • 8. Kulturbloggen
    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: No matter what happens, it is delivered with apathy, disgust, and disinterest. The film is also macabrely humorless. The only thing of value is the poetic parallel between the film's characters and the actual cinema audience; none of us can wait to escape from hell.
    - Elis Holmström

  • 9. SVT
    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: A new proof that horror doesn't need a big budget to work, just a good idea. Not fifty half-baked ones.
    - Kristoffer Viita
