‘Until Dawn’ Now Available on Digital; Watch the Alternate Opening Scene [Exclusive]

One month after the film arrived in theaters, David F. Sandberg’s big screen adaptation of the video game Until Dawn is now available on Digital outlets at home from Sony.

You can rent Until Dawn on Digital for $19.99 or purchase the film for $24.99.

To whet your appetite, Sony has provided Bloody Disgusting with an alternate opening scene from the Until Dawn movie, which provides an extended version of the demise of Melanie (Maia Mitchell). It’s Melanie’s disappearance in the recent past that kickstarts the present day events of the film, and this extended cut makes it clear that she’s met a grisly end.

From director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle Creation, Shazam) and writer Gary Dauberman (It, The Nun), Until Dawn made just under $50 million at the box office.

“One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening.

“Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again – only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last.

“Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.”

The video game adaptation’s cast includes Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Michael Cimino (“Never Have I Ever”), Ji-young Yoo (“Expats”), Odessa A’zion (Hulu’s Hellraiser), Peter Stormare (Clown, John Wick 2), Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli.

Blair Butler (The Invitation) wrote the original draft, and Gary Dauberman (Salem’s Lot) worked on the script. The film is said to be “an R-rated love letter to the horror genre.”
