If the Until Dawn video game was a love letter to Saw and The Cabin in the Woods, Sony's upcoming adaptation is more The Descent meets Evil Dead II. For a minute there, though, it was a little too comedy-leaning, says director David F. Sandberg.
"I have a tendency to do that because I love horror movies that have fun," the filmmaker tells GamesRadar+, when we mention being surprised at how much humor there is in the movie. "I mean, we even had to take it back in some scenes where it was like, 'Well, maybe it needs to be a little bit more serious here to feel the weight of it all.' But I just love making that kind of movie, because it's so satisfying when you see it with an audience and you get those reactions and the laughter and feel the shock, you know?"
