| 0:21.1 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Slash Film Daily. Today is Thursday, April 24th, 2025. On today's episode of the show, we're going to be talking about the new horror movie until dawn, and we will present an interview with director David F. Sandberg and screenwriter, Gary Doberman. My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at Slashfilm.com, and I'm joined on today's episode by Slash Film staff writer Bill Brea. Hello, hello. All right, Bill, I want to mention right at the top that we're going to try to keep this |
| 0:25.0 | conversation spoiler-free, since most people will have a chance to see the movie starting |
| 0:28.8 | tonight. |
| 0:30.2 | Sure, sure. |
| 0:31.2 | Before we get to the movie, you and I had the chance to see this movie together at a screening |
| 0:35.2 | where I met you in person for the first time. |
| 0:37.2 | Yeah, that was great. |
| 0:38.6 | Yeah, and neither of us knew the other person was going to be there. So it was like a really |
| 0:41.5 | fun surprise. We hung out a little bit and we talked a little bit before the film started. |

| 0:59.9 | this movie. Sure. Well, yeah, until dawn, the game was, they call it an interactive drama, |
| 1:06.2 | survival horror game, which is a lot of adjectives. I thought of it when it first came out in 2015 as an |
| 1:13.2 | extension of what used to be called the quote-unquote interactive movie game. If anyone is old |
| 1:20.0 | enough as I am and other listeners might be to remember the days of PC gaming. I think a couple |
| 1:26.2 | of these made their way onto consoles, but not many. |
| 1:28.0 | It was mostly on the PC in the 90s. |
| 1:30.0 | You had games like the Wing Commander series, which was a space combat game, but had, you |
| 1:34.3 | know, fully fledged cutscenes in between that were filmed on a cheap set with actors like |
| 1:40.5 | Mark Hamill and John Rees Davies and other people. |
| 1:44.1 | You had the game Ripper with Christopher Walken, |
