I've seen the video game... this is nothing like the video game...
With her sister gone missing, Clover and her friends go to Glore Valley to find her... and instead find death. More than once. Because when they die, they come back to life. To survive the night, they need to survive... until dawn!
While this has definite nods to the game, this is nothing like it. The game is all about Wendigos, this movie just has it as a minor monster. The game has the clown faced killer as a stalking menace, this movie has that as just one of many killers. The game has Peter Stomare as a over the top doctor... this movie does get that right.
We have Ella Rubin as the main girl, Odessa A'zlon I recognised from Ghosts, and Ji-young Yoo stood as the token Asian... but I could not tell you the difference between the two guys. The killers are decent enough, but aren't really on screen long enough to stand out as more than momentary jump scares.
The video game had a strong enough story, and plenty of characters. This pares down the number of characters... and the idea of a story. It's rather weak, because of that. Feel free to skip.
