‘Until Dawn’ Sure Has Some Nifty Box Art
Here’s the first look at what might be the official box art for Supermassive Games’ upcoming teen slasher Until Dawn. I say might because these images are for the European version of the game, so what we get here in the States could be different. That sort of thing happens all the time, and usually, us dumb Americans get the generic people-staring-solemnly-at-nothing version while everyone else gets something that’s worthy of being displayed on a bookshelf.
We also have a more complete rundown of the game’s impressive cast. Until Dawn stars Peter Stormare, Hayden Panettiere (Scream 4), Rami Malek (“Mr. Robot”), Brett Dalton (“Marvel’s Agents of Shield”), Nichole Bloom (Project X), Meaghan Martin, Galadriel Stineman, Jordan Fisher, Ella Lentini and Noah Fleiss.
Any box art that doesn’t get ruined by an overzealous PR team is worth celebrating, but it’s nice to see some though being put into what often serves as a game’s first impression. I’m particularly fond of this art because it implies that time is running out for those poor, unsuspecting teens.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
