While the cross bears Beth’s name in the game, the one in the film bears no name.
This raises questions about whether this plot of land was originally supposed to be someone’s final resting place.
While they don’t find Melanie there, another person of interest is name-dropped in this scene.
The latter possesses Clover by putting an oxygen mask over her face, forcing her to kill Max.
In the video game, the Mystery Man uses gas to render his targets unconscious.
The possessed Clover even dons a mask like the Mystery Man.
In the movie’s haunted house, an hourglass with a skull decoration is mounted on the wall.
These posters present all the people whose lives were claimed by the entity tormenting Clover and her friends.
These posters are an expansion of the missing posters of Hannah and Beth found in the video game.
Among the people on missing posters is a miner, referencing the mining collapse explored later in the story.
Despite its differences from the game, theUntil Dawnfilm depicts the Wendigos in their haunting original design.
Peter Stormare, who portrayed the characterDr.
