‘Dead By Daylight’ Movie Gets Promising Update From Blumhouse Vice President

He Dead by daylight The film gets an upbeat update from Blumhouse VP Ryan Turek. The multiplayer horror video game was first released for Windows in 2016 and centers on four players who must fight for survival against a ruthless killer, also controlled by a player. He Dead by daylight The film was first announced by Blumhouse in March 2023.

To talk with ColliderTurek shares a promising update on the Dead by daylight Movie. As an avid player of the game, Turek states that he watches the movie “as a celebration of the horror that is the video game itself.” His full quote can be found below:

I will say one of the projects I’m working on is that Dead by daylight, the video game adaptation of a game that has been around for about seven years. To me, it’s a tribute to the horror that is the video game itself. What have we learned from this? Five nights at Freddy’s Of course, it’s about appealing to fans and adapting the video game to the fans. I am a giant Dead by daylight Fan. I’ve played it, although I prefer newer games Alan Wake2and I said, “Let me play a little.” Alan Wake2 tonight… Um, I’m going in Dead by daylight and play the killer tonight. I’m very excited about this and we’re thinking creatively about what the path to get there will look like.

Could Dead By Daylight be Blumhouse’s next big hit?

Dead by daylight is in some ways a surprising choice for a Blumhouse film adaptation. As the game’s popularity grew, later versions evolved from generic characters imitating horror movie villains to licensed versions of those characters, such as Leatherface and Michael Myers. That is, Dead by daylight is a common tribute to horror films, and making it a horror film gives you the form it aspires to.

As Turek mentions, Dead by daylight comes immediately after 2023 Five nights at Freddy’s‘Yes Movie. although Five nights at Freddy’s was critically panned, it was a commercial success, grossing $295 million worldwide. This result proves that Turek is right when he says that Blumhouse “Create a video game adaptation for fans”And that there is a large fan base for the horror video game subgenre. The success of Five nights at Freddy’s suggests Dead by daylight could provoke a similar reaction, and Blumhouse’s collection of horror properties could allow for the appearance of several iconic characters.

Turek’s enthusiasm for Dead by daylight This in itself is good news for adaptation. Blumhouse has an extensive list of films coming out in 2024, including a January premiere. Night swimming, Imaginary, Don’t say bad thingsAND werewolf. Hopefully Blumhouse can achieve this with Turek’s help Dead by daylight a priority among his many productions.
