The game “Until Dawn” (2015) follows eight adults trapped on Blackwood Mountain, where they are stalked by mysterious monsters and a sadistic serial killer. “Until Dawn” (2025), its film adaptation, follows five similarly situated individuals, albeit now in a time loop. This switch in style is jarring but justified.

Most reactions were of revulsion, as while people recognized that the film was legally permissible, they found the choice to be in poor taste. After all, there are infinite options to choose for the big bad of your low-budget slasher. Why choose a beloved children’s character? Despite the outcry, or perhaps because of it, “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” pulled in a solid $7.7 million around the world.

From Mar. 27 to Mar. 30, Duke Players — a club affiliated with the Department of Theater Studies — put on Dance Nation in Brody Theater. The play was a powerful examination of the trials and tribulations of young adulthood and the equally divisive and supportive nature of competition. Dance Nation follows a group of dancers — the play even includes several dances choreographed by Trinity junior Caroline Edmonson (who did double duty as director) — in their early teens.
