Is Until Dawn a Good Horror Movie? | Game Design Critique
Description:

There's a nasty conflict at the beating heart of Supermassive's interactive horror flick Until Dawn. Let's tear it out, and tear it down.

(Note: this video contains some light spoilers for Until Dawn, but largely the consequences to choices which may never happen in your game. Also has spoilers for the movie Halloween, and plenty of graphic violence).
