First of all, I don't know the game, so I got no opinion on the matter if the movie adaption will satisfy or disappoint those who played and love the game.
The movie itself is a solid piece with some fun scenes of gory deaths but story-wise this little flick does just deliver a mash up of well known horror tropes. Anyway, cast and production are rock solid (the explosions are good fun), so if you want something in the wake of movies like Final Destination, Silent Hill, Haunter, Happy Death Day and all those zillion slasher movies, Until Dawn will provide some entertaining moments. But I'm pretty sure there is no reason for me to watch Until Dawn a second time. To sum it up: a solid horror ride.
Last note: the clock would make a nice piece of merch.

Ash is no new space horror classic, but it features some nice gory scenes-which, in my opinion, are the strongest suit of this little flick. The acting is solid, and the production is decent for a movie without a big budget.
The weakest part, in my view, is the rather predictable plot and the use of the retrospective storytelling technique. I would have preferred a straightforward, linear narrative in the style of Alien-simple and direct. That could have worked wonders for the story's pacing and overall dynamics.
Still, if you're in the mood for a flick reminiscent of Alien, Life, Event Horizon, and the like, this one might offer a few entertaining moments.
Rating: 4 + 1 for the gore factor only.

First of all, the idea sounds fun. Second, the execution sadly is not - although an episode just runs around 30 minutes per episode I felt quite bored sometimes. The reason for this state of boredom is easy to detect: too much of personal/family drama (and very mediocre dialogues) and the demon hunting felt sometimes just like background noise. Anyway, The Bondsman is okay if you are in need for some horror comedy, it got its moments. Last note: Ash vs. Evil Dead (some reviewer compare those shows) is the way way better show in all aspects (cast, action, gore, comedy, production etc.), so if you think you get something of the same level, you will be most certainly disappointed. Verdict: mediocre with some good moments here and there.
