Blumhouse and James Wan bringing ‘Dead by Daylight’ to the big screen
It’s official: Dead By Daylight is getting a feature-film adaptation. The 2016 title from Behaviour Interactive is a multiplayer survival horror game in which four characters — known as Survivors — attempt to fix five generators scattered around various maps while eluding the clutches of the Killer. All characters are chosen from a lineup of different individuals — each with unique skillsets. During gameplay, the Killer attempts to injure Survivors and impale them on sacrificial hooks to appease the Entity, a malevolent force that traps both Killers and Survivors within the map during the “trial.” Meanwhile, Survivors must work together — healing, fixing, unhooking one another — to successfully repair all five generators and power the exit gates, then leave unscathed.
