This week’s film quiz should last you Until Dawn at least – 30 questions, some of them about movies set over one night.
With A Minecraft Movie still on the rampage in cinemas (literally in some cases), April’s other big video-game adaptation is Until Dawn, a horror movie in which staying alive for the night is trickier when the night keeps looping back to the beginning every time they’re killed. Nobody wants to get stuck in a time-loop movie quiz, but it’s got us thinking about movies that, unlike a certain Oscar-winning comedy with a misleading title, actually take place across one night.
Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. You have until dawn, but if you get any wrong, you can always loop back to the start…
