“I don't see how a video game can kill someone,” says in the trailer for Choose or Die (formerly called Curs>R), asks the character of Asa Butterfield (Sex Education). Given that the voice of Robert Englund (yes, Freddy Krueger himself from the Nightmare saga) is heard in the clip, it is possible that soon poor Isaac will understand in detail the many ways in which a video game can kill someone. That is the idea of this British horror film that Netflix will release on April 15.
This is a survival game from the 1980s, which Kayla, the character of Iola Evans (The 100) begins to play. She's dropped out of college, just lost her job, she's about to be evicted from her home. And Isaac tells him about the many old video game awards that were left unawarded. In the case of Curs>r, USD 125,000 which could solve more than one problem for you.
However, it will create others for you. The game can control reality and twist it, and soon Kayla is playing for her life, not for money. He has to make appalling decisions that lead to intolerable results. But either choose or die, as indicated by the title of the Toby Meakins film written by Simon Allen.
Isaac, a friend of the girl, also understands that she has opened a Black Mirror version of Hell's Gate, and that the curse that has fallen on Kayla will have deadly consequences for the entire city.
The retro screens, with their green glow, unleash screams, blood and a lot of psychological terror. In the wake of destruction is the rest of the cast: Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes), Angela Griffin (White Lines), Kate Fleetwood (Star Wars: Episode VII), Ryan Gage (The Hobbit) and Joe Bolland (The Trial of Christine Keeler).
Choose or Die, which with its former title was originally developed with Ridley Scott as a limited series, is produced by Sebastien Raybaud and John Zois by Anton and Matthew James Wilkinson for Stigma Films, with Simon Allen, Liza Glucoft, Nick Angel and Holly Hubsher as executive producers.
