Elige o muere

Choose or Die is about an unemployed programmer struggling to get by while looking after her sick mother when her and her 1980s obsessed friend discover an unheard of 80s video game that is much more than it seems. One of those old green and black choose your adventure games becomes very real as its not just a game, the decisions made affect the real world, she must make a choice, or die. The girl has to keep playing while she also tries to discover the origins of the game and how to stop it.

Robert England only provides his voice to an answering machine and parts of the game, so don't expect to see him on screen.

Overall, compared to some reviews here, it's not a bad movie, but it's not one I'll ever check out again. It's not so much a nostalgic thing, melleniul or boring as some other reviews stated. It just is what it is. It's not really horror unless you have a fear of video games coming to life, it's more of a bit of a thriller and investigation with a few deaths along the way. It is what it is.

Like I said, it's pretty much just a one off viewing kinda thing, but certainly not a must see. You choose if you wanna see it? Either way, you won't die lol.

I'm confused. All the people in the movie with British accents but using US$ and the movie is based in New York state, USA.. LOL Whats so wrong if the director just made the move to be based in the UK?

I had high expectations for this, figured an 85 minute movie about an interactive video game would be engaging enough. Honestly could have been a 20 minute short story. While the acting was good and there were a few jump scares, the explanation of the game's cryptic symbols and how the cursed players are selected was lacking in my view. This was a downer overall.

I believe it would have been an interesting short film about retro game that takes over control and forces you to make awful choices.

However, the movie falls short with a regular length runtime and proves to be a drag devoid of any real excitement. As many before mentioned, it's just plain boring.

Leading duo does a decent job but underdeveloped script gives them little to work with.

Almost impossible to get through in one sitting.

Would have rather avoided it.

4 out of 10 from me.

It's a decent story... entertaining. No deep character development or psychological breakthroughs but a mediocre work of entertainment. You'll find it more enjoyable if you have an interest in this genre.
