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?
An inventive but ultimately disappointing horror movie. Choose Or Die has some nice moments and the final third is better than what has come before but it is choppy in places and never really gels. A smart little voice cameo from Robert Englund and Iola Evans & Asa Butterfield are likeable enough leads but the movie just feels rushed. Could have been so much better.
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.

Quirky, yes, Original, it had some moments, good..... I'm not too sure on that one, it had some elements that were good, but far too many eye rolling moments, too many things that just didn't hang together.
The acting was alright, Eddie Marsan was good as always, but efforts to make us think the characters were American, and in The US, just fell flat. Had they spoken naturally, and just set it in The UK, it may have worked better.
The behaviour of the characters was just somehow really odd, hard to imagine anyone having such bizarre experiences, and carrying on normally.
Favourite scenes, the cafe scene was bonkers, but worked well, the part with the rat in the house also good.
Odd, not terrible, but should have been so much better.
5/10.

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.
