Choose or Die is yet another horror entry that is coming to the streaming giant – Netflix. Of course, we are well aware that the streaming giant has a lot of variety in this genre, from horror films fit for children to eerier ones that can make even the oldest ones wet their pants 😵 yikes!
A coder with a dark streak takes a quest for money in this Simon Allen film (The Watch). Video games are a staple on Netflix. The Squid Game, a major hit last year, is proof of that. Despite not having deadly games for children as its horrific conceit. It’s a survival horror that will test the mettle of the coder at the center of the plot.
Having released the date and synopsis of the film, here’s all that we know so far! So please read on to know all about it.
Choose or Die Plot: All the Information
Based on the plot synopsis, the story involves Kayla (Iola Evans), a broke college student. She’s playing an old computer game in order to earn the unclaimed prize money that comes from completing the game. Kayla thinks playing the game will be easy, but she doesn’t realize the curse she has unleashed.
Based on the trailer, Kayla appears to have lost her job, someone close to her is being evicted, and she doesn’t know what else to do. In order to get her finances under control, she discovers that there is a $125,000 cash prize attached to the old video game CURS>R (pronounced Curser), which has never been claimed. However, the game seems to be affecting Kayla’s reality in strange and even dangerous ways. This leaves her questioning whether the money is worth the damage she must cause to win it.
Well, this is the plot twist. In the trailer, it’s clear that Kayla is advancing through the game despite seeing the consequences of her actions. An individual explains how the game works on a tape, telling a viewer that “the more the cursed suffers, the more the curser benefits.” Een though it is unclear whether he means the player or the game itself.
The individual is either the creator of the game, a victim of its reality, or someone collecting research on it? We also see an older man playing the game. And he seems to be struggling with the decisions he has to make. Was he someone who tried to claim the prize before Kayla, or is he someone who is trying alongside her? We don’t know anything else, either!
The movie is soo intense we can’t wait to watch it, so we know how it unfolds 😱!
