Choose or Die: A Darker Jumanji Features Asa Butterfield and Iola Evans in a Deadly Survival Horror Game &#8211; Check Release Date, Cast, Synopsis, Trailer, and More

Netflix’s marketing pitch for Asa Butterfield’s new movie, Choose or Die is
accurate. The trailer does look like it will appeal to fans of Alice in
Borderland, Squid Game, and even Black Mirror. It features a horrific game and
the trailer sets up a bleak ending for our two protagonists. The subgenre of
survival horror reached new heights after Squid Game debuted on the platform,
and it would be stupid of Netflix not to commission survival horror projects
now. The premise may also remind you of Robin Williams’ classic, Jumanji, except
that this is darker and not at all kid-friendly!

ASA BUTTERFIELD AND LOLA EVANS RISK DEATH AND HORRIFYING CHOICES IN CHOOSE OR
DIE

The chilly trailer opens with the line, “reality is cursed”. The first “worthy
gamer” fails to make a choice and dies. Cut to the next scene, Kayla is fired
from her job. She has an ailing mother to look after but she’s penniless. To
make matters worse, she hasn’t paid her rent in months and receives an eviction
notice. Desperate, she comes across a retro video game, Curser.

The game promises a cash prize of $125,000. That much money would solve all of
her problems and Kayla is tempted to play the game. But unknown to her she
unleashes a new horror. The game forces her to make terrible choices or risk
dying. Appalling choices like making a waitress eat up the glass shards to clean
it up. A terrified Lola tries to shut her laptop and end the game
unsuccessfully. What’s worse is that she and her boyfriend, Isaac, realize the
game can bend reality.

Netflix’s official synopsis [https://www.netflix.com/in/title/81488262]: 

“Tempted by a chance to win unclaimed prize money, two friends reboot a
mysterious 1980s video game and step into a surreal world of next-level terror.”


WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE ON NETFLIX?

Choose or Die previously named CURSER marks Toby Meakins’ feature film debut.
The retro horror game movie stars Sex Education star Asa Butterfield and Lola
Evans in the lead. Other cast members include Eddie Marsan, Robert Englund, and
Kate Fleetwood. The supernatural thriller will drop on Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] on April 25, 2022.
