Netflix has a lot of complicated shows that are hard to understand in a single watch. So a Choose or Die ending explained is necessary.

‘Choose or Die’ Ending EXPLAINED: Did Kayla Turn Evil? Who Actually Won the Game?

Netflix produces content ranging from easy mindless watches to ones that make
you think. Choose or Die falls into the latter category. The movie really
surprises and takes viewers aback, especially the film’s final act, which leaves
us with an intense mystery. So this is us helping you. Take a look at our Choose
or Die ending explained as we try to answer some of the biggest questions that
the movie raised.

But before we try to answer your questions. Let us take a look at the key plot
points from the film.


WHAT IS CHOOSE OR DIE ABOUT?

We meet Kayla (Iola Evans) in the film, a young programmer whose life isn’t
going so well. Kayla works as a cleaner in a mystery office that is apparently
occupied by a local company named Kismet, but no one has been there in a long
time. Kayla’s brother drowned in a neighborhood pool lately, and her mother
isn’t happy about it.

Kayla has only a single friend in the whole world Isaac (Sex Education
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sex-education/]’s Asa Butterfield). The film
takes a dark turn when she discovers a copy of the text-based video game CURS>R,
which offers a large prize to whoever completes it, thanks to Isaac. Even though
the game appears to have been released decades ago, the phone line available to
gamers who are curious about the big prize remains open, and Kayla is soon drawn
into a disturbing world where the game forces her to choose how to make others
suffer, with no choice but to complete CURS>R.

Now that we have brushed up on the film’s crucial details. Let us try to figure
out what happened at the end of this twisted climax.


CHOOSE OR DIE ENDING EXPLAINED


WHO WINS?

In the climax of the film, we stumble upon the boss battle between Kayla and
Hal. Hal’s wife uses the chance to try to put a stop to his reign of terror by
shooting Kayla. But it isn’t enough, and Hal plays with Kayla by slicing his
face before cutting his own neck.

On the other hand, Kayla survives the wound and drowns herself in Hal’s pool
while her throat is bleeding, thereby drowning Hal. Kayla emerges victorious in
the game, and Hal is finally dead.

But after winning the game, Kayla takes a darker turn.


DID KAYLA TURN BAD?

Kayla harnesses the curse symbols for herself, using her coding skills and
information from Beck’s CURS>R beta test videotape. By altering reality, she is
able to compel drug dealer Lance (Ryan Gage) to murder himself with needles at
the apartment complex.

After Lance is killed, Kayla rationalizes the act by claiming that sacrificing
Lance freed her mother from his grip. This is a call back to Beck’s unsettling
assertion that the curse might be a blessing.

Finally, as the movie begins to roll credits, Kayla gets a phone call from an
old Beck working for Kismet. Remember the company employing her as the cleaner?
Beck congratulates Kayla for beating the game. He says, “Yet somehow you managed
to beat my game.”

After this, Beck asks a simple question to Kayla “Who will suffer next?” and she
replies in a chilling tone saying, “Only people who deserve it.”

Kayla now appears to be planning to utilize the curse to kill evil men like
Lance via mobile phones, utilizing the curse’s outdated tech and symbol command
prompts.

It is a nice nod to a sequel or a spin-off for the film. Let us know if you
liked the film or not?
