Choose or Die (formerly titled CURS>R)[1] is a 2022 English horror thriller film directed by Toby Meakins in his feature directorial debut.
Attracted by the offer, Kayla accepts the challenge, thinking it will be easy money, and arranges a deal with Isaac to share the prize.
Kayla discovers that CURS>R has managed to escape to the net and is following her, forcing her to choose ways to save her mother from a giant rat.
When they discover the code needed, the game traps Isaac and forces Kayla to choose in order to save him, but ends up killing him.
The game orders Kayla to "beat the boss" and gives her a set of coordinates to follow that lead her to Hal's house, now a cruel man who tortures Laura and Gabe.
The website's consensus reads: "Flickers of frightening promise are muffled by an excessively franchise-focused story in Choose or Die, with frustratingly forgettable results.
"[12] Josh Bell of Comic Book Resources gave the film a negative review, calling it "a disposable, forgettable modern horror movie that lacks the creativity and ingenuity of its rudimentary text-based inspirations.
"[14] Adam Graham of The Detroit News graded the film a "D" and called it a "cheap horror exercise that's forgotten before the end credits roll.
[16] Ryan Leston of IGN gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "But beneath this terror-filled glimpse of the '80s lies not much more than a bog-standard horror flick.
The scares are soon replaced with a meandering plot that doesn't quite know what it's doing, held together with obscure twists that would only make sense in a low-budget retro text adventure.
