Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Screenwriter Simon Allen and director Toby Meakins have come up with a genuinely clever concept that could be repeatable in multiple sequels — provided that the first wave of Netflix viewers aren’t too put off by the film’s many gross-out moments. Apr 17, 2022 Full Review Jude Dry indieWire Choose or Die is a perfect entry point into genre for younger viewers, one that will also satisfy old school diehards even as it takes some pointed (perhaps deserved?) jabs at them. Rated: B+ Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Robert Daniels Polygon Meakins Choose or Die could easily be the next grimly fun horror franchise... but the quest for deeper meaning feels strained and overreaching, and it overwhelms the adventurous spirit of the films first half. Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez Loud and Clear Reviews Choose or Die has some interesting concepts about shifting realities and some 80s nostalgia, but it never succumbs to its true potential due to an unsightly approach by director Toby Meakins. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 24, 2024 Full Review Kenneth Seward Jr. GameSpot Netflix’s Choose or Die is a solid thriller. It isn’t meant to be terribly scary--don’t expect a ton of jump scares or gory deaths--as the focus is aimed at presenting a bad and sometimes unsettling situation in an interesting way. Rated: 7/10 Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET This Netflix horror featuring a cursed video game has enough going for it to keep you playing on. Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Abby N I am one strong headed person, i’m the type of person that likes to see before believing, i and i learnt the hard way.What I am trying to say is my journey of investing in a wrong bitcoin platform even after warnings from my mom not to do so, I still went ahead to invest, that was how i lost a whopping sum of 350,000$, whoa!  I was almost dead, words can not describe how I felt when I realised my money had gone to those rippers.But one thing i have come to understand, whatever has a fake must also have an original, even though not everyone that claimed they recovered their bitcoin actually got their coins back,yet some might actually be telling the truth  and i am one of those that is telling the truth,because I was also a critic of bitcoin Recovery until i experience it first hand. It’s a long story but after searching for ways to recover my stolen bitcoin it was a dead end . By October I was referred to one  of the best of best. Here is their email address just in case you find yourself in my situation. Hacking hackerrone90  Gmail Dot Com.  Highly Recommended!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Elizabeth D The plot was horrible. Acting was pretty good which is the only thing that saved that movie from being unwatchable. I think it could have been really good but just missed the mark. I would recommend skipping it, but up to you. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Seb D Nice concept but done poorly. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Rob x It's really good, I'm satisfied Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Jeff M Here we have yet another example of a thriller with a very nifty and potentially interesting premise that can't decide what to do with it. The set-up to this movie is quite strong and intriguing, especially for those of us who grew up with video games in the 80s. I remember specifically playing a similar choose-your-own-adventure type of game as CURS>R at my cousins' house during a family reunion. The concept is cool, but I could tell even before the halfway mark that the filmmakers had no idea what path to take. Blood and gore here are thankfully limited with a couple exceptions, particularly a scene toward the end involving hypodermic needles. Evans is a game protagonist, and if anyone ever makes a movie about Jimmy Fallon, they must cast Butterfield. The ending is an absolutely shameless open door for a sequel or series of sequels. By the one hour mark, I was so weary of trying to make sense of what was going on, that I felt exhausted. Tone and atmosphere are strong, but the finished product is yet another wasted opportunity. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Michelle G Exciting concept, good acting. Scary and somewhat unpredictable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
