Escolha ou Morra

It's one of those movies that falls into the mediocracy area pretty quickly. The acting is ok (Eddie Marsan is the stand-out as always) but the plot is just tired, old and predictable.

It's not a movie I'd explicitly pay to watch but if it appears on your favorite streaming service(s) give it a watch while you do something else.

I had high expectations for this, figured an 85 minute movie about an interactive video game would be engaging enough. Honestly could have been a 20 minute short story. While the acting was good and there were a few jump scares, the explanation of the game's cryptic symbols and how the cursed players are selected was lacking in my view. This was a downer overall.

It's a decent story... entertaining. No deep character development or psychological breakthroughs but a mediocre work of entertainment. You'll find it more enjoyable if you have an interest in this genre.

An inventive but ultimately disappointing horror movie. Choose Or Die has some nice moments and the final third is better than what has come before but it is choppy in places and never really gels. A smart little voice cameo from Robert Englund and Iola Evans & Asa Butterfield are likeable enough leads but the movie just feels rushed. Could have been so much better.

Quirky, yes, Original, it had some moments, good..... I'm not too sure on that one, it had some elements that were good, but far too many eye rolling moments, too many things that just didn't hang together.

The acting was alright, Eddie Marsan was good as always, but efforts to make us think the characters were American, and in The US, just fell flat. Had they spoken naturally, and just set it in The UK, it may have worked better.

The behaviour of the characters was just somehow really odd, hard to imagine anyone having such bizarre experiences, and carrying on normally.

Favourite scenes, the cafe scene was bonkers, but worked well, the part with the rat in the house also good.

Odd, not terrible, but should have been so much better.

5/10.
