CHOOSE OR DIE MOVIE REVIEW

Directed by Toby Meakins and starring Iola Evans, Asa Butterfield, Eddie Marsan, and Robert Englund, this new horror film Choose Or Die is named after a phrase given to unwitting gamers, who try to play the 80’s game, CURS>R. The game (implied by its own title) basically curses the player into playing Would You Rather. Which basically means someone will probably die in a grotesque way. Listen, T.C., Ryan, Tessa, and Chad all watched this movie, and even they’re not clear on what the rules to CURS>R actually are. Here’s the plot to Choose Or Die: If you took the sharp end of The Ring and Saw(ed) Ronald Reagan in half, boom! You got yourself this here Netflix movie.

Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)

Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment. All the pain and suffering of this business is worth it, if even just one person views his work. Chad is a frequent podcaster, most notably posing as a co-host for the podcast “The Film Illogical Society.”
