'Choose or Die' review: No good choices in retro-gaming horror movie

A cheapo horror exercise that's forgotten before the end credits roll, "Choose or Die" is centered on a cursed retro video game that presents its users with a deadly set of options.

They're forced to choose between something bad happening to someone else or they themselves can die. Hmm, is there a third option? How about popping out the game and blowing on the cartridge, because this baby needs a reset.

Asa Butterfield ("Hugo") is Isaac, an '80s obsessive who declares the days of Ronald Reagan and Freddy Krueger "the greatest decade in pop culture history." His friend Kayla (Iola Evans), on whom he harbors a healthy crush, finds an old computer game named "Curs>r" in a pile of his junk and decides to give it a go.
