Choose or Die
Sometimes a curse can be a gift.
Directed by Toby Meakins
Produced by Anton, Stigma Films
A tech-noir horror thriller that weaponizes a cursed 1980s video game to trap a desperate protagonist in escalating supernatural peril.
In pursuit of an unclaimed $125,000 prize, a broke college dropout decides to play an obscure, 1980s survival computer game. But the game curses her, and she’s faced with dangerous choices and reality-warping challenges. After a series of unexpectedly terrifying moments, she realizes she’s no longer playing for the money but for her life.
