Critics Consensus

Flickers of frightening promise are muffled by an excessively franchise-focused story in Choose or Die, with frustratingly forgettable results.

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.

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+

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.

A reminder of some great (and some very bad) movies of a decade ago, this one fails to meet any sort of expectations and adds poor Asa Butterfield in the mix for no good reason.

Rated: 1/5

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

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

Regardless of everyone else and the 31% I thought this was a great concept! And also Liam Hewlett on music, where do you go wrong... sorry?! Only thing that annoyed me was English actors, filmed in London, but American setting...

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Has the elements to be a great movie but falls just short of great. Solid movie and enjoyed watching it.

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.
