Last July, we heard that the Netflix streaming service a sum in the high seven figures to acquire the worldwide distribution rights to a horror film called Curs>r, which stars Asa Butterfield (Hugo), Iola Evans (The 100), Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan), and genre icon / Freddy Krueger himself Robert Englund. Since then, Netflix has changed the title of Curs>r to Choose or Die and scheduled an April 15th global release for the film. With that release date just a couple weeks away, a trailer for Choose or Die has arrived online, and you can check that out in the embed above.

The story of Choose or Die centers on

a broke college dropout (Iola Evans) who decides to play an obscure, 1980s survival computer game in pursuit of an unclaimed $125,000 prize. 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.
