Sex Education is one of the best Netflix original series of the past few years. Critics love it, as evidenced by its 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it’s one of the few recent originals that has lasted longer than three seasons. Asa Butterfield had already made a name for himself with starring roles in Ender’s Game and Hugo. But Sex Education was his breakout. And now, with season 4 of Sex Education about to start filming, Butterfield took some time to star in another Netflix project: The horror movie Choose or Die.
Choose or Die is now streaming on Netflix
Choose or Die on Netflix is the feature directorial debut of Toby Meakins, who has directed a number of short films since the early 2000s. Choose or Die centers on a down-and-out college student named Kayla (Iola Evans) who finds a forgotten 1980s computer game offering a big cash prize that was never claimed. Once she starts playing, she realizes the game affects the world around her in gruesome and terrifying ways. Suddenly, she’s no longer playing for a cash prize, but to avoid killing anyone else and escape with her own life.
