Choose Or Die Beats Stranger Things To Its Robert Englund Casting Trick
Warning: contains SPOILERS for Choose or Die.
Netflix's video-game horror Choose or Die provides a Robert Englund voice cameo, beating Stranger Things on its casting trick. Choose or Die is director Toby Meakins' feature-length debut and stars Iola Evans in her first movie role as the final-girl lead Kayla. Centered around a text-based retro '80s computer game called CURS>R, Choose or Die pays homage to the era's horror genre in many ways. Robert Englund serves as one such homage, as he was made famous for his role as the legendary dream-haunting killer spirit Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street. In Stranger Things, Englund will playthe criminal psychiatric hospital inmate with a murderous past, Victor Creel.
CURS>R is a survival horror game in which players are forced to make choices that are deadly for the people around them. Helping Kayla is her love interest, the computer-programming friend Isaac who is played by one of Choose or Die's more well-known actors, Asa Butterfield. Kayla discovers CURS>R in a pile of clearance items at Isaac's apartment and calls a number on its packaging for players to win a $125,000 cash prize. The number prompts a Robert Englund voice message, congratulating the player for earning the cash prize and asking for a four-digit pin. While Kayla is unaware of his significance, Isaac excitedly reacts to Robert Englund's cameo in Choose or Die through a Freddy Krueger impression. Choose or Die plays the same voice message later when Kayla and Isaac find themselves at the location where CURS>R was programmed.
