Why watch this film?
This horror is a mix of 'Saw', 'Black Mirror' and a pinch of 'Host'. In 'Choose or Die', a supposed video game becomes a deadly weapon and begins to terrorize not only the players, but anyone who crosses their path. You can even cite 'Jumanji' as a reference to the plot, since it is a game that ends up dominating those who propose to play. In the story, two friends get into this mess in search of a cash prize and they will learn that you cannot put a price on our choices - much less on people's lives. 'Choose or Die' is a movie for those with a strong stomach, some scenes are quite uncomfortable, but they are worth the atmosphere of mystery, no doubt.

Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
