The star of Netflix horror film Choose or Die has spoken out on the possibility of a sequel, explaining that the nature of the story could prevent one from happening.
The film down-on-their-luck friends Kayla (Iola Evans) and Isaac (Asa Butterfield) who begin playing a forgotten 80s video game in the hopes of securing an unclaimed prize pot of $125,000.
However, they quickly discover that the game is capable of manipulating reality in terrifying ways, making each level a literal life or death experience.
There are full spoilers for Choose or Die in this article, so don’t read any further if you still plan to watch the film.
The end of Choose or Die sees Kayla finally outsmart the twisted Curs>r, but the prize she unlocks isn’t the cash that she was hoping for, but rather the ability to control the video game and use it on others.
The first thing she does with this ability is turn the cursed code onto her mother’s abusive drug dealer, who meets a grim fate involving a sink of upturned syringes.
Could this be the start of a blood-soaked vigilante career for Kayla? Iola Evans told RadioTimes.com whether she’d be interested in continuing her character’s story down that path.

She said: “Potentially, I mean I think it raises some moral questions about who should get to be in a position of judging who’s worthy of suffering, basically… if she is some sort of like vigilante or hero figure, how much of one is she really if she’s then taking on the role of making other people suffer?
“I would be interested to see what direction it goes in because I feel she just wants to be happy and get on with her own stuff,” continued Evans. “For her mum to be happy and safe – these kinds of really basic things that we all need, which she’s really kind of had to struggle through the whole film to get. So I don’t know. Depends what she wants going forward.”
Choose or Die is also noteworthy for including a voice role for Nightmare on Elm Street’s Robert Englund, but it has since emerged that he never actually met co-stars Evans and Butterfield.
