The cast of Netflix horror film Choose or Die have revealed that they never actually got to meet their co-star Robert Englund, who is best known for playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.<\/p>\n

The independent British offering stars Sex Education<\/a>\u2018s Asa Butterfield and The 100<\/a>\u2018s Iola Evans as two down-on-their-luck young people, who stumble upon a long-forgotten video game from the 1980s titled \u2018Curs>r\u2019.<\/p>\n

They start playing in the hopes of winning an unclaimed $125,000 prize advertised on the box, only to find that the game is cursed and has the power to affect reality in horrifying ways.<\/p>

Englund plays a version of himself in the film, providing creepy narration for the sinister game that haunts the two protagonists, but never physically shares a scene with either of them. In fact, in real-life, they never even met once.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly not,\u201d Butterfield told RadioTimes.com<\/a>. \u201cWe only got a lovely voice recording of his which was exciting. I think honestly, the most excited person was Toby [Meakins], the director \u2013 he kept playing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cApparently they had a really fun time in the recording studio and Robert was super game to just try out a load of things. So it\u2019s pretty cool to have him, even just his voice, in the film.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
