In a desperate bid for a life-changing cash prize, a struggling coder named Kayla, played by Iola Evans, and her friend Isaac, portrayed by Asa Butterfield, boot up a forgotten 1980s survival horror game. What begins as a curious dive into retro software quickly mutates into a terrifying reality when they discover the game’s sinister curse: it forces its players into a series of horrific, real-world moral dilemmas where they must choose who lives or dies. Directed by Toby Meakins, this chilling thriller plunges the pair into a nightmarish race against time, pitting them against the game’s mysterious and malevolent architect, a figure linked to a disturbing past involving characters played by Eddie Marsan and horror legend Robert Englund. As the game’s influence bleeds into their lives, Kayla and Isaac must navigate a landscape of escalating dread, where every choice has bloody consequences and the line between the digital and the real horrifyingly dissolves.
