AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Summary: N/A
CRITICAL RECEPTION
Benjamin Lee of The Guardian awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, "It's a film destined to live its days in the 'if you like' container."
Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com awarded the film one and a half stars and wrote, "Choose or Die too often feels like it's making itself up as it goes along." Adam Graham of The Detroit News graded the film a "D" and called it a "cheap horror exercise that's forgotten before the end credits roll."
Jude Dry of IndieWire graded the film a B+. Ryan Leston of IGN gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "But beneath this terror-filled glimpse of the '80s lies not much more than a bog-standard horror flick ... Asa Butterfield brings a solid performance alongside Evans, but there's little either of them can do to save Choose or Die."
Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Even the smallest feature-length film is a considerable logistical enterprise, so it's a bit flummoxing how little thought appears to have been put into Choose or Die."
