Product Description
Starring Katheryn Winnick (CSI, Law & Order) and Kevin Pollak (Tropic Thunder, Usual Suspects) Choose is a suspense laden psychological horror starring Richard Short (Public Enemies). The film also marks the directorial debut for Marcus Graves. The film got its UK premier at the FRIGHTFEST Halloween All-Nighter in Leicester Square earlier this year. The peace and tranquility of an idyllic, suburban city is suddenly broken. Behind a picket fence and manicured lawn, teenager Sara awakens, startled as a rush of cold air gently pushes he bedroom door open. Across the hall her parents bedroom door lies ajar and as her eyes adjust to the darkness she finds her parents gagged and tied to the bed. Knocked unconscious she is later awoken by a deranged killer and given sixty seconds to make a simple choice: who dies, her mother or her father?

Format:DVD
When i rented this i thought it would be a typical slasher teen movie.
i was pleasantly surprised, it does have a lot of blood and gore but has a storyline.
it was very like saw but this is more phsycologically scary.
as in the title victims were made to choose one of two horrific scenerios. they were really awful choices and would be one of your worst fears.
although this wasnt one of the choices as i dont want to give exact details away, it was typically like ' choice to keep your arms or keep your legs' you wouldnt want to choose either but have no other option.
there was a few scenes where i flinched and had to look away, although they dont show the killings in detail you can only imagine the pain which made it worse.
the ending was quite a let down and a bit dissapointing, it all happened very quick and it could have been done better, when the killer revealed his/her motives it was very typical, been done before and obvious.the writers should have come up with something a bit more original.
the last minute of the film was really rubbish and a typical silly horror film ending.
this defiantly doesnt have the quality or great storyline as the 1st saw film but still worth a watch.
the choices the victims had to make was terrifying enough on their own, the thought of them stay with you for a little while after.

The packaging and trailer hint as a Saw clone, but the film itself may pleasantly surprise. Instead of clumsily trying to shoehorn in a reason for its psycho to eviscerate people in nasty ways on-screen, Choose manages to inflict some serious tension with its opening, and then ground the story in character, introducing us to Kathryn Winnick's student journalist, and her caring cop dad played by 'The Usual Suspects' Kevin Pollack. They make a sweet and convincing family unit, and she's good, making you care for the lead as she starts to find herself increasingly tangled up in the case of a local nutjob forcing people to make nasty (and often life or death) choices. Nicely the plot has more to give than it first seems, and though it uses the typical fallbacks of throwing around suspicion, mystery cases and nutso side characters, it all amounts to an enjoyable and interesting psycho-killer thriller with some very entertaining moments. Its occasionally overplayed by side characters, and it veers into occasional cliche, but the execution (sorry) is a cut above average.

It starts off as (and has parts resembling) a groan worthy teen movie, but this soon turns into a clever clichéd Scream like slasher romp. The killer kidnaps 2 people and makes a third victim choose who he kills. The hunt to uncover him thus begins.
The acting is passable, the scenes good and the killer is quite scary. The kills are clever, with a point, and there is also quite a bit of gore and menace. The music is loud and the whole feel is like the teen horror blockbusters of the Scream era 90's, just less flashy and cheesy. This is all good and combines to produce a worthwhile horror thriller. I do not recall one movie like this, since say Boogeyman (2005). I agree it is a bit like SAW-light, but then nothing will be like SAW, and it is aiming for a Scream style.
Worth a free pop....however the start is the bets bit and the ending a let down too. Lads will surely like Katheryn Winnick. If you want better try The Tortured and The Collector.

Choose Something Else (Slight Spoilers)

rubbish
I love horror films, the cheesier the better. This however is bitterly disappointing and a complete waste of your money and time spent watching it.
