Netflix has acquired CURS>R, a new horror movie starring Asa Butterfield.

Eddie Marsan and Robert Englund also star alongside Iola Evans, who plays a broke college dropout. She decides to play an obscure, 1980s survival computer game in pursuit of an unclaimed $125,000 prize. But the game curses her, and she’s faced with dangerous choices and reality-warping challenges. After a series of unexpectedly terrifying moments, she realizes she’s no longer playing for the money, but for her life.

Toby Meakins directs from a script by Simon Allen, the writer of The Watch.
