Just got home from the 7:45 show of Stay Alive. I will tell you what I thought of the movie and I will give you an Idea of what it's like (Story wise).
Review - I thought it was pretty good actually. At the start it didn't look to promising. The game graphics looked pretty good which I was suprised cause I thought they would just make the game graphics cheap cause It would be hard to do it but the characters and everything looked just like the people. It wasen't really scary but there were a few "gore" parts and parts where it just jumps out at you and makes you jump. They had a few things in there that freaked you out as when they would look in the mirror they would see dead people and everything which was pretty good. They also had the zombies and dead people walk like they were skipping as in freezing and jumping again like there was a scratch in a cd, Kinda like the girl in the ring was walking and shit. The movie seemed pretty short and the killings were pretty fast and basic. The killings could have been ALOT better but of course, PG-13 isn't much to work with. I really couldn't concitrate on the movie to well as the theatre was PACKED and people were making noice and shit which I hated! That's really all my review was but if you were thinking about seeing the movie, I'd go cause It's worth it. It's good to check it out cause it's a great Idea for a movie. Overall, I would give the movie a 3 1/2 outta 5.
Thanks for reading<3 Scroll down to see spoilers of what happened in the movie (Short summary).
Spoiler - It started out with the video game going on and the guy playing it was like an ultra nerd. He was hooked on the game as they kept showing him and he was just staring at the screen and couldn't stop playing. It showed him walking through doors and the zombies and ghosts all after him with him shooting them and everything. He finally died from falling off the stars in the house and getting hung and it said, "Game Over". He then called his friend and told his friend to come over to play it and the friend told him maybe tomorrow. Then when they hung up the phone the guy went up stars to go into his bed. He kept hearing noices and seeing things and thought it he was going crazy. He finally fell off the stars and was hung some how exactly how it was in the game. The next day at the funeral his friend went and the kid who had died, his sister, gave his friend his video games with the game "Stay Alive". Then, he invited all his friends over to play the game, they all sat in a room and hooked a view monitors up and started to play. They all got freaked out and they all started dying one by one. They didn't realize that the game as killing them until the 3rd or 4th killing. Everytime there was a death, the same guy from the start was always at the crime scene when the cops arive so they kinda accuse him for doing this and he tried to explain it was the game but they don't want to here it. Basically, they find the address of the makers of the game and go there and only to realize that it's the same place that's in the game. One person was playing the game trying to protect them as the other two people were going through the house to find this girl who started all of this. She was in this big tower and her spirit was let out or something and she was killing everyone. I really didn't understand this but what they had to do to stop it was go up to the tower and find her dead body, nail her forehead, and three nails in her body to bring back her spirit. When the guy finally found his way up there, He did it and when he thought it was all over she woke up and tried to kill him. He lit her on fire and burned her and then she vanished and everything stopped for them. THE END.
