STAY ALIVE reviews
Anyone see it? Is it as bad as it looks, or slightly better? Nobody is expecting a masterpiece, just curious if anyone here saw it.
Even though most horror this year has 'box office success' written all over it regardless of whether it's good or bad...I think this won't do well. I think it's gonna bomb.

One review said its the worst movie that wasn't directed by Uwe Boll this year. I thought it looked okay, but I rather see Night Watch (it opens this week in Omaha).

A friend of mine from another message board says it's pretty bad. Personally, I'll see it when it hits dvd in 3 months.

Expect every "video gamer" cliche in the book, with a script trying to make it's characters cool and edgy.

Out of curiosity, in case anyone sees it -- is there an explanation as to why they don't just stop playing when they realize 'if you die in the game -- you die fo' real!'?

Has anyone seen the tv spot for this? It is said twice. If you've seen the spot, you know what I mean. Was this on purpose (going the way of playing a 'video game' over again) or a huge goof?

It has to be commended solely for the reason that it mostly avoided the cheap music driven jump scares that litter other bad horror movie attempts, instead relying on a bit of atmosphere and the visuals themselves.
And for Frankie Muniz haters, he actally delivers the best line in the movie.
Adam, about your question
Spoiler:
Maybe I'm crazy, but I enjoyed it.

It was entertaining. Nothing special, I wouldn't buy it or want to see it again.
Although my expierience sucked, the theater was literally FULL of 12 year old junior highers who insisted on talking, giggling, and yelling out comments throughout the movie.
I think it could have been much better if they incorporated more blood into this movie to give it an R-rating

Just watched the Unrated directors cut on dvd and i enjoyed it
Decent B Grade entertainment. Sophia Bush is in it as a bonus
I thought the videogame scenes were very well done.
Worth a rental for sure
