Watch Stay Alive For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

The acting in this movie is really good.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Elisabeth Bathory (mispronounced throughout) is after 'teens' when they play a noughties computer game, and apparently, she lived in America (as opposed to Romania).A bit like watching a childrens' tv 'drama', with absolutely no violence, no scares and nothing much of interest either.Whereas it is fast moving, mercifully short and has a reasonable budget, there is nothing much to see here.I can only summise that other reviewers giving rave reviews are about 12, its target audience.

Stay Alive has innovative concepts but the inability to commit catering to its presumed demographic by not sustaining coherency or scares and being outright misleading. It follows a group of flawed companions not sharing enough chemistry while being haunted by an unknown entity. Audiences are expected to serve them sympathy but only few are given enough time to be properly introduced or evolve.The film primarily focuses having elongated eerie scenery, unsympathetic drama, missing and confusing elements, and outright senseless censorship. It's an unsettling original horror film that's terribly disjointed with a horrific identity crisis and doesn't properly execute its ideas. Some characters foolishly endanger themselves, scenes pilled with nonsense becomes repetitive and exhausting to watch, and its main narrative fails to convincing.It's an unfinished and shallow game for shallow impressionable gamers.

Stay Alive is a horror film in where the main gimmick is that there is a video game where if you die in, you die in real life. That seems like it would've been a remake of some obscure Japanese horror flick....well it's not. I feel like this movie got a bad rep because it came out during a time when Hollywood attempted to cash in on PG-13 Horror films. If anyone saw the theatrical version, and the uncut version side by side, you'd know your missing out on a lot. A. Lot. Let me warn everyone first off all. Though this may be a horror film, it's not terrifying at all. There is a sense of dread during the whole film, but no real sense of terror. All in all, this movie is a very fun movie. It's one the most cheesiest horror films I've seen for a while. All the actors play their stereotypical characters perfectly. All the kills are very bloody, though there is a bit of CGI (IF you watched the Uncut version.) The video game scenes are amazing. I kind of wished at times that there would be a few more video games scenes since they were made so well. This movie is a great B-movie. If you like B-movies, then yeah...watch it.

A dull and generic teen horror film, aimed squarely at the PG-13 crowd. This one has a dumb premise to begin with: a bunch of kids end up playing an online horror game. When their characters die in-game, they end up dying in real life. Now, with the right people behind it this could have been an arresting survival horror with an interesting slant on mankind's increasing reliance on computer technology for both business and pleasure. It isn't, and you end up thinking that playing the game featured in-film would be a more interesting experience.The characters are bland and dull, the type you'll forget about just minutes after they stop appearing on screen. There isn't a single person you get behind and want to see make it till the end (bringing in safe, popular TV actor Frankie Muniz doesn't help, either). The antagonist in the film is Countess Elizabeth Bathory, although she's a virtual representation of the character, which means the CGI animators don't have to worry about making her look realistic (instead she looks pretty crappy, like a ghost in a bad GRUDGE rip-off). The deaths are derivative and bloodless, and any attempts at suspense are negated by the overly familiar nature of the storyline. My advice is to give this one a miss.
