  Although the plot was just a mixture of "Brainscan" and "Ghost Game", this was still entertaining for the first half an hour or so. There wasn't very much in the way of gore though as it was obviously made to appeal to kids. Characterisation was minimal and there were no real scares either but it was filmed quite well. Some of the cuts between the game and reality were clever anyway. Even though I was mostly disappointed by this as a horror film, I really want the computer game that they were playing now.

  I really liked this low budget horror. If you love playing survival horror video games like Resident Evil, you should enjoy this. People start dying after they play a video game, exactly the same way as they die in the game. Is there a link and how can they survive before they are all killed off?

  A group of kids play a videogame which links them to a Vampire Countess, and when they die in the game, they also die in real life. It has some cool gaming sequences, where things get quite scary. I don't know how much real kids would actually get into a vampire game.… More
  A group of kids play a videogame which links them to a Vampire Countess, and when they die in the game, they also die in real life. It has some cool gaming sequences, where things get quite scary. I don't know how much real kids would actually get into a vampire game. There's a nice showdown at the end. This movie wasn't too bad.

  A complex allegory for how the youth of today live their lives through video games? No. Instead a bunch of geeks we couldn't care less about are killed in rather dire ways. If you're gonna make a teen kill-fest at least make the deaths inventive. I'll admit a couple of… More
  A complex allegory for how the youth of today live their lives through video games? No. Instead a bunch of geeks we couldn't care less about are killed in rather dire ways. If you're gonna make a teen kill-fest at least make the deaths inventive. I'll admit a couple of moments were creepy and overall the film is worthwhile on that level of stupidity so high you just have to laugh. Ripping off just about any horror it can think of this film certainly wont be winning any prizes. Stupid, silly and short.

  For one thing, I HATE that this movie name-drops Fatal Frame. I felt like everything I'd ever worked for as a fan of obscure games had been raped on the spot. Yeah, this movie sucks, by the way. The video game contained therein actually looks really fun, and it has more… More
  For one thing, I HATE that this movie name-drops Fatal Frame. I felt like everything I'd ever worked for as a fan of obscure games had been raped on the spot. Yeah, this movie sucks, by the way. The video game contained therein actually looks really fun, and it has more atmosphere than the movie itself. Outside the virtual realm, the movie is a mess of cliches, boring death scenes and really terrible comic relief.

  Incredible scary film from a video game turning into a reality where players are killed while the game's over. How come Frankie Muniz's character has survived after his video game character were killed at the ending? You must select director's cut better than the… More
  Incredible scary film from a video game turning into a reality where players are killed while the game's over. How come Frankie Muniz's character has survived after his video game character were killed at the ending? You must select director's cut better than the theatrical version.

  3.2/10 "Stay Alive" is an almost perfect example of what most would call a "so-bad-it's-good" film, bumped up from perfection only by the fact that, while there's plenty unintentional laughter to be had, none of it is genuine, honorable, or worth remembering. Sure, I admit that I had a few good chuckles whilst watching this less-than-fine product, although will I watch it again so that I can laugh again as well? No, I don't think so. Literally the only thing you need to know about "Stay Alive" is that it sucks. You don't need to know much about the plot, because you can read about it in a short synopsis; and you don't need to know about the characters because honestly, you've seen them all before, in some other uber-forgettable, stupid horror movie featuring dimwitted humans and even more dimwitted paranormal spirits from beyond the grave. Video Games are often times worthless distractions and nothing more- nothing less, and maybe this is why so many people enjoy playing them. Video Games are the obsession of the film's central bunch; Hutch (Jon Foster), Abigail (Samaire Armstrong), Swink (Frankie Munez), October (Sofia Bush), and Phineus (Jimmi Simpson). They discover a brand-new online source of gaming entertainment, called "Stay Alive", after a friend suffers a horrific, tragic, and all-together mysterious demise after playing it one night. And the next night, the main group, along with a friend (Adam Goldberg), plays the game for themselves. Almost instantly, it becomes clear that this is a survival horror game unlike any other. People from the group start dying after their characters within the game die. And they die in the same exact way, too. The killer is none other than the infamous serial killer, Elizabeth Bathory, who haunts the game. I guess I won't tell you how or why she haunts the game, not that it should matter to anyone, because if you take my advice; "Stay Alive" isn't a good enough horror movie for you to want to see it. I bet a few ears perked up when I mentioned Adam Goldberg's name. He's a talent who I'd like to see in more films, or at least more films than he typically cares to be in. I remember seeing him in "Dazed and Confused" not long ago, and there he was good. Here, he is not. The problem with Goldberg, in particular, is that in "Stay Alive", he is merely amusing, and never truly "good". In a sense, he is no better than the film's more decent scenes; which are also merely amusing, and never truly good. Director William Brent Bell must think he's a sly genius for making this film. He must think that he has crafted a truly scary, creepy, and intelligent tale of virtual terror. The trouble with films about spirits, or ghosts if you may, is that you have to have sympathy for both your ghouls and your humans, although this film doesn't seem to care much about either. Anyways, moving on. Horror movies often have more stylistic venues than most films of any other genre would have. This one looks decent, but something about the style, for me, spells out the word of "bland". At best, this is glorified camp that never lives up to what is expected of it. It is lame, derivative, and all-together rather unoriginal. It is not well-acted; just as it is not well-made. I can't say I was disappointed, but when the best thing you can say about a horror flick is that stoners might enjoy it, you're in trouble. Even killers deserve solid films made about them. Elizabeth Bathory has yet to get hers.

  Entertaining, but predictable, lacking the expected eye candy of most horror movies.

• Andreia C

  
  it didn't scare me, but i liked the videogame part

• Yinalí R

  
  Cool movie.

• Quinto W

  
  This is not even a good premise. This is a horrible and stupid premise with a horrible and stupid execution. The only enjoyable aspect of it was Liam McPoyle, not because he's any good in here, but because he kept reminding how awesome It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is.

• Lovable M

  
  Great concept, bad movie.

• Nicky M

  
  Much better than I thought it would be.
