The Movie Man - wrote on 05/23/2009
Stay Alive is a surprisingly better than expected movie that entertains just barely enough. This movie is not well written or directed, but it is actually cleaver and quite fun. The cast of young talents are good considering the lazy dialogue they have to say, Frankie Munez is the only bad one in the bunch, he's simply awful. The film is not gory or violent(per se), it's just a shockingly decent amount of fun, with good "video game" graphics.

Clever concept quickly resorts to cheap thrills, annoying characters and a script that makes up the rules as it goes; notice how quickly the cop dies in the video game, why did the countess strip naked before attempting to kill the girl? Why does it say "game over" for a character who clearly is not killed. At the very least, it doesn't take the characters too long to figure out what's going on. Final Grade: C

What if, when you die in a video game you also die for real? Seems like a decent premise, right? This movie squanders it's little bit of potential by just being plain awful in every aspect. It should be called 'Stay Away', cause that's what I recommend you do to this garbage.

This was a good movie idea... but it wasn't really scary or in fact, interesting. I was bored out of my mind when I watched it. Plus, the acting was nowhere near convincing. But again, it was a great idea for movie, very orginal... it just didn't turn out so well.

As a movie, Stay Alive would make a great video game. Being the survival horror junkie I am, I can see what they were trying to accomplish. The live action just couldn't live up to the game. Good idea, bad execution.

I had very low expectations for this film and it actually was more entertaining than expected. It wasn't scary but somewhat interesting and fun to watch. They portrayed a cliche image of gamers and police and that hurt the movie.
