...It soon becomes apparent however that this game had something to do with their friends death because it appears when it`s game over in the game it`s game over in real life. Once realising this and the fact that the game somehow takes you over and won't let you stop playing the group turn to the computer nerd in the bunch to try to figure out a way to defeat the game. As I mentioned earlier this looked to be a good idea for a movie and the trailers ...

Review of Stay Alive (DVD)

I saw the trailer for this movie some time ago and had high expectations for it but after watching, I am sorely dissapointed. It's basically a boring, tired, rip off of 'The Ring' except it's a video game instead of a video tape. The idea for this film is a good one but the script and execution is not, it could have been so much more than what it is. The movie was released in theatres in 2006 to luke-warm reviews from critics and therefore completely ...

...you see the idea behind Stay alive is that a group of kids stumble upon a game,and this poem is what starts the game. It is voice activated so unless those words are spoken,the game will not begin. Now these kids get this game after Loomis Crowley(Milo Ventimiglia) and his friends Sarah and Rex(Nicole Oppermann & Billy Slaughter) die after playing the game. They died in the same manner they diedi n the game. Oly thing this wasn't connected yet. So ...

Review of Stay Alive (DVD)

The film stay alive is a good film the start has a freaky start and later on in the film story becomes some what real as i turned behind me to see if anything was there. Watch this film by your self in pitch black and by the time its finished you will be freaked out. The storyline is greatly spread out and not obviouse to when things happen like 'Oh someones gunna die here.' Great music goes with this film. you will never look at a rose the same ...
