once a Colonel in the British Army retired they chose instead to remain in the small hill town of Pangkot with its eccentric inhabitants and archaic rituals left over from the days of the Empire. Only the tyranny of their landlady the imposing Mrs Bhoolabhoy threatens to upset the quiet rhythm of their days. Both funny and deeply moving "Staying On" is a unique engrossing portrait of the end of an empire and of a forty-year love affair.

Advantages: Decent concept Disadvantages: They could have done much better with the idea
As a long standing fan of survival-horror video games, I've found myself wondering in the past why horror films never come close to being as scary or original as the cream of the video game crop. So, when I heard about a horror film with a plot based around a horror video game, I was both intrigued and hopeful.
PLOT
The story begins with Loomis (Milo Ventimiglia - Heroes), an oddly-named video gamer, playing a not yet released video game called Stay Alive.

The following morning finds Loomis similarly hung over the stairs in his house after falling through his banister.

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 bombed at the box-office and I'm glad i didn't waste money in going to see it.
After one of Hutch's (Jon Foster) friends die one night after playing the video game 'Stay Alive' he is handed a black bag full of his friends possesions which his friend wanted him to have. One of Hucth's other friends, October (Sophia Bush) discovers the game. Being a hard-core gaming fan, she's never heard ...
