Stay Alive (2006)
2/10
Worst Horror movie of '06
25 March 2006
Warning: Spoilers
If not the worst horror movie ever made.

Let us start with the beginning shall we? The movie starts off as generic gamer #1(Milo Ventimiglia) begins his beta test of a new survival-horror video game much like the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises. You are sucked in with the cheesy video game graphics as a bunch of zombie babies begin to attack him.

He walks into a torture room (which makes no sense right now, since later on in the movie the same torture room is portrayed somewhere far deeper in the mansion) and is assaulted by a lady in a red dress. He is thrown off of the balcony with a chain wrapped around his neck.

The game ends with a very original "Game Over" message as generic gamer #1 starts to tremble in fear.

Cue roommates having sex in pig masks for no apparent reason.

Several boring minutes pass until he finally wanders downstairs to get a glass of milk before bed. A glass of milk which he throws at THE GHOST OF THE LADY IN THE RED DRESS! Didn't see that coming did you?

Anyway, his roommates are dead now (good, who wants a bunch of furries living anyway?) and he is thrown off of the balcony of his home with a chain wrapped around his neck, just like the video game.

This movie has more plot holes then swiss cheese. Something happens, and then they give you no explanation as to how that happened.

For instance, towards the end of the movie several characters are being chased by the police because they are the prime suspects in the recent murder of a police officer who also played the game. The only problem is, the movie ends before they resolve that. It's as if nothing went wrong.

Second, who made this game? Who has the programming knowledge to form something like this? When they reach their final destination, they actually show some evidence that there is someone living in this mansion. The only problem is they don't go anywhere with it. I can assume that the person is dead but they show no evidence at all. So let's just say he doesn't exist at all and that this movie sucks.

Third, at the end, as soon as they finish their task...that's it. They don't show you anything, no talking, no cheesy punchlines, nothing.

"Hey, instead of an actual ending, let's just make an obscure reference to this game actually being released to the public"

"But, what about the rest of the story? What about the police and the kids? What happens to them?"

"Nope, we wasted all of our money on cheesy graphics and crappy actors. We cant possibly afford a plausible ending."

Let me wrap this up before I start to hurt myself. Do not see this movie unless you want to waste your money. The graphics are cheap, the acting is poor and the story is weak. You will not laugh, you will not shriek, you will not enjoy yourself.
