Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Elisabeth Bathory (mispronounced throughout) is after 'teens' when they play a noughties computer game, and apparently, she lived in America (as opposed to Romania).A bit like watching a childrens' tv 'drama', with absolutely no violence, no scares and nothing much of interest either.Whereas it is fast moving, mercifully short and has a reasonable budget, there is nothing much to see here.I can only summise that other reviewers giving rave reviews are about 12, its target audience.

"October!... October, where are you?!" - shouts one of the daft teens. You really need to be a rather confused film-script scribbler in order to name a female "October" and then actually have someone shout her name several times, over and over. This is the kind of Z-grade quality we're dealing with here.Whenever you think you'd just seen a horror flick with characters so idiotic and annoying they can't possibly get any worse, they come and surprise you by lowering the standards even further. Yes, there is the obligatory comic-relief moron (with a lack of manners so exaggerated that he instantly gains zero credibility as an actual living, physical, human individual) who gets killed early on (though not early enough by far), only this time the guy is so excruciatingly unfunny that you can only assume that the writer is someone's son, some useless nepotistic offspring without a smidgen of writing ability.In fact, the script is so moronic that we have two situations in which characters contradict themselves without any explanation being given. In one scene, the main character brings the idea to the others that the computer game might be responsible for the killings, and then – just a minute later – when one of the others agrees with him, he suddenly behaves like the skeptic and tells him not to be ridiculous! Amazing stuff. And the same thing happens AGAIN, a little later, only this time it's the nerd who contradicts himself.SA has no tension, no sense of dread. It is a forgettably bland horror film with lazy editing, average actors (I'm being generous here), and characters so cardboard-like they should be sent to a post office where they can be neatly folded into packages.A truly moronic scene is when just minutes after the brunette was brutally murdered, the blond girl has nothing better to do than go into a totally pointless and schmaltzy bit about how she has no home and lives in the van they're driving. South American mushrooms should not be touched ever, especially during the writing process. Avoid this dull turkey.

Plot: If you die in this freaky video game filled with dead teenage girls, you die the same way in real life.It's a creepy idea, for sure. It's an all right movie. It's not bad, but it's not amazing. I was scared a couple times, but not terrified like other movies have made me. I've seen this movie a few times and it's not one I think of often. You know how sometimes you'll be going through your life, working, hanging out with friends, whatever, and a movie you really liked popped into your head out of nowhere? And you smiled just thinking about it? Yeah, well that never happens to me with this movie. Haha.I didn't feel attached to any of the characters. They weren't awful or anything like that, but I just didn't care about them. I think a horror movie is good when I'm sad that someone is dying. You know, because if you saw someone die in a crazy, gory way in real life, you would freak out, you would be torn up. So a movie that shows you that death but didn't make it feel real enough, didn't show you the humanity of the victim, is inadequate. It doesn't serve its purpose, and that's a shame. The lead character was boring. I don't have much to say about him. Actually, okay, I did care about two people. There's the love interest of the main character who is almost well-established. You won't feel like you know her, but you'll have a pretty good idea, and you'll like her. The other one I liked was played by Frankie Muniz, and the whole time I was thinking about Malcolm in the Middle, so I had no choice to like him. That's not really a boast-able victory by the director, but a semi-victory by the casting department.It's an average movie, with an average plot, average characters, and average graphics. I get that the villains were supposed to look like they came straight out of a video game, but I feel like if in the video game, they were modeled after real dead girls, they should be real in real life, you know? But whatever. I wouldn't recommend buying this, but if you want to borrow it from a friend or have a free trial of some rental service, go for it.

I vote Stay Alive a 1, because of the fact that it completely and utterly terrified me, for months after I'd watched the film. If I was voting on it being scary or not, I'd give it a 10. I know a lot of other people have said it's not scary at all, and it's really really awful, but in my opinion, this is a film I cant even bare to hear about, as soon as it's name is mentioned I am cowering in a ball struggling not to cry, the only reason I can write this now is because I'm listening to soothing music and trying to let people know that to some people it might not be as bad as everyone else is saying.The first few minutes I was watching it I just thought...this is a bit of a joke, but then it really did scare me. Jumpy things scare me pretty bad and this I found to be very jumpy. The blurs of the woman walking around scared me as I don't like things moving that quick and just...the idea of it being a video game, put me off even LOOKING at my video games for months. I thought about this film for months after watching it and had to take sleeping pills because I couldn't sleep because of the nightmares. I cant even bare to have the DVD in my house, I gave mine to a friend.Just wanted to let you know it's not really as bad as it sounds, and to some people, like me, it can actually be one of the scariest things you'll ever watch.
