Hey... Hey, look.... it's that kid from Malcolm in the Middle...

Stay Alive


Official MovieGuy Review:
*

Its movies like this one that make me wonder how is it that movie production studios read a script for a movie like Stay Alive and think, a) this movie is going to be really fantastic, we must make it, and b) this movie is so good that we're going to make tons of money when it comes out in the theatre.

Since I don't want to spend tons of time on this one, I'll give you a super(small)sized review. Kid plays a video game and dies. Shortly thereafter, something kills him in real life. His friend gets the game. When he gets a group of them to play, they start getting picked off. Thats about it.

This one gets one star for the simple fact that the villain, Elizabeth Bathory, looked creepy... but wasn't scary.

Some Quick Facts about Stay Alive:

• I watched the regular version (there's an unrated one out there) which was approx. 85 minutes long. It took me three nights to watch it because it was so bad
• Stay Alive has a character named Phineas... who was also a character in A Seperate Peace... a book that I hated almost as much as I hated this movie
• Stay Alive grossed $23 million dollars at the box office. Which means, at an average of $10 per movie ticket, 2.3 million people were duped into seeing this in theatres
