Stay Alive

Stay Alive

Who's in it: Jon Foster, Samaire Armstrong, Frankie Muniz, Jimmi Simpson, Sophia Bush

What's it about: A new, unreleased video game, 'Stay Alive', finds it's way into the hands of Hutch(Foster), and his friends after the mysterious murder of their friends. Hutch meets Abigail(Armstrong) and they, along with October(Bush), Phineus(Simpson), and Swink(Muniz), play the game in memory of their lost friends. When they die in the video game, they begin to be picked off with a eerily similar death to the way they died in the game. When looking into the history of the story the game was based on they discover a haunted past.
What I Think: I had orginally seen this movie in theatres with my brother and a friend. It was a fairly good performance from each of these actors and actresses. The storyline was a little off and all, but I got the whole thing in the end. Some of the effects sucked when I first saw it, but watching it again made me realize that they were supposed to be that way because they were portraying that the actual characters were killing off the people. I did not expect for Muniz to be in this movie. He did one of the greatest jobs I've ever seen him do. Great twist at the very end. You have to pay very close attention to be able to guess how everything comes to a close.
