Review of Stay Alive

Bad execution of Good Premise
7 August 2006
Regrettably, the premise outweighs the execution! Not even approaching a bad John Carpenter movie. A lot of inaccuracies regarding Elizabeth Bathory (If "Countess Dracula" is anything to go by). How did they find the Château/Tower? What would have been a nice touch is the blonde girl who joined the group of friends was a descendant or part of the game! I was really proud about guessing that (even though I began to think it was obvious, and anyone with average intelligence would figure that out; Hardly figuring out "Sixth Sense" or "The Others") But No....she was a victim too! I think the Writer/Director probably realised during the project, that it wasn't as he envisaged. In the hands of Cronenbourg ("Existenz"), he would have given it a warped edge which it really required.
