Any video game character is a better actor than the ones that work here. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Feb 13, 2020

One of those movies that thinks loud sounds and shaky cameras account for scares, and reminding of us of truly scary gaming experiences only amplifies its weaknesses.

There's a gothic backstory to all this, which makes no sense but looks pretty cool.

If Stay Alive teaches us anything, it's that videogames and horror films do not mix...at least in the same movie.

| Mar 1, 2007

...a little needless brutality would've almost certainly elevated the proceedings, albeit temporarily...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 17, 2006

Yeah, the plot sounds like utter nonsense, but it's fun.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 17, 2006

- Aspirante a Terror em Silent Hill (jogo e filme) que, repleto de clichs e personagens caricaturais, revela-se apenas cansativo e previsvel.

...if the filmmakers could have dispensed with the actors and plot altogether, they might have had a better movie.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 12, 2006

Never has a title been more horribly at odds with the way you're actually going to feel while watching the movie.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 29, 2006

A cool idea rapidly falls apart. A completely missed opportunity.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 28, 2006

Something of a disappointment and nowhere near as scary as The Ring, which it rips off shamelessly.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 27, 2006

Stuttering like a busted console, the film's lack of invention is only rivalled by a paucity of gore which will seem positively comical to gamers long since inured to cyberspace slaughter.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 4, 2006

... while its narrative style -- elliptical, fragmented, even eccentric at times -- is ambitious and imaginative, it sometimes makes for a loss of clarity and momentum.

| Jun 24, 2006

A lack of logic infects this film like a virus.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 6, 2006

The dialogue seldom rises above the level of twaddle -- unspeakable in every sense of the word.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 12, 2006

If any of these characters were halfway decent gamers (or even hackers), their problems would be solved

Never mind staying alive. You'd be doing well to simply stay awake through all 85 interminably inert minutes of Stay Alive.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 8, 2006

Implausibly tedious, Stay Alive has none of the vicarious thrills of, say, Konami's Silent Hill 2. It's barely even Pong unplugged.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Apr 8, 2006

The filmmakers are so at a loss for fresh ways to shock that they even dredge up the twitchy, girl-with-hair-hanging-in-her-face trick from The Ring and The Grudge.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Apr 8, 2006
