Stay Alive: On Realism

Saw this movie yesterday (only because my brother paid for my ticket, I didn't plan on spending my money on it, and no, I don't d/l movies either), and it seems too much like the other horror movies that have come out lately. There are some semi-creepy moments, but for the most part, I never jumped (my sister in law did quite a few times though, but she's easily scared).

It's got too many of those "people do stupid things in horror movies" moments in it. Some semi-spoilers here, but I don't think that this would ruin anything if you've ever seen a horror movie before (as it's in just about all of them).

For instance, a girl walks by a creepy looking house under construction (supposedly going for a smoke). Nevermind that it's several houses away from their house (cause the other characters seem to have to run for a while when they realize she's been gone too long), which I don't think people "going out for a smoke" will travel that far for lol. Logic would dictate that you don't walk into areas like that, but sure enough, she does.

The logic in the game even breaks its own rules at times, which is kind of lame (at least that's what it looks like. The characters do sort of say something about it, but by the time they do, you're already like "WTF?")

Definitely a b-horror movie, and certainly worth a rent. But it's not terribly impressive unless you're scared easily and like the "scary thing pops up, and creepy sound plays" jump moments (plenty of those in there too). Maybe I'm just jaded, but I never found myself jumping at any of those points (probably because they're predictable too).

Oh yeah, lot of ad placement in that movie. Remember I, Robot and Will Smith advertising all those products? Same thing here, I had the urge to go and buy an Alienware laptop computer with shiny chrome plating after seeing this movie for some reason lol. Too bad they cost an arm and a leg.

Btw, a lot of the "monsters" in this game screams "SILENT HILL!", so if you want to get a sneak preview of what it'll probably be like in that movie, take a look hehe. At least they did look creepy, and not just "gross" (like making you want to throw up type).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
