Stay Alive
A Movie Preview |
|
|
Some of the people in Hollywood have really figured things out. I’m
not talking about how to make a good horror movie, I’m talking about
how to make a movie that will make money. How do you do this? Well,
you take a movie that has somewhat the potential for a decent horror
flick, say, this movie, “Stay Alive,” and you make it just ungory
enough, without enough gore, sex, violence, and the like, to make it
rated R. This way the likes of my niece and her group of high school
friends can spend their Saturday night seeing this movie instead of,
well, anything else, because, well, it seems this is the perfect
weekend to do so because there isn’t squat coming out at the same
time nationwide.
In any case, the plot of the movie is simple. These teens find a
weird videogame, that is really cool, and kinda creepy. Then, as
their characters in the game start dying, they start dying, in the
same way that the videogame characters died. Oooh, creepy and scary,
but sadly, not creepy and scary enough, and not with enough sex, to
make this movie rated R.
The cast of characters doesn’t really have anyone whose name I am
familiar with, so maybe it will be a nice starting point for some of
these actor’s careers. Me, I’m just bummed it’s rated PG-13, so
maybe it will give me a chance to catch up on some of my movie
viewing and skip this movie because, well, they’re going for the
money on this one, and not the horror, and that’s a bummer. My niece
will probably like it, though.
That’s it for this preview! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
