Cool.
I liked this movie. I mean the first scene is a 3-second flash of a screaming zombie! How more PG-13 could you get? This shouldn't've been rated PG-13; it had a lot of action. I liked this movie though, they all die in the most creative ways. I mean, isn't it awesome to go flipping off a balcony, landing on a chandelier, breaking your neck, and hang on the chandelier like you're on a noose? Yeah, sounds real PG-13 to me. But anyways, I liked it.

Cute Horror Flick
To answer the above review, it got a PG 13 because there was very little actual violence in the movie and even the virtual violence was pretty tame. This is significantly less gruesome than most action-adventure movies and *way* less gory than most of the video games it emulated. There were depictions of violent death but for the most part the camera just flashed to and away from it, preventing viewers from seeing anything but a bunch of red. When my friends and I saw it, the theater was packed with kids in the 10-15 range and they spent most of the movie screaming and laughing and generally seeming to have fun. The premise is clever and it's fairly well executed. With things like Hostel and Saw II and The Hills Have Eyes out on the market, this is pretty much the only option for kids who want to see a horror flick. Luckily for them, it's not half bad.

Interesting plot!
This movie was pretty interesting. It was a different pg-13 horror flick and it gave you some good scares and jumping out of your seat moments. In my opinion this might have been a little bit to much for a pg-13 film(with the way the characters were killed off,)but it kept you awake and wondering what would happen next. I really liked the backround(settings)of where the movie took place.(the creepy house,the torture chamber,and the scary graveyard.)

not horrible, not great
It's an average horror movie. The language is much too bad for children to watch it, however. As for scary images, it's simply not that scary. I jumped maybe once the entire time.

Loved Loomis. Loved the movie. Hate the Blood.
I saw the movie a couple years ago, and i liked it. I wasnt paying too much attention, though. I was reading a book through the movie. but just recently, a week or two ago, i watched this movie with my younger sister (one year difference) and actually took notice of all of the violence. This still continues to be my fave horror movie, but i was a little upset over the amount of blood. Otherwise, Loomis, (Milo Ventimiglia) was in my perspective, the best character. I am a huge heroes fan, so of course ill love that character, so yeah.

Not Scary at All
Pathetically stupid, with a somewhat unique plot, and unscary jump scenes, its easier to consider a comedy than a horror film. Worth it on a boring night, but dont expect anything great.

It was good
I have the PG-13 version on DVD because I hadn't seen it in the movies and i bought it the first day it came out, so i didnt know if the directors cut had the orginal version so i just got the Pg-13 one and now i regret it. I really want the unrated because the pg-13 version is pretty tame. The only violence and gore for it is mostly in the game and the death scenes they flash away

an awesome movie.......
Stay Alive is an awesome movie-in my and my friends oppinion anyway. if u r thinkin of watchin the Directors Cut version of this moviehere r some things to consider.Sure its and awesome movie but it uses the swears f--k, b--ch, ba---rd, a--, motherf---er, D**n, d-ck and s--t,alot of times. there is also one scene around the beginning where there r 2 people havein sex, and u can c the dude's butt.(lol).later u can also briefly c boobs. So personally, i think it should b 'R'.theres my opinion, and it is A MUST C MOVIE!(sorry for bad spelling and grammer im used 2 MSN, oops, i did it again lol.)

its a really lame movie...
its fine for kids, its just REALLY lame... I've seen half a million other horror movies better than this- if you want REAL action, watch Plague Town, or Human Centipede!

if u r looking 4 a bloody movie, watch STAY ALIVE: direcrors Cut.
i watched the unrated version. it was VERY bloody... a character gets hanged in the game, then in real life; another person is stabbed in game, then real life; a character gets run over by a horse drawn carriage; someone's head explodes; someone's neck is slashed; somebody is killed by a wierd blade/scissors type thing; and the antagonist has nails go through her heart, neck, and head and then is set on fire. this movie contains TONS of swearing in cluding at least 8-10 f-words, several "S#!+" s and many other words. there is one sex scene but nothing is shown. and 1 character says things while playing the game like "i can feel it in my pants". i however did like the movie, but most parents would find it extremely violent and gross.

Not A Movie You Want Your Child to see.
A pretty nice movie but not a movie you want your child to see. If you do want to show your 13 or 14 year old child show them the theatrical version of the movie no the directors cut. The directors cut is extremely gory, has very strong language ( F word repeated many times over 30), and a nude scene were it show a womens behind, and a quick glimpse of her breasts. Not a teen movie.

Horror's Next Big Hit
I loved this movie! I am a big horror fan myself, and have seen almost every recent one, but this is best by far! If you like super-thrilling movies with that horror-gory touch (only a bit!), then SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!

Stay Alive
My kid wanted to see this movie for his 8th birthday (go figure), so we did. He must have loved the movie, but I though it was pretty cheesey. The story within the game itself is alright, but the whole real life to video game storyline just doesnt suit a movie well. This might be a good movie for creepy video game fans.
