Obsessive gamer Loomis rings his friend Hutch to tell him he's been playing a new game called 'Stay Alive'. The next morning Loomis, and his two flatmates are all dead. Hutch goes to the funeral of his friend, as is given a bag of possesions belonging to Loomis, by his sister. There is a copy of Stay Alive amongst his belongings. Hutch gets together all his fellow game fanatics to play Stay Alive as a tribute to Loomis. The game is based on the life of the bloody Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. Soon it becomes apparent that the game is exerting a malign influence, as those who play it are starting to die the very same way that their characters died in the game.
I really enjoyed this film. Okay it does get a bit silly in places, but I loved the idea of an ancient evil using a piece of modern technology as a portal to return to the physical world. I also liked the way that the game starts to encroach more and more into reality, where death could be facing our protagonists as the Countess regains her power. Its very enjoyable, if a bit silly at times. I thought the cast did well as a whole, with Frankie Muniz the stanout for me as nervous, geeky Swink.
The segments where we see the gamers playing Stay Alive are also very stylish.
A very enjoyable film. 4 out of 5

Personally I would have preferred the title "Game Over" or "The Lady of Blood" as opposed to "Stay Alive." The title is too similar to the Bee Gees hit "Staying Alive," which caused that tune to stick in my head during the film. The movie is the cliche, "you die in the game, you die in real life" plot. I can't wait for nanotechnology to take off.

There is a crew of young adults who find out about the negative issues of the game after several of their friends have died from it and they are in the middle of playing the game. Hutch (Jon Foster) is the main character and a big gamer. Due to a childhood accident he is afraid of fire, even so much as someone lighting a cigarette. This should have been better developed. October (Sophia Bush) is his girlfriend and a bit of a goth. Her brother is Phineus (Jimmi Simpson) who is the realist in the group and doesn't but into the game/death idea. Frankie Muniz is Swink, who appears to be a geek who quickly respects the game, a character that needed to be better developed also. Abigail (Samaire Armstrong) provides the eye candy and is an outsider to the group who invites herself in. This aspect wasn't really utilized.

The film is scarier in the beginning. It doesn't maintain the scare factor because it does the same stuff over and over, so they tend to add some gore to it. It adds some light comedy to mix, I think it could have used a 2-3 more light scenes as contrast to the intense ones. Soft 4 stars due to overuse of plot.

Open scene is live-action of an extremely scary-looking video game, a game called Stay Alive. Gamer-kid Loomis calls his friend Hutch and tells him the game is awesome and has to be played. They arrange to meet up and play the game together, hang up and carry on with their lives... Then Hutch receives a call the day after telling him that Loomis has been murdered. He is obviously shook up from the tragedy and even more surprised when he is given a bag from Loomis's sister containing old photos and "test Games" of Loomis's, of which Stay Alive is amongst sed-Games.
Hutch and 5 friends decide they have to play Stay Alive, as it's currently a test Game and hasn't been released yet, which means it's barely legal and they shouldn't exactly have it! At the beginning of the game a chant has to be recited and the Game warns them they have been marked for death; their enemy the infamous woman murderer Elizabeth Bathory.
These friends have to learn to stay alive throughout the course of this creepy, gothic Game; as the Game takes on a mind of its own and is soon out to get them and the truth behind the Game has to be uncovered as the body count rises.
Will the truth ever be uncovered, or will this gruesome Game be soon-unleashed to an unsuspecting and eager public?
You'll have to stay alive to find out...!!
I really liked this Film because it's a highly original and appealing idea, well acted and has very scary Game graphics and an uncomfortable atmosphere. For something that's low-budget and little known, I think this deserves to be watched and recognised as an original Horror, as I think it's really under-rated!

While beta testing a horror survival game, a hardened video gamer (Milo Ventimiglia) is killed by the same grisly method as his game character. His New Orleans gamer friends are eager to try the unlicensed game, Stay Alive, thinking it an exclusive opportunity, while dismissing their friend's death as coincidence. One by one, they suffer the same grisly fate, dying in exactly the same way as their game character. The game Stay Alive is based upon a historical story of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the 'Blood Countess', who slayed her victims and gutted them with silver shears. Players have to recite a chant 'Come to me clouds...' to log into the game, and a voice informs them that now they have spoken the words, they are marked for death, and that the evil courses through their veins. As the story progresses, the distinction between reality and the game world begins to blur. This is achieved subtly but effectively. From the outset, the movie deliberately avoids or minimizes scenes of the 'outside world', thus concentrating viewers' attention on the 'game world'. This is helped by copious sound effects such as computer noises and creepy, claustrophobic photography. The concept is interesting and thought provoking, and it's a very chilling story, with most of the horror in the mind and not in the screen gore.

At his friend's funeral, the main character Hutch (Jon Foster) hooks up with game novice Abigail (Samaire Armstrong). This allows ample opportunity for the other gamers to inform her, and therefore game novice viewers such as myself, of a lot of game technicalities and jargonese.
