Stay

This is not a terrible movie. It has a good arch, you get to follow the decline of the relationship and mental health of the main character. It has some decent scares midway through the movie and the home video type of filming is rather unsettling. The issue is poor acting and a pretty bad script. The lines are forced and unnatural which might explain the acting. Jesse LeNoir does a decent job as the boyfriend Julian. Seriously if you want a Russian janitor, get a Russian to do it as that was the most horrid fake accent I have heard in a long time. Expect a chill watch or watch something else but don't expect a good horror flick or great acting on a low budget.

The first bit of this movie is blog footage and is really uninteresting. Once we get to the apartment, the movie picks up and has some solid spooky moments and the lead actress has some chops. The plot arc is your standard fare, serviceable, but unspectacular.

Stay does rely heavily on jump scares, but they are handled better than many movies like this.

Overall, a decent, low budget, Paranormal Activity knock off.

If you are used to watching horror or thriller movies. This one is going to be very boring to watch. It did have story but a lot things did not seem in place and some things just felt dragged.

I was not expecting much out of this movie but overall, I'm actually surprised.

This is a really bad, super-low budget "B" horror film, based around an up and coming fashion model. There are almost no scenes of her from head to toe, or modeling. Ashley is a truly stunning actress but headshots aren't enough. She does an extremely short scene on the beach in LA and does NO bikini shots!!! This film needes some actual photography to keep the audience interested. If you are going with a beautiful actress, playing a fashion model, doing photoshoots, and you fail to show the actress/model actually doing photoshoots and modeling, you have already lost the film! The movie is too bad, agonizing, without the actress carrying more of the film with full-body photoshoots and photography, showcasing her full potential and beauty.
