Stay

Another boring, pointless found footage flick. Wasted time...don't bother.

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.

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

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.

Don't mess with mannequins, old dolls, or anything real messed up that "comes with the building." Even though you can smell this plot a mile away, they at least do it a little differently here. This movie is lowest of the low budgets, but the sound is clean and the actors are pretty good. It's not as scary as the poster but it has a real good one near the end that got me.
