Stay

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

First Off Who Stayed Awake To Watch This Monstrosity???...I Watched 10, Then The NOT Interesting Peaked It's Head And After 15, What The Crap Is This, Another Social Media Tragedy Trying To Be a Horror Movie, I See 8's And 7's...NO, No And NO!

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.

So on a whim I decided to watch this. It came up on my feed and I was taking a break from editing footage, so I watched it.

Not bad!

It's the story of a YouTuber fashion model influencer that moves into a nice apartment that harbors a pretty messed up secret....

I love how bright, cheery, and high key it starts out. Very positive and nice and all that. But then the last act is, while not all that scary, VERY dark in terms of both story narrative and look.

Speaking of looks, this looks low budget AF. Like, much more low budget than your average FF horror flick. In fact, I kinda hate how it looks, but that's probably the high-quality anamorphic lens loving cinema snob in me LMAO

This ain't winning any awards, but it is a fun watch. The lead actor is absolutely GORGEOUS, and she does a great job in the role.

6/10.
