The Stay

The movie could have been good.

The story is interesting, but the direction, storytelling, and especially the actors ruined it completely.

Yikes. The acting is mediocre at best. I can't get past the opening scene with the first terrible actor talking on the phone and then weirdly walking around his friends house with the obvious "I already did this 300 times" look on his face. Nah. Cringe. Hard pass.

The story is meant to be horrific, it reminded me a lot of the kinds of stories we might get with 70's and 80's slashers. You can easily follow where its going and it does pick up at a pace you would expect for a traditional slasher. The ending felt a little weak though and it really could have used some better music to capture the horror element. Either way I thought it was a surprisingly good horror.

Another "producer/actor" producing movie for himself. Even if the story could've work, you can note the poor interpretation, sound problems (the horse must have hit the microphone while eating), So many mistakes during the struggle scene, so fake!

I'm giving 3 stars only because with a good director and good actors, the story could've been interesting.

I guess some people will like this mess. Has it all, when it comes to brainless people: two stupid guys who married women, who probably thought "he's so stupid, I better grab him while I can". Lets start with the obvious. When meeting a guy, who seems to be the perfect psycho, NEVER make fun of him to his face. After that scene, you don't have to watch anymore, you know what is coming.
