Sup Mama

A terrible film is a terrible film, but terrible horror is the worst, possibly on par with terrible comedy.

Today I watched Stay Alive, a film from 2006 starring Peter Petrelli, I mean Milo Ventimiglia (I'm not going to google him to get the correct spelling, you know who I mean, he's shagging the cheerleader). I say it stars him, he's top billing, but only in the film for the first 5 minutes to be sharp killed off. A possible homage to Drew Barrymore's top billing on Scream? No, probably not. His character is also called Loomis, probably more of an homage to Scream again, rather than Psycho, where Scream stole the name from.

Anyway, the concept is one of those in which a bunch of teenagers do something that causes them to die, like The Ring, One Missed Call or Final Destination. In this, they play a computer game called Stay Alive, after which you die in the manner you died in the game. Sound shit? It is! It pays homage to several video games, such as Project Zero (Fatal Frame in America), Silent Hill (through referencing, and a foggy-girlinfrontofthecar-crash), the Konami Code is used, and several references to Gamespot.

One character saves it, and thats is Fineus (sp?) who is an utter prick, but says 'Sup mama' to Anna from the OC. He made me laugh, and that was the only thing I enjoyed in the film. The CGI sections were looked over by the CliffyB, of Gears/Unreal and oddly enough SILENT HILL fame.

I really don't know how this film got made, Hollywood Pictures practically came out of fruition to make it, AND ITS SHIT. They had Sixth Sense, and American Werewolf in Paris (my favourite werewolf film evarrrr) under their belt, they needed no more horror.

Don't waste your time with this film, not like Lindsay Lohan's Opus, I mean I Know Who Killed Me, that is the best film ever.
