Nerve-manglingly bleak and grim public information film. Six young children play cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, etc, on a (seemingly quite badly managed) farm and are one-by-one crushed under trailers, drowned in slurry pits, poisoned by weedkiller, etc, etc. All the time the adults are preparing for a mysterious party...

Pretty much guaranteed to traumatise most young viewers, I would have thought, and quite a tough watch for anyone else: you *know* that something horrifically fatal is going to befall one of the young cast every few minutes. In this respect it's written and paced exactly like a horror movie, the kind of thing children would never be allowed to watch - but this is supposed to be educational, see, so they can do things you'd never be allowed to show in an actual commercial movie. Director Mackenzie would go on to make The Long Good Friday and The Fourth Protocol (amongst other things) and brings a mixture of gritty naturalism and an eerie, dream-like quality to the film. Nastily effective: enough to put anyone off a trip to the countryside.

Very fun concept as you follow along, interesting villain choice (0 more)
Acting is cheesy at times, some open ended plot holes (0 more)

Stay alive is the game that is given to a guy after his friend from childhoods untimely death. So his new friends say the best way to honor his death is to play this underground game since the deceased friend was a beta tester no one should have this game. Soon they find out that if you die in the game you die in real life. Are they playing a game or is the game playing them. Many people did not enjoy this movie but I feel it was ahead of the time in concept and using a real live person from history ( Elizabeth bathory also know as the blood countess) both helped and hurt the movie. many people do not know the blood countess history and they don't go into it as well as they should of. You don't really ever find out how the game came to be why she is killing from the game which is a miss( I could be wrong but there was an extended addition which I think there might have been something said about it). I think that is was a huge miss for them to not actually have made the stay alive into an actual game. The game footage that is shown of them playing for the time was really good and done well and how terrifying would it have been to watch the movie and play the game afterwords. I think this is a great popcorn movie which will make you fear your video game controller vibration for a while.
