Today, the boys at Bloody-Disgusting got their hands on the trailer for William Bell and Matthew Peterman’s thriller STAY ALIVE, which hits theatres March 24th. Since my college is a little touchy on noise in the computer labs, I can’t really comment on the trailer unless I somehow aquire the ability to interpret electronic signals by sticking my finger in the headphone jack. That’s also if my finger would fit in the headphone jack. Is that enough filler?
Loomis, an elite video game tester, gets his hands on a demo copy of the hot new game based on voodoo and black magic titled “Stay Alive”. When he dies abruptly under questionable circumstances, Loomis’ friends, lead by Hutch (Jon Foster), come together to pay tribute to him by pulling an all-nighter trying to conquer his last gaming quest. The game starts with a séance evoking the Blood Countess, a historical figure who was responsible for hundreds of human sacrifices in an attempt at salvaging her youth and beauty. Little do the gamers know, by playing the game they have put into motion forces that will lead to their demise. The gruesome manner in which each player dies in the game is the way they die in reality. Hutch must find a way to beat both the game and the evil Countess in order to…stay alive.
