Stay Alive did a better job then I thought it would but it left a whole lot of questions. One being why in the heck did an evil ghost woman come back in the form of a video game to kill people?

Okay. I haven't done a lot of research to know if this was an original idea or if it was taken off of an idea from another movie overseas (like the trend of most of American productions these days)...however; I thought the idea of this movie was a great idea. Something that I don't recall seeing before (if this general premise has been done before please let me know).
Basics. You play a certain video game. You survive until your character dies. Then you will inevitably die in the same fashion as your character.
I dig it.
Execution. I think they did it. Sure, there's almost always room for improvement in almost anything these days; but I think they made a decent and entertaining movie. Overly scary? No. But it was a great story and I really enjoyed the …
