{netflix} stay alive (2006)

When an old friend (Milo Ventimiglia) turns up dead, mourning teenage gamers (led by Jon Foster) uncover an ultrarealistic video game based on the true story of a 17th century hellcat known as "the Blood Countess." Unable to resist the temptation to play, each eventually shares the fate of his or her gaming persona and dies a violent death. But if there's no one left to play, who will defeat the countess? Sophia Bush and Frankie Muniz co-star.

My rating: **** Started out great...and stayed that way! Man, this was a great movie. Love the premise of the ultimate interactive video game. Strong cast as well. Jon Foster is great, Samaire Armstrong (Anna from The OC) was great as always (I love her!), and Alice Krige, as always, gives a solid, albeit small, performance. I love her so much! She's amazing in another horror flick, Silent Hill. Much Alienware love thoughout. Man, that company is really blowing up. If/when that company goes public, I'm going to invest. All in all, great story, action packed, suspenseful...everything a horror movie should be.
