When the game becomes destiny

Watching "Stay Alive" directed by William Brent Bell, I just feel that freshness is mixed with familiarity. It is another story locked in fate, which is like a remake of "Death Alive".

After several young people played an underground game called Stay Alive, they entered into a predetermined fate together. When it was discovered that the player's method of death in the game had been replicated exactly in real life, everyone fell into a panic & confused. At this time, just like the usual rules in American blockbusters, a warrior will stand up and find the story behind the game in order to change everyone's destiny.

When switching between the game scene and the real scene, everything really seems to have happened. I have to say that the 3D in the film is still very good, but the plot is still a bit monotonous. When the characters in the play are like the arrangement in the game In that way, one by one, one by one, he died unexpectedly, it was really like the plot of death coming. When a character in the play appears alone in a certain scene, it is his fate.

The overall tone of the film feels a bit gloomy. It may be to match the horrible scene. Apart from the occasional dark wind, the overall atmosphere is really lackluster. The Countess who was summoned and resurrected also appears scary enough. Even the various ways of death of the character are not as good as that. Grim Reaper is ingenious in creativity.

In addition, such a tall black tower can't be seen in many searches. It has to rely on the guidance of the game to find it. However, after the final fire, the sirens will sound soon. Did the police have known this black tower? The tower exists and someone reports a fire? I don't really understand.

In the end, I just feel that when the game becomes a fate, it really no longer has the function of entertainment!

    The setting is a bit new, the core is actually no different from the midnight bell or something. The plot does not stand up to scrutiny
