The Stay

Another "producer/actor" producing movie for himself. Even if the story could've work, you can note the poor interpretation, sound problems (the horse must have hit the microphone while eating), So many mistakes during the struggle scene, so fake!

I'm giving 3 stars only because with a good director and good actors, the story could've been interesting.

Okay idea, bad writing/dialogue, bad actor performace but worst of all; the prop knife. It made it impossible to take this seriously, the prop knife was like 1/2 inches thick, looked to be like cardboard or styrofoam or plastic. It looked so much like a kids toy, that this movie turned into a bad parody.

As I've said in other reviews, when the director and writer and actor is all the same person, it makes for a terrible movie. And this was no exception. Scott Hamm is horrible on screen. Over acting and 1 dimensional. The plot kind of made sense, but then it didn't. My mind kept wondering off as the movie continued. The caretaker was just an annoying add on that wasn't utilized properly. 2 stars because I thought the black chick was the only sensible one, but then he dumbed her down too. Stick to your soaps man.

Yikes. The acting is mediocre at best. I can't get past the opening scene with the first terrible actor talking on the phone and then weirdly walking around his friends house with the obvious "I already did this 300 times" look on his face. Nah. Cringe. Hard pass.

As of March 5, 2022, 1,235 people have given it 10 stars, 1,199 have given it a 9 and 1011 have given it an 8 and that makes me shock. A movie with no script, no plot, no technical means? I refuse to believe that I'm one of those arrogant critics, so I don't want to crush the movie, but I was going to give it between 2 and 3 stars but I'd better give it a 1 to even it out and get it to its fair score.
