You can definitely add Stay to your Spooky Season playlist – there is a freaky sense of foreboding in a lot of this film. But you might also get caught up in the story of two people trying to find their way back to love. Go to Full Review

An effort to minimalize the information we know about our characters at the beginning, coupled with giving one character an odd amount of knowledge about what is going on are part of the reasons you should leave this predictable haunted house ASAP. Go to Full Review

Stay, Huluween's opening horror film, fails to deliver thrills or chills with its tired tropes and frustrating structure. Go to Full Review
Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror Oct 8
2/5
The actors do what they can, and I absolutely relate to their grief and struggles. It’s just that the core storyline is full of red herrings served right alongside huge hints about what’s truly going on. Go to Full Review

Katie D @WickedPineapple Jul 6 Interesting premise, poor execution. Not scary, and not particularly romantic either. I wasn't invested in this couple, we know very little about them except they're SO in love (at first sight) and have pet names. The acting was decent, they just didn't have a lot to work with. See more florencia L @Florencel Feb 21 The premise is a good idea, and the acting is not bad. The script is challenging and ambitious, but at times lacks clarity. Nevertheless, as a mostly one-location movie, the characters' development is the most pivotal element needed. Transforming a breakup story into a transcendental dark metaphor is a challenging goal. And here is where the direction missed more sensitivity, visual details, and timing. Since we are not emotionally invested in the couple as individuals or their relationship during the breakup, and we mainly witness "constant antagonistic communication" from the start, the storyline becomes increasingly flat, predictable and a little tedious. I am afraid that most of the audience has had difficult relational experiences in their lives, and it is not an enjoyable event to remember or witness. But it is a good effort. See more Morya A @CreoleQueen Dec 5 "Stay," directed by Jas Summers, is a breathtaking cinematic experience that captivates the audience from start to finish. This film transcends traditional storytelling, weaving together elements of suspense, emotion, and profound reflection on human relationships. The performances are nothing short of extraordinary. The lead actors deliver powerful portrayals that resonate deeply, allowing viewers to connect with their struggles and triumphs. Summers’ direction is masterful. He skillfully balances the film’s tense moments with intimate character-driven scenes, creating a tapestry of emotions that is both engaging and thought-provoking. The cinematography is visually stunning, with every frame beautifully crafted to enhance the narrative's emotional depth. "Stay" is not just a film; it’s an exploration of love, loss, and the choices we make. This film is a must-see, and I can't recommend it highly enough! See more Declan D. @filmbuffkid Nov 22 What did I just watch? This is one of the most boring and dumb things that I’ve ever watched in my life, War of the worlds with Ice cube is more entertaining than this pile of garbage and nonsense. See more Brandon M @RT05620714 Nov 16 Turned it on, tried to watch. Couldn't get into it, got up and did my dishes. Don't have much to say about it. See more Natasha D @RT32138701 Nov 11 Stay will keep you on the edge of your seat. The mix of horror and love story is both riveting and heartbreaking. It is an intimate film that consistently left me questioning the characters reality and brings the audience in on how complicated love and the pain of loss is. A must see! See more Read all reviews
