Audience Member A South African slasher set in a Catholic girl's school. The Stay Awake has a killer that is either a cat or a rat headed human being and you know, that's the first time I've seen that in a movie, much less one where the slasher is felled by a thrown javelin. So, you know, despite the ineptitude of the film, the bad acting and the goofiness of having a title that invites headlines for negative reviews, I soldiered through this and finished my tour of duty. Also: the rat/cat/lizard thing is the ghost of serial killer William John Brown, who is killed in America in 1969 but for some reason goes to Europe for these murders, despite making Elm Street claims of tracking down the children of the people who put him in the gas chamber. Also also: a stay awake is like a lock in and you raise money by working out all night. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member An executed murderer's spirit haunts an all girls school and becomes a green monster that ruins a slumber party. Poor all the way around. Even the girls' aerobics class, a sure fire crowd pleaser, disappoints.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the dumbest movies I've ever not watched all the way through. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member As Richard and I discussed this should be called, "The Stay Away.." Ironically enough I had the hardest time staying awake as it took 3 sittings to watch this movie because the first 2 times I watched it I fell asleep. The tagline should read: "The big tease.." Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Stay Awake starts off strong with an opening that looks like the film will develop into Wes Craven's Shocker. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Instead, the film becomes nothing more than a ho-hum, late-80s Satanic slasher film that lacks plot and character development even for a slasher film. Despite a promising setup, the film is just plain boring. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
