Stay (II) (2017) User Reviews

Even though a lot if this was predictable if you've seen a lot of movies, I was riveted.

[MovieHeartGirl · 6/10 · 31 May 2019]

I've seen my fair share of "girl captive" movies, and much of this was predictable (not all of it). However, the actors were so good, I couldn't take my eyes off of the film. That was also due to its thriller, "escape," angle, of course. You'll miss a lot if you look away. MISSING-- I wanted to KNOW each of these characters as people a lot more. We learn almost nothing. BERLIN SYNDROME was an excellent, bigger budget film that did this well. However, considering this was a low budget indie--I was impressed.

Enjoyable

[Deanna_K · 6/10 · 9 July 2019]

While slow at times I thought the acting was decent for a low-budget film, better on behalf of Zach Kanner than Devin. He was a convincing likeable sicko. While her character fell a bit flat. I didnt like or dislike her, which meant I wasn't really rooting for her either way. She didn't seem very special... It would have been nice to know more about their backgrounds, which we never do. However, there were some unique concepts that made for an enjoyable film if you have nothing better to do. My only big question is what kind of woman was he married to before since he is clearly mentally unstable. He demands complete obedience/submission and uses force to get it, yet still wants her to be happy and love him there's definitely a massive psych file behind that... So did he treat his wife this way? Or he just became this unstable after losing her...

teaching and romantic, but too sad

[NijazBaBs · 5/10 · 8 March 2020]

This is one movie that is much different than all other I watched, it is much more spiritual, emotional, psychological, and religious. Did not see any horror in here tough. It gives us insight into relationships, love, life, other people. It teaches us that love and anything in life can't be forced, that not everything can be predicted, planned, and intended. It motivated me to be more careful about relationships, to avoid any possible extortion, forcing, and excessive obsession, to simply do nothing by realizing that relationships is not the guaranteed or reliable way to hapiness. There are strong feelings of romance, love, sadness, hope. But sadness dominates, so I can say this movie is too negative, too sad. Not sad that much in it's events, there are definitely worse events even in more amateur movies, but some background sadness, which is kind of warning, teaching, and inspirational for us. Good thing is that this movie is very real by it's topic and acting, and good to watch for young people today who are just, or who have not yet, fell in love, especially because today population is higher and internet makes any such occurrences and following problems more likely to happen. Honestly this movie motivated me to simply be more satisfied, careful, and to in most cases simply do nothing, instead of getting involved in unnecessary drama or effort. Actors do look good for romantic movies, perfect example.

Intriguing Plot But Way Too Many Holes

[mgkidd · 2/10 · 14 July 2019]

I couldn't get over not knowing where/how he saw her to know he had to have her, and how he captured her or lured her into his apartment in the first place and got the contraption on her neck. Had that been integregrated I may have developed enough empathy for either character to want to see the film through. Major plot hole that annoyed me and lost my interest. Shut if off after 15 minutes.

Waste of time

[africe · 1/10 · 4 May 2019]

Longest stretch of nothing I've seen in a while. 93 minutes of my life I wish I had back. Don't waste your time

SO BAD. SO SO SO BAD.

[lauren0531 · 2/10 · 27 May 2020]

I was REALLY wanting to like this movie. The acting is so bad; like, worse than a Lifetime Movie bad. Like, if acting students that didn't make the cut for a prestigious acting school made a movie... but worse. So... newbie actors that used their "lessons" too literally, and completely over-acted, but also just weren't good at it? Screenplay is a C-, at best. Not even laughable it is so bad. Plot holes are in the hundreds... but wait, there isn't really a plot what either. Remember that movie from a million years ago called KIDS... or have you ever seen an "adult film" that attempts a script and "plot?" It's like that. But so much worse. Giving it a 2 for effort.

Actors pull together this low budget film

[ilb-97646 · 7/10 · 13 July 2019]

Although only shot in one location and minimal characters this low budget film impressed. Wish I could have seen more backstory, but still enjoyed the 90 minutes. The actors are definitely something to watch, their performance kept me "captivated." Thanks for this cool little indie film!

On your knees

[StudleyDave · 3/10 · 26 January 2021]

The premise is interesting, and the tagline behind it fits well. However, the story doesn't give enough to explain major events, nor to support any kind of real connection with the audience, so the idea becomes as boxed in as the kidnapped victim in the flat. Overall, a fairly plain and dull movie

Wasn't too bad, I guess...

[justynshere · 7/10 · 6 September 2019]

I agree with one man that a more detailed events of how she got there would be interesting but it may make you have even less sympathy for the man to see that all acted out. This film about showing you events from a specific point.

Be aware of fake reviews

[willcline-91043 · 1/10 · 4 March 2020]

As you can see this one is full of fake reviews and not only are they fake they're trying to trick you into thinking there legit! Don't be fooled people anyone giving this film more than a 3 Star rating either know someone on the film or they are getting paid to fake it..i couldn't sit through the entire movie i would've probably stuck a gun in my mouth but that's just my opinion and it's an honest one too..

An unexpected pleasure

[vinskmd · 8/10 · 14 August 2019]

I'm sure if you're reading this you're one of us. You know, we love to scour through Prime hoping to find a worthwhile and sometimes even an excellent unknown film. Well this is just that. Excellent I thought. I agree with others that I'd like to have seen the actual story leading up to the imprisonment, but not a deal breaker by any means.

Brooke Devlin, whom I'd never seen before was fantastic. I'll admit it was difficult to suppress the fact that she is astonishingly gorgeous and just focus on her character. She made it much easier by portraying Claire so well. Her expressions, tone and mannerisms were exquisite. I really thought she was amazing and will be looking for her in other projects. By all means watch this movie. It's got many philosophical concepts that I won't go into. Watch and enjoy.

Help

[zuzumalkawidrake · 7/10 · 27 February 2020]

Please where can I watch it free Someone gives me the link

Awful.

[djmattn · 1/10 · 17 June 2020]

Predictable and totally ridiculous. Stay, crawl , beg, sit, bark, and fetch. I am surprised that brilliant piece of prose was not used or included in this dog of a movie. OMG! Feels like an NYU student flick. Woof.

POSITIVES & NEGATIVES...

[LoveFilmYesterday · 4/10 · 18 January 2023]

There were things that I liked about this movie. First, I liked that it was done for free (at least that no one was paid), because it shows that people can work together and get a good product starting in a difficult industry. Second, I liked that it was a unique cabin fever type of film that had a semi-complete story from beginning to end. However, the things that worked against the film are (1) the kidnapping theme because human trafficking is serious and should never be taken lightly to learn how to make a complete film from; and (2) this generation focuses too much on showing violence with no positive ending like self-defense or saving the future generation. The smallness of this film has a lot to be desired and the mindset of any new filmmaker should not be to shock and disgust, but to educate and inspire.

Dull

[agenericperson · 4/10 · 31 March 2024]

The premise is interesting. Can a kidnapper make his victim fall in love with him? Sadly, the film doesn't do much with it. Most of what goes on in the film is dreadfully dull. The stakes felt oddly low given the situation. It's clearly made on a budget so you just kind of have to accept some things. The acting is okay though. I liked the characters. Though they never really get developed. The story, especially the ending, is predictable. I wanted to like this one but there was so little here that was worthwhile. I just spent most of it bored. More needed to happen or the stakes needed to feel higher. It needed something that wasn't there. I wouldn't recommend it.

Good low budget film

[nyow · 10/10 · 6 February 2020]

Really good, has you wondering what's going on in her head all the way through
