Storyline

- TriviaScott Hamm was writing the movie while he was shooting Cobra Kai on location in Atlanta. It is on that set where he got the name for his character in the film, Hayden. Named after one of the shows producers and creators Hayden Schlossberg.
- GoofsIn the second minute, Hayden says in a phone conversation to his friend from his friend's house, "I'm gonna drink some of your beer and some of your food..." which makes no grammatical sense.

Good things here and there
Greetings from Finland!
I really enjoy movies with a "small group stuck in an isolated place" setting. With few characters you get to know them better when there's more time for each one individually. 'The Stay' does take advantage of this. There is a lot of dialogue between the four main characters and you do get to understand their motives.
But. The actual dialogue is not very interesting and the more you get to know these main characters, the more annoying each one of them become. It didn't take too long until I began to wish they would all face a gruesome death.
Unfortunately despite the setting The Stay is no slasher and you are forced to spend a long time with these characters before the terror begins. And when it does begin, the killings are not imaginative or brutal enough.
The acting was not super good, but I think the bigger problem was the uninteresting and excessive dialogue between the couples. Bo-Lee's actor did a fine job.
I did enjoy the scenery and the camera work was very good. Points for that.
All in all I give a lot of respect for this independent production and have no doubt that mr. Hamm will make a more kickass film in the future. This time though I can't give more than a 4/10.
