Screener Squad: Stay

STAY MOVIE REVIEW

One of the most famous and spooky scary EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) ever documented was the phrase “Get out of my house”. Often a haunted house tale is a story of a restless spirit that doesn’t want anyone in its space and someone figuring out why it’s so restless. Move on? I don’t think so, you move on! What if a spirit didn’t demand your departure? What if a ghost wanted you to Stay? Writer/director Jas Summers presents for your Halloween viewing pleasure, Stay. MIlestone ‘Miles’ Williams (Mo McRae) is a former MMA fighter who has lost the will to compete in the ring and is about to lose his marriage to Dr. Kiara Guillory-WIlliams (Megalyn Echikunwoke). We are talking boxes packed and marked in permanent ink “My Stuff” and “Your Stuff”. On the day of leaving their forever home behind, they come to find that the house is refusing to let them leave. Kiara will use her special set of skills to attempt to communicate and exorcise the house while Miles must find the iron will he once had to support them both through the night. Bradly, Kate, and Lewayne discuss the elevated horror genre and whether or not the cinema world has had enough ghost trauma. They also praise the acting while dissecting the script, and throw in some fun MMA trivia for our few sports fans. We know there’s at least two of you out there!

Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)

Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.

 

Kate Chambers (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)

Kate is a certified horror fiend and Horse Girl™. Her name isn’t short for anything. A native Austinite, she graduated with a BFA in Film Production from the University of Colorado Boulder then returned to the Lone Star State to make her home amid the cinephiles of the Alamo Drafthouse and the Austin Film Society. In her spare time, you can find her either down at the barn with her noble steed Jazz, watching as many movies as possible (often at work), cuddling with her pair of black cats and writing horror scripts, or nursing a beer in any available body of water… or doing Duolingo, where she’s currently on a 1000+ day streak.

 

Lewayne White (Screener Squad)

Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
