Shadowed by a haunting presence in the redwood forest, five young hikers discover an abandoned goldmine dating back to the Gold Rush and descend into madness and greed as the pursuit of easy riches consumes them. STAY OUT STAY ALIVE depicts the struggle of human nature and the curse of insatiable greed, and poses the questions "What would YOU risk - what would YOU sacrifice - for unimaginable wealth?" After an earthquake plummets Donna - one of the hikers - down a mine shaft where she is pinned under a rock, the group must choose between saving their friend or taking their time to unlawfully mine the forbidden gold for themselves. As the group degenerates into conflict, a ghostly remnant of the mine's past ratchets up the horror of the unfolding events. 

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS: 
STAY OUT STAY ALIVE is based on true events and inspired by both the California Gold  Rush-era Mariposa Indian War and the curse of Chief Tenaya issued as a  result of that conflict between gold miners and Native Americans, as  well as the current phenomenon of people exploring the 500,000 abandoned  mines across the U.S. and falling afoul of the hazards these mines  pose.

This is the horror film about more than ghosts and the curse, but what people may do for wealth, no matter the costs. That sometimes, what has happened in the past will happen in the future. And in the long run, there really isn’t honor among thieves, at least for some in this movie. As the group degenerates into conflict, a ghostly remnant of the mine's past ratchets up the horror of the unfolding events. 

This is a haunted house and terror in the woods psychological horror set beneath the ground. It is an okay film, needed a bit more depth to the characters and more with the ghosts.

I give Stay Out Stay Alive 3 1/2 stars
