Director: Marc Forster
Ambition turns into something far darker in Stay, a 2025 horror film directed by Marc Forster that follows a rising model and influencer whose hunger for success pulls her toward a fight she never expected.
What is Stay about?
Olivia has built a career on visibility, and every follower gained feels like proof she is finally getting somewhere. That drive pushes her toward a decision so extreme it changes the shape of her life overnight, opening a door she cannot easily close again. What follows is less about the industry that made her famous and more about the toll of that single choice, as the consequences reach into places far more personal than her career. The film uses her rise as a backdrop for a much stranger reckoning, one where the pressure to keep climbing collides with something she cannot outrun or out-market.
Cast & crew
Ewan McGregor, Ryan Gosling, and Naomi Watts lead an ensemble that also includes Kate Burton, Elizabeth Reaser, Bob Hoskins, Janeane Garofalo, and BD Wong, giving the film a deep bench of familiar faces around its central story.
Context & significance
Stay is a 2025 American production with an 85-minute runtime, positioned as a horror entry that leans on psychological unease rather than outright spectacle, and its focus on influencer culture gives the genre setup a distinctly contemporary edge. The tight runtime keeps the escalation brisk, moving from social-media ambition to genuine dread without much room to slow down.
Where & how to watch
Stay is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, so Farsi-speaking audiences can follow the tension and dialogue without relying on subtitles. Watching requires nothing more than a free account login, the page itself is open to read without one, and the platform is built around a Farsi-first streaming experience for the Iranian diaspora.
