Four men out on a STAG NIGHT in New York prematurely exit an underground train after the soon-to-be-best-man begins to hassle two women. Trapped at a deserted station these six adults become the target of a gruesome manhunt when a secret gang of cannibal dwellers, living in the tunnels discovers them. Tensions will rise as they fight to make it through the night with all their limbs attached.I am almost ashamed that I waited this long to see "Stag Night". For some reason I just never got around to watching it until two nights ago. Wow. This film was furious and stressful to watch. In a good way. I first thought it was going to be lame because of the set up. A group of guys out for a bachelor party thing. Thinking it would be another rich kids on wrong side of town flick I flippantly sat down to this film and began having my nerves shot and my mind knotted.First off the film is shot in a very gritty and visually dark manner similar to "Mimic". The golden shadowy glow that makes me think of candle light for some reason. Anyway. It becomes more like an urban legend on steroids. The concept of a whole barbaric and viscous world under the city were what comes down gets eaten is raised to a high energy fright train of a ride for this group of guys who along the subway ride meet up with a couple of girls and things don't go as planned.The film kinda starts a little slow at first but as soon as they step off the train and release their error this little flick does not let up until the very last second of the film. The action is fast paced and intense. The drama is in your face and truthful to the experience if it really could happen. You would actually feel this is how you would act. Well me I would have worked like a motherf*cker on that d*mn chain and lock on the abandoned station doorway until it f*cking broke and got my sorry a$$ up and out.One by one the characters are chased down and brutalized in a flat out gore rich pounding from psycho hyper-disturbed cannibal homeless clan. This is fear of the tunnel people amplified. Use to be rats, gangs, regular subway homeless and the occasional C.H.U.D. was all you had to worry about but now you have blood thirsty amped up cannibals ready to run you down and gut you like a pig.The story was great. Little dialog other than necessary to convey terror and heavy on the action and violence. The cast made you believe every gut wrenching moment of there nightmare tunnel trip. This film is a great horror tale spun from urban legend that I am truly ashamed to say I missed when it first came out. Glad I took the time to sit down and watch this flick.

It is hard to review this movie because you can't see much of it. Way to much of the X-treme shaky camera, perhaps because Toby, the DP, thought he was working on Tremors (a drunken rehab film)which required him to go through a specialty course in dipsomania photography.Hint: When you really don't have a film, shake the camera a lot and draw attention to the camera not the plot. "Look mom, I can shake the camera and not hold it still, even for a second". Mom: "Good job, Toby, now go out into the world and make films".That and the 'subway' dark lighting scheme, means you couldn't see a thing or make out an image because of poor lighting and way overuse of shaky cam. Shaky cam plus bad lighting equals crap footage.The story was about a couple of 'stag' guys stranded with a couple of strippers in the tubes of NYC while being pursued by several 'inbred tunnel rats'. That is the high concept summary. So don't waste your time on this stinker. Go rent Wrong Turn 1 & 2 instead. They are far superior films about hillbilly inbreds.The director and cinematographer need to take Horror Movies 101.1) Try and have sympathetic characters. None of the charactersin this movie should remain alive at the end. Did I actuallyroot for the 'tunnel rats'...I forgot.2) Always and I mean always have the chicks in tight, cleavageshowing clothes. Stag Night actually even hasstrippers, but covers them up like they were nuns. Bad decision.3) Use and employ make up artists. It is amazing what they cando (as in Wrong Turn). Here the make up was so bad, I wonderif they just got some local bums to do the role. You never really saw them indicating a cover up for poor make up job.4) Have a plot somewhat unique and different from the hundredsof others before you. Simply ripping off Wrong Turn does notmake a good film.5) Use your setting to your advantage. Camera was so shaky I wonder if they shot in a tunnel or someone's living room.This could have been a great chance to really use the wonderfultunnels of NYC and all the weirdness and wonder they contain.6) Maintain tension and relief. This film does neither.

Mindless violence...Bad Scripts and no plot whatsoever. That is what you will experience if you see "Stag Night" It was one of those boring Sunday afternoons that I glimpsed this flick--believe it or not..on afternoon cable! I love horror films but HATE horror films with no thought of a plot development and because the writers cannot ekke out a decent script, they resort for their characters to use the F word every two seconds.OK! the "plot" is that a group of male revelers who are celebrating a buddy's impeding marriage go out to a strip bar...hence "stag night" After a boozy night, they stagger to the subway...and trust me, even in New York the late night subways aren't THAT deserted! While on route in the subway car, one of the male group gets crude with two female riders. A fight breaks out in the subway car that has stopped in the tunnel--the battling group incredibly gets out at an abandoned subway stop. But they get more problems---There have been the urban legends of a subterranean society--mostly comprised of homeless psychotics that live beneath YOUR subway tunnels!! Witnessing a cop being murdered by these psycho (and cannibalistic I think) hobos, you will spend about 90 minutes of seeing these murderous cave man like bums chase the group---heads will explode,rape, decapitation and creepy bugs will entertain you! Then as you expect the film to give you a good ending to this mess--forgot it! You will get bupkus! So please by pass this boring slasher flick---Boring mindless violence!

Add all the right elements to the Horror movie mix....several friends, some girls some guys. Place them into disturbing surroundings that makes them unsettled, Namely: a deserted Subway....works great. Add several more Psycho Homeless people hungry for murder and you have... "Stag Night." I've given this one a "3" but with one minor adjustment it could have been as good as....say..."Wrong Turn." but sadly the Director didn't believe his project was scary enough so the "Shake the Camera" was given the thumbs up....and 'Oh man did they shake it. Just as things were really getting moving I had to turn the DVD off lest I would have spent the remainder of the night throwing up from motion sickness.....Yes it was that bad....hard to make out what the hell you were watching at times.....Directors Alert.....let the "Shake the Camera" style die or your audience may get up and leave.......I sure did.
