Not to be confused with Simon Cathcart’s British horror/comedy Stagknight, this film which was written and directed by the writer of Flightplan was a surprisingly effective chiller.
Following their ejection from a strip club and a further altercation on a train, four friends on a stag night in New York and two strippers find themselves at an abandoned subway station. They split up and decide to follow the tracks to the next station and find help in the form of a guard, only to see him hacked to pieces by a group of cannibalistic madmen. As the men detect the groups presence, the race is on to survive the night.
From the opening scene to the end credits, this film freaked me out thanks to its use of light and dark, sound effects and framing. The cast is solid which helps make the characters believable and likeable – we really do feel for them (admittedly some more than others).
This is one incredibly gory film which easily rivals Hostel and Wrong Turn in the guts and grue department with limbs being lopped off left and right, decapitations and impalements aplenty.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Stag Night has everything a horror fan craves; blood, guts, gore, tits, strippers, scares, shocks and some genuinely freaky moments. This is one stag night you definitely don’t want to miss.
