Group of men on a bar hopping bachelor party take the subway to go to the next stop. When the car stalls at an abandoned subway station the men, along with a couple of girls they met on the train, get out. Unfortunately the train leaves without them. Soon they find themselves being hunted by the cannibalistic tunnel dwellers.
What is it about the subway that inspires filmmakers to imagine that they are haunted by flesh eating people? There has been any number of stories over the years, from Creep to Midnight Meat Train to lord knows what else. Now comes Stag Night and I'm left to wonder if there is any life left in the mini-genre.
Frankly this is a tired retread of a film. We've been down this corridors before and the film adds nothing new. That would be fine if the film had any connection to reality, which it doesn't. The film was made in Sofia Bulgaria which looks nothing like New York. All of the subway stations are these huge cavernous rooms covered in graffiti that look unlike any I've ever seen in any location anywhere. Nothing feels real.
Its not a bad film, but it should have been better. Clearly shooting in Sophia ruined any chance that the filmmakers could have created any sense of claustrophobia (and did I mention everything is much too well lit for abandoned tunnels). The cast is game, the script is kind of serviceable in a clichéd sort of way but the locations and some other technical aspects sink what would have been solid run of the mill film.
I'd take a pass.
