Review of Stag Night

Four men out in New York celebrating stag night get thrown out of a nightclub due to Tony (Meyer) being a jerk. Younger brother Mike (Pardue) is the groom, and the four of them jump on the subway to head for more partying. Tony strikes again on the train when he pisses off a coupe of erotic dancers and the six of them prematurely exit the train and get left behind. They decide the only way out is to walk to the next station. Not in the greatest of moods, the six of them see three huge cannibal men attack and slice up a cop. These cannibals are brutal beings who rule the underground area that is unused since the 1970's. Once the group is discovered by the cannibals they start to hunt them and a fight for their lives ensues. Not the most original idea to come down the pike, but first time Director and Writer Peter A. Dowling makes good use of the underground setting and makes this film entertaining and at times scary. The characters are well written and acted and the cannibals are quite ferocious. The movie has decent gore and some of it is disturbing. The pacing is fast and the characters are someone you can root for a change. This is straight ahead horror that achieves what it sets out to do.
