Stag Night (2008)
Director: Peter A. Dowling
Writer: Peter A. Dowling
Cast: Kip Pardue, Vinessa Shaw, Breckin Meyer
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.

While journeying back on a subway train from a bachelors night out, the best man starts to sexually harass two female passengers, the women pull the emergency stop cable and get off. Not wanting to leave these poor girls stranded the groom asks the best man and two other friends to get off the train as well, to make sure the girls are OK, only the train sets back off and leaves the six people stranded in a remote unused part of the subway network. It's not long before they stumble on a gang of underground cannibal maniacs while they kill a security guard, the group are left to flee and hope they can reach a station and get back to the surface.

Had a few harsh critics this but I personally thought it wasn't an half bad first feature from director Peter A. Dowling. The acting's OK, the blood'n'gore when it starts to flow is done with quality FX, the cannibals themselves are done well they look like the missing link between apes and humans, the plot though nothing ground breaking is interesting enough. The downside to the package is the pace and the repeating locations (if you remember Scooby Doo mid case when he's running from a monster and the backgrounds all the same you'll know what I mean). Yeah its no modern masterpiece and is a little too much like Creep for it's own good, but it's worth the view.
