Stag Night (2009) is a gritty, low budget horror film, written and directed by Peter A. Dowling. Produced by Arnold Rifkin and Chris Eberts, under their Rifkin/Eberts label, and Michael Philip and Jo Marr of Film Tiger, the movie was shot in 2007 in Sofia, Bulgaria and posted at "The Post Group", Hollywood, Los Angeles in 2008.
Starring Kip Pardue, Vinessa Shaw, Breckin Meyer, Karl Geary and Scott Adkins, Stag Night is about four men on a bachelor party in New York who ride the subway and, along with two strippers from the club, accidentally get off at a station that closed down in the 1970s. Trapped in the tunnels beneath New York, they witness the murder of a transit cop by three psychotic transients and find themselves on the run for their lives.
The movie also stars Sarah Barrand, Rachel Oliva and Luca Bercovici.
Running in almost real time Stag Night is a throwback to the early movies of John Carpenter and '70s thrillers such as Deliverance while the plot bears a certain resemblance to that of the classic British horror film Death Line.
