Product Description 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. .com The Descent goes to the Big Apple (and undergoes a gender change) in this effective mash-up of slasher flicks and subterranean horror. After accidentally getting off at an abandoned subway stop in the wee hours of the morning, four squabbling bachelor partiers and a pair of club dancers find themselves hounded by a trio of jabbering, garden tool-wielding cannibals (all of whom resemble comics legend Alan Moore after a rough weekend). Debuting writer-director Peter A. Dowling does a commendable job utilizing his squalid, ill-lit underground surroundings (many of which would be freaky even under optimum conditions), but his film could have benefited from more sympathetic characterizations, instead leaving such talented performers as Kip Pardue and Breckin Meyer with little to do but run, curse, and scream manfully. That minor speed bump aside, this remains a swift and fairly nasty horror film featuring a few moments of real suspense, some frenetically energetic camerawork, and one completely gnarly use of a track switcher as a finishing move. --Andrew Wright

Can’t stop watching
Best Movie of all times. College and teens could definitely learn from staying off watching this

Concise and Straight-Ahead
Director Peter Dowling's obvious influences are John Carpenter and Walter Hill. If you like Carpenter's Escape From NY and Hill's The Warriors, you'll definitely like this movie but both of those earlier films are written all over this one--which I mean as a compliment.
R**.
Kind of like a Warriors horror film without the Warriors.
This could have been more engaging,the story tends to fall apart when introducing new sequences.By the end,what could have been a decent horror film,has been enacted otherwise without proper build up of plot.Action,but little else to savor the details.

Stag Night Delivers in a Big Way
I just got this today and popped it in.What I got was a great Slasher movie about Four guys ,Two of them brothers and Two exotic dancers coming home from a Stag party on a NYC Subway train.It gears up after Breckin Meyer's character gets maced by Vinessa Shaw's character for being a complete jerk and they have to get off the train because of the mace.Problem being it's the last train for hours and they end up getting stuck in the NYC subway so they have to venture into the tunnels.What they encounter are people that have lived in those tunnels for years maybe decades, some much more evolved than others. They run into four cannibalistic Neanderthal looking sub humans that roam the tunnels looking for victims to eat and oh they they also share bits and pieces with the wild dogs that they have housed in their humble abode that looks like a human butcher shop,but not at all clean or tidy.This is when the real fun begins.Kip Pardue,Breken Myer,Scott Atkins,Carl Geary and Vinessa Shaw are all excellent in their roles,the casting was very well done.If Vinessa looks familiar it's because she played the oldest daughter in the Hills Have Eyes remake. Stag Night is heavy on the gore which is always a plus, the lighting was well done and you could actually see what was going on most of the time.It's brutal and fast paced,not at all a hurry up and wait to get hacked up feel to it,I want to watch it again already.There are some endearing moments as well so it isn't without any sentiment or meaning.I usually don't care either way but viewing this I decided that I actually did like being endeared to a couple of these characters this gave it all the more impact.There are some really good fight scenes and a couple of surprising moments that lent to the flavor of the film..If I have one complaint and the only reason I held back a star and gave it 4 instead of 5 was the ending.I want to just pretend that I didn't see the last Ten seconds,BUT I did.I still give it 2 thumbs way up.Just think Creep meets Wrong Turn.
