Attack of the camera man with Parkinson's disease
This has to be the strangest horror film I've ever seen...I'll list the
basics: Decent production values: Check Decent enough cast and not bad acting: Check Dark and atmospheric: Check Creepy and plenty of jumps: Check Great gore effects and plenty of blood: Check Decent soundtrack: Check All of the elements to make a good horror film for even the most demanding horror fans...So why on earth did the director feel the need to have his camera man shake the camera from side to side ALL THE WAY through the film??? It was nauseating, annoying, difficult to make out what was going on for most of the time. The action and horror scenes were extremely difficult to concentrate on...Underneath this was a very good horror film but it was totally ruined by the worst camera work I have ever seen in a film. I'll give it a 3 purely for what lies underneath but it loses 5 stars for the camera work...Hugely disappointing...Watch Creep instead, it's no classic but it holds the same premise and more importantly, you can see what's going on.. 
Quite good for what it is.
'Stag Night' tells the story about a group of male friends on a
bachelor party (aka Stag Night) who are thrown out of an NYC bar and on the way home on a night train in the NYC subway system. On the train, the male friends end up getting into a confrontation with a stripper and her female friend they met at the bar, forcing them to get off the train at the wrong stop. With no other train for hours, no cell service and strange noises lurking in the underground, our characters find themselves fighting for their lives against a group of feral characters living in the subway system. I first heard about this movie a long time ago, and finally got the chance to see it. I have to say, that for a Direct-to-DVD horror flick - it's pretty good. It's very reminiscent to the 2004 British horror 'Creep', and whilst it might have some clich. |
