Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Madilyn Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
djderka It is hard to review this movie because you can't see much of it. Way to much of the X-treme shaky camera, perhaps because Toby, the DP, thought he was working on Tremors (a drunken rehab film)which required him to go through a specialty course in dipsomania photography.Hint: When you really don't have a film, shake the camera a lot and draw attention to the camera not the plot. "Look mom, I can shake the camera and not hold it still, even for a second". Mom: "Good job, Toby, now go out into the world and make films".That and the 'subway' dark lighting scheme, means you couldn't see a thing or make out an image because of poor lighting and way overuse of shaky cam. Shaky cam plus bad lighting equals crap footage.The story was about a couple of 'stag' guys stranded with a couple of strippers in the tubes of NYC while being pursued by several 'inbred tunnel rats'. That is the high concept summary. So don't waste your time on this stinker. Go rent Wrong Turn 1 & 2 instead. They are far superior films about hillbilly inbreds.The director and cinematographer need to take Horror Movies 101.1) Try and have sympathetic characters. None of the charactersin this movie should remain alive at the end. Did I actuallyroot for the 'tunnel rats'...I forgot.2) Always and I mean always have the chicks in tight, cleavageshowing clothes. Stag Night actually even hasstrippers, but covers them up like they were nuns. Bad decision.3) Use and employ make up artists. It is amazing what they cando (as in Wrong Turn). Here the make up was so bad, I wonderif they just got some local bums to do the role. You never really saw them indicating a cover up for poor make up job.4) Have a plot somewhat unique and different from the hundredsof others before you. Simply ripping off Wrong Turn does notmake a good film.5) Use your setting to your advantage. Camera was so shaky I wonder if they shot in a tunnel or someone's living room.This could have been a great chance to really use the wonderfultunnels of NYC and all the weirdness and wonder they contain.6) Maintain tension and relief. This film does neither.
tattooedmunky75 This was one of those movies you're immediately not surprised went straight to video. The plot is essentially the same as Judgement Night, only replacing Dennis Lery and crew with the Geico cavemen. Even looking at the lovely Vinessa Shaw doesn't make this movie tolerable. If you miss this one, you're life will be better for it. A group of friends out for a bachelor party team up with a couple of strippers, get off at the wrong station on the subway and end up being stalked by a trio of bloodthirsty hobos who bear a striking resemblance to the guitarist from Soundgarden. Think The Hills Have Eyes, in a subway and with less originality or acting. Bad effects, lots of fake blood and no logical explanation why or how these rabid hobos suddenly decided to go all Manson family leave you wondering how such a generic waste of film could have attracted Breckinridge Meyer or Vinessa Shaw, who both have somewhat respectable film careers (until now). I won't spoil the ending for you, only because there's really nothing to spoil. The entire film left me wondering why I didn't just change the channel.
movieman_kev A group of jerks are out celebrating a bachelor party being held for one of their own. They are on the subway when two of them decide to hit on the only other people on the train-car, two woman, one of whom is enamored with the attention. However, the other is less than thrilled and promptly maces her would be Casanova at which point forces the subway train's doors open and they all get out at this non-stop. Wait... What??To say this film gets off to a shaky start is quite apropos, but then the underground cannibalistic denizens make their debut and it's enough to make one wish for the dubious entertainment value of Bud the CHUD. At least he wasn't shaky-cammed more than "The Bourne Identity" As the minutes stretch on so very slowly, it will dawn on you that the film will not be getting any better (despite the mediocre yet serviceable acting) but by this time you'll be too late.My Grade: Deye Candy: Sarah Barrand briefly bares her right breast, alas, not enough to keep the viewer from falling asleep
ZombieSteak .com This movie should be called "Attack of the Ninja Cave Men Hobos" that title pretty much explains the entire movie. The movie starts off immediately with pretty much no character history or connection and continues this way until the end.I'm not saying it was bad. I think Ninja Cave Men Hobos are actually pretty cool and I think you're weird if you don't. I'm just saying I wouldn't expect anything super awesome or amazing about this movie. It was a decent flick, It wasn't boring, the acting was better then your average horror movie. Not much else to say about this one.ZombieSteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed just for you.
