Stag Night is a 2008 American horror film directed by Peter A. Dowling. The story takes place in the subway
tunnels beneath New York City and follows a group of people who, after exiting a train, are hunted by masked
men living underground.
Scott Adkins plays the role of Carl, one of four men out celebrating the bachelor party of Mike (Kip Pardue).
The group also includes Mike’s brother Tony (Breckin Meyer) and their friend Joe (Karl Geary). After Tony gets
into a fight at a strip club, the group is thrown out and decides to take the subway to continue the night
elsewhere. On the train, they encounter two women: stripper Michelle (Sarah Barrand) and her friend Brita
(Vinessa Shaw).
Unlike in most of his later work—where Scott Adkins is known for dominating action scenes and defeating his
opponents—here, in the earlier stages of his career, he plays a secondary character who is eliminated early in
the film and does not engage in any fight choreography.
The film includes elements of horror, survival, and pursuit. The masked antagonists do not speak in full
language but communicate with primitive grunts. Carl is among their first targets.
When Tony makes an unwanted advance on Brita and she defends herself with pepper spray, the group exits the
train when it stops at a station. The train leaves without them. The station turns out to be abandoned and no
longer in use. Mike, Tony, Joe, and Brita choose to walk through the tunnel toward the next station, while Carl and
Michelle stay behind.
At this point, Carl is involved in a romantic scene with Michelle. During this moment, he is suddenly attacked from
behind. Staying true to his physical screen presence, Carl immediately gives chase. However, he soon becomes
one of the first fatal victims of the masked tunnel dwellers. His character is killed off around the 25-minute mark.
