The excitement continues in the second episode of “London Kills,” titled “Stag Night.” This gripping crime drama, which airs on BBC America at 6:00 Pm on Thursday, November 14, 2024, dives deeper into the dark underbelly of London. The episode centers around a shocking murder that takes place during a bachelor party, setting off a chain of events that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.

In this episode, a bridegroom is found dead, and the circumstances surrounding his death are anything but ordinary. The crime is reported by the ex-husband of the bride-to-be, adding layers of complexity to the investigation. This twist raises questions about motives and relationships, making it clear that the world of love and commitment can sometimes lead to deadly outcomes.

As the detectives work to unravel the mystery, they will face challenges that test their skills and resolve. With each clue, the tension builds, and the stakes rise higher.

Sure, there's getting the bridal and grooms parties kitted out, organising the flowers, and making sure you juggle the guests so certain people don't end up killing each other, but the major part of planning any wedding is the respective Stag and Hen nights. Each one is different, but, as Ladbrokes found out in a recent survey, drinking and a change of location are usually top of the agenda. With my own un-rememberable Stag only recently behind me, my thoughts have gone to some memorable Stag and Hen parties from movie history. The Hangover Las Vegas is a top location for most Stag nights, with four out of five venturing to the gambling mecca to celebrate one last night of freedom. The Hangover takes the Stag night aftermath to the extreme, with the actual party being a very, very distant memory. Though, with tigers, gangsters, trashed hotel rooms, and Mike Tyson thrown into the mix,...

Fox 2000 has picked up Highrise, a thriller spec script from Peter Dowling. Jon Shestack, whose credits include Air Force One and Dan in Real Life, is on board to produce. The logline is being kept under wraps, but it's described as being in the vein of the Stephen King story and subsequent movie Misery, this time set in a Manhattan skyscraper. Dowling has a thing for contained thrillers. He was a writer on the 2005 Jodie Foster thriller Flightplan, which was set on a plane.

The Eli Roth-less 'Hostel: Part III' hits DVD and digital download later this month courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Scott Spiegel helms the third movie in the torturous trilogy which moves the action from Eastern Europe all the way slap-bang into Las Vegas. A stackathon of new stills from the threequel have popped over at Dread Central but gore-hounds may be disappointed that none of them are particularly revealing in the 'sickening' department so we guess you'll just have to pick up the DVD at the end of the month. Kip Pardue ('Stag Night'), Thomas Kretschmann ('Transsiberian'), John Hensley, Sarah Habel, Barry Livingston, Kelly Thiebaud (below), Brain Hallisay, Skyler Stone, Danny Jacobs, Chris Coy, Alicia Vela-Bailey and Gordon Michaels all star. Check out just some of the new stills and DVD artwork below. You can head over to the Dread Central link below for the rest!

Brit indie rockers Babybird recently collaborated with Pirates star Johnny Depp for a festive tune that has religious groups fuming. The actor lent his vocals to the track "Jesus Stag Night Club," which tells the story of a lap-dance loving Christ figure who boozes it up like a champ. Christian groups like the Focus on Family campaign and The Christian Coalition are not grinning at Depp and Babybird's humorous look at what Jesus does on his days off. (At least we know where to find him "resting" on the seventh day … ) Detractors are calling the song a "slap in the face" and a "disgrace." Babybird frontman Stephen Jones has shrugged it all off. "Some people have no sense of humor," he said. Christian Coalition...

London, Dec 5: Actor Johnny Depp has come under fire from religious activists for his new Christmas-themed track.

The 48-year-old teamed up with British rockers Babybird to record 'The Jesus Stag Night Club', which tells a story of a boozing Christ-like figure in a strip club. But the track has caused uproar amongst religious groups including the Focus on Family campaign.

'We are sickened by Mr. Depp's behaviour. Why did he need to record this song? It is a slap in the face to Christians all over the world,' contactmusic.com quoted a spokesperson as saying.

Johnny Depp has come under fire from religious activists for a new Christmas-themed track they've branded "filth".

The Pirates of the Caribbean star teamed up with British rockers Babybird to record The Jesus Stag Night Club, which tells a story of a boozing Christ-like figure in a strip club.

But the track has caused uproar amongst religious groups including the Focus on Family campaign.

A spokesperson says, "We are sickened by Mr. Depp's behaviour. Why did he need to record this song? It is a slap in the face to Christians all over the world."

Lee Douglas of The Christian Coalition adds, "I'm sure he thinks he's being very funny but he's simply a disgrace. One day, Johnny Depp and his cronies will face the judgment of our Lord and they will burn in hell for this filth."

Babybird frontman Stephen Jones has brushed off the controversy, insisting, "Some people have no sense of humour."...

Earlier this week we bought you news that Scott Spiegel's 'Hostel: Part III' would be hitting DVD shelves this Christmas and that the action would be moving to Las Vegas. And now in keeping with trailer Friday it's time to take a look at the first new trailer for the third installment that'll likely keep gore-hounds happy over the seasonal period. The trailer features gambling, drinking and topless strippers shaking their stuff, the usual Vegas feel and then of course the inevitable 'lights out' gas and the subsequent torturing ensues. Kip Pardue ('Stag Night'), Thomas Kretschmann ('Transsiberian'), John Hensley, Sarah Habel, Barry Livingston, Kelly Thiebaud (below), Brain Hallisay, Skyler Stone, Danny Jacobs, Chris Coy, Alicia Vela-Bailey and Gordon Michaels all star. Check out the new trailer, courtesy of Bloody Disgusting, and plot details below....

The Scott Spiegel helmed follow-up 'Hostel: Part III' appears that its going to be hitting DVD this December. So obviously no theatrical faith in the movie following director Eli Roth's previous two efforts then. But in spite of the odd release month thats rumoured the movie looks like it's set in Vegas and not in keeping with its Slovakian-based predecessors. We're not really sure just what this follow-up is going to be like but it looks to us like it's using the typical horror switcheroo for the third chapter which usually changes just about everything but still clings on to the main theme which in this case would be torture and gore. Kip Pardue ('Stag Night'), Thomas Kretschmann ('Transsiberian'), John Hensley, Sarah Habel, Barry Livingston, Kelly Thiebaud (below), Brain Hallisay, Skyler Stone, Danny Jacobs, Chris Coy, Alicia Vela-Bailey and Gordon Michaels all star.

The latest Creep clone, er, The Descent rip-off, oh wait, I mean companion to Stag Night - oh hell, consider it all of the above - is here. It's called Underground and we've got the trailer. This time, it's about some war buddies, and their girlfriends, who are up against a subterranean menace. The IMDb has the film listed under "drama." Right. Directed by Red Shoe Diaries vet Rafael Eisenman, the film's official synopsis goes like this: A group of friends fight for their lives against the lethal and ravenous creatures lurking beneath the Earth's surface. The group finds themselves at the mercy of creatures genetically engineered by the military to be expendable in battle. Though they fought countless battles in Iraq, these friends never knew real...

Jean-Claude Van Damme runs into some resistance in the form of Scott Adkins in Assassination Games.

International ass-kicker Jean-Claude Van Damme (Universal Soldier franchise) and rising star Scott Adkins (Stag Night) team up in the action thriller film Assassination Games.

In the movie, Brazil (Van Damme) is a contract killer, willing to take any job if the price is right, while Flint (Scott Adkins) left the assassin game after a drug dealer’s brutal attack left his wife in a coma.

When a contract is put out on the dealer, both Brazil and Flint want him dead – one for the money, the other for revenge. With crooked Interpol agents and members of the criminal underworld on their trail, the two assassins reluctantly join forces to take out their target before they themselves are terminated.

Writers: Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey.

The Tunnel is an independent Australian feature from The 135K Project production company and writers Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey. This feature is unique, by allowing fans of filmmaking to purchase frames from the production, to partially fund this film. Now, horror fans can freely download The Tunnel through legal bittorrents. Released May 19th, The Tunnel is a claustrophobic look at a creature living hundreds of feet below Sydney. Here, several news reporters find an exclusive news story that is very hazardous to their health.

The film begins with Natasha (Bel Delia), Peter (Andy Rodoreda), Steve (Steve Davis) and Tangles (Luke Arnold) venturing deep below grounds, in search of a horrifying news story. Apparently, several homeless people have disappeared in several pre-World War II bomb shelters. Their disappearances and rumours of lumbering monsters are also holding up a water recycling program.

Title: Stag Night Directed by: Peter A. Dowling Starring: Kip Pardue, Vinessa Shaw and Breckin Meyer The tagline to this film is: No matter what happens, stay on the train. The final lesson learned too late by all. The film starts off really quick. We don’t get to know a lot about our characters except that Mike (Kip Pardue) is the one getting married, his brother Tony (Breckin Meyer) is a notorious troublemaker, Joe (Carl Geary) is a family man (which spells death in any horror film) and Carl (Scott Adkins) is the slick ladies man. Because Tony is such a badass, they get thrown out of a stripclub, where Carl claims [...]...

Vanguard will release the exotic romantic comedy Bitter/Sweet, starring Kip Pardue and Thai actress Mamee Nakprasit, on DVD on May 24.

Kip Pardue and Mamee Nakprasit fall for each other in the romantic comedy Bitter/Sweet.

The 2009 movie tells the tale of American executive and coffee expert Brian Chandler (Pardue, Stag Night) who is sent to Thailand by his coffee mogul boss (James Brolin, Capricorn One) to inspect a crop for purchase. Upon arrival, Brian meets Bangkok PR executive Ticha (Nakprasit) who takes care of Thailand’s glamorous multi-talented diva Tata Young (played by herself). Though each has a love life of of his or her own, Brian and Ticha’s journey leads them from the cosmopolitan bustle of Bangkok to the picturesque coffee plantations of Krabi and to the slow realization that they were made for each other.

Written and directed by Jeff Hare, Bitter/Sweet picked up a...

The question has been asked repeatedly since the video nasty scare of the 1980s (and most likely even well before that), and nobody (especially the filmmakers involved) has felt compelled to answer it: who exactly are slasher movies for? Like any subgenre, they have a base that doesn’t usually stray too far from an easy sociocultural test-market-ready categorization, but frequently mix in elements that suggest that more people watch these movies than would ever freely admit to doing so. Further confusing the issue is Stag Night, a very minor entry in the horror canon that nonetheless inspires you to ask troubling questions about the necessity of the genre itself and its place in the cultural landscape. Basically, you can’t help but wonder whether or not you’re supposed to like the people that are being killed, or whether you’re supposed to be cheering for the largely mute...

As I sat down to watch the generic-sounding but slightly promising Stag Night, I popped on to the twitter to share my rambling thoughts. Within minutes I had a response from one of my coolest colleagues, Brian W. Collins (of Bloody-Disgusting and Horror Movie a Day infamy), who said something like "Dude, don't bother. It's like watching Creep while your cat scratches your crotch." (I'm paraphrasing, and yes I have a cat.) But despite his wise-ass comments, Brian knows fully well that I'm required (and of course happy) to throw 80 minutes at *any* potentially colorful horror flick -- especially if I'm going to, y'know, write a review of the thing. And hey, the blandly-titled Stag Night (it's...

Not a very busy week for horror releases on Blu-ray and DVD. At least The Twilight Zone: Season 3 is here to keep us busy for hours before we dig on the DVD premiere of The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu directed by Henry Saine and starring Kyle Davis, Devin McGinn, Matt Bauer.

In addition, Peter A. Dowling's Stag Night (starring Breckin Meyer, Scott Adkins, Kip Pardue, Karl Geary) and David A. Cross's Respire (starring Tracy Teague, Mat Wright, Vince Eustace, Jessica Keeler, Ellie Torrez) round up the offerings this week.

Release of the week goes to the new Twilight Zone: Season 3 Blu-ray. Cleaned up, crisp and featuring all 37 episodes and a ton of features, Twilight Zone fans couldn't ask for more. Season three also features a few of my personal favourite episodes including the post-apocalyptic "Two" with Charles Bronson, "The Shelter" which I'm sure you've seen parodied on The Simpsons. Seasons 1 and 2 are also out on blu-ray.

There's a new Wesley Snipes actioner out this week called Game of Death. Haven't seen it, but I hear its got a crap load of gun heavy action and Zoe Bell kicking serious ass. If you're a fan of hard boiled 90s actioners about CIA agents directed by dudes who wanted to be John Woo you'll probably like this. If you're not, you won't.

Also out this week is The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu about a down on his luck office...

Well,...

Director/writer: Peter A. Dowling.

Stag Night is a horror film completed in 2008 by first time director Peter A. Dowling (Flightplan). This title was filmed in New York City and much of the action happens below ground. Dowling has stated of this film that he liked the idea of having the protagonists so close to help, yet so far away (Fangoria). However, Stag Night is more of a warning not to get off at an unauthorized stop, than about finding help.

You should not pry open the doors on a subway car, unless you want to face a group of man/woman eating hobos. If you do, you will soon be on the run from a feral boy and his unshaven uncles. The best you can hope for is finding the next station to exit at.

You will have to find others who know the way out, before finding safety.

Stag Night is a low budget venture from first time director Peter A. Dowling (Flightplan) and this film, described as "story-wise the film is a cliche ridden tale that offers up no suprises" (Blogomatic), will be released on DVD February 15th. This film had some troubles finding distribution before settling with Ghost House Underground (Dance of the Dead), as Stag Night was completed in 2008. However, sometimes indies take their time to find an audience and Blogomatic3000 has also equated this film with "an enjoyable time." All aboard the Stag Night trailer below and check out the recognizable cast, which includes Breckin Meyer (Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare), Kip Pardue (Hostel III), and Vinessa Shaw from The Hills Have Eyes (Fearnet.com).

German writer-director Andy Fetscher is digging deep beneath the streets of Berlin to find terror.

Sounds like a mix of Creep , Stag Night and maybe The Descent .

“Halloween is one of my all time favorites,” continued Dowling of his love for Carpenter’s body of work, “and Assault on Precinct 13 is a great exercise in sustained suspense in a single location, as was The Thing.

Breaking News: Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively that Brian Hallisay ("Eastwick", "Bones") and Sarah Habel ("Party Down", The Butterfly Effect 3) will be starring alongside Kip Pardue (The Rules of Attraction, Wizard of Gore, Stag Night) in Hostel: Part III (Hostel 3). Being directed by Scott Spiegel from a screenplay by producer Michael Weiss, the interesting turn is that Hostel: Part III will head to Vegas where a bachelor party goes horribly wrong. Could the groom have a price on his head? Expect plenty more casting in the coming weeks. Shooting is set to begin next week. Eli Roth, who directed the first two films in the franchise, told Bloody Disgusting he has nothing to do with this third film.
