Made in the style of Dog Soldiers but fails to come anywhere near to it. The script is out of a 14 year old boys classroom and the beast is over mysterious for too long. Didn't even make full use of a Scottish wilderness which can be awesome on its own. Characters on the verge of death are within minutes sitting around having long conversations. I've seen worse but that alone does not constitute a success.

When four friends embark on a reckless Stag Weekend across the vast and uninhabited plains of Dartmoor, they are unaware that the local legend of a monstrous wild beast thought to roam the moors is terrifyingly true.

That is until it starts to pick them off, one by one.

Stag hunt is a film that knows that its cheap, knows that its not going to get much acclaim, and knows pretty much as soon as its released, it will end up on someone's 'you may like this' list. Which is exactly where I found it.

And from the plot summary, i was expecting something in the vein of 'Doghouse', 'Wilderness', with a little bit of 'lads' comedy thrown in for good measure.

And i got exactly what I expected, and with the calibre of the aforementioned films, it was painful at times to watch.

We have the four stereotypical friends. The mouthy one, the sensible one, the by the books one, and the token fat bloke.

The majority of this film features our Fab Four walking along the moors, stopping to rest and drink beer, and be abhorrent to each other, because wahey!! This is a stag weekend, and all blokes are like this.

Every other night, the gang hear a roaring noise, and one by one, they become more concerned by the growling, so they do what any sane person would do, brush it off and carry on.

And that's the main problem with the film, there is no regency or thrills to the narrative, and you get tired of the fat jokes very quickly to the point that you want the aggressor to be the next victim.

Effects wise, it's your basic screaming man being dragged away by cameramen from a decent angle, and very quick glimpses of a creature.

But as the film goes on, you amazingly become endeared to the characters, and start to cheer for them using your inside voice, and then the film drags to an end, an end that is very disappointing to say the least.

It's not a terrible film by any means, it's just a highly unoriginal, seen it all before low budget horror-comedy, which will get lost in the 300 plus films this sub-genre has.
