Alicia I love this movie so much
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
lucasofoz I really enjoy black humour and this show satisfied me immensely. From the alpha male bullshit to the alpha male carnage, I was entertained from go to wo. It is a bit slasher, a bit cerebral, a bit python - what more could you ask for. I only hope they continue the story with another instalment.
Paul Evans The first point I'd make is how on earth do you classify Stag in terms of genre, as it crosses over into so many, it's that originality that perhaps made Stag such a winner. Before it started I had a pre conceived idea that it be similar to the Martin Clunes film with the same name, wrong! Stag is And then there were none, meets league of Gentlemen, meets Hot Fuzz. The humour is dark and subtle, the suspense is actually really well done and edgy. It's full of twists, constantly surprising, and the outcome will definitely have you guessing right through to the very end. Brilliantly acted by the entire cast, Rufus Jones and JJ Feild I thought were both particularly good. I found this on DVD, I had no idea this had been on, I later learned it was broadcast on Saturday nights, maybe that accounts for it having slipped past.9/10 A winner.
ewan_carmichael If you imagine a Christopher Brookmyre novel, one of the crazy ones, dramatised by the League of Gentlemen, then are somewhere close to Stag. A bit larger than life in places, and there are a few parts of the plot where things don't quite stack up.Smart, stylish, quirky and enjoyable. Not a comedy in the conventional sense. Not your usual horror, or crime programme, or drama either.Some great characterisation. Some of the truly unlikable people change in your estimation as the series progresses. And the ending was a big surprise.Well worth a watch.
Liam Ward Pretty good mini-series, might have worked better as a movie. It is very similar to movies like 'doghouse' and 'severence'It is listed as a comedy but is more like a cabin in the woods type dark comedy/slasher/horror than an actually comedy, i think its perhaps mislabeled as the only comedy involved is where drunk and high middle aged men get killed by doing stupid things.The acting is overall quite good, with quite a few recognisable faces in there (atleast enough for me to wonder where i knew the person from and go to IMDb to find out)8/10 looking forward to the next episode
