STAG NIGHT is a genre-bending horror feature that follows Ian, a people-pleaser who reluctantly agrees to plan his old flame's bachelor party at his family's remote cabin. Desperate to impress, he enlists the help of the "Swivel Hips Party Bus," a charismatic troupe led by the enigmatic Eze, who promises an unforgettable, all-inclusive night of debauchery for a deal that seems too good to be true.
As the party kicks off, what begins as a rowdy night of drugs, strippers, and karaoke slowly unravels into a meticulously orchestrated descent into hell. Ian and the other guests soon discover that Swivel Hips are not just entertainers but performance artists in a nihilistic death cult, turning their list of bachelor party clichés into a series of brutal, surreal games of life and death. Forced to face the painful truths and unresolved tensions within their own group, the friends must fight not just their captors, but each other, to see the sunrise.
Tone: Think Rob Zombie doing an A24 film. STAG NIGHT uses a high-concept horror premise to explore themes of obsession, toxic masculinity, and the desperate lengths we go to be loved.
