Stagknight (2007)
Stagknight is derived from the uncensored lusty straight-to-Drive-In horrors of the 70's and 80's, I Spit on your Grave, The Beast, Samurai Assisan, movies that spawned the mighty Evil Dead, American Werewolf in London, later Aliens. Set deep in dark mythical English woods Stagknight presents a uniquely stupid look at this genre through the cracked "Weekend Warriors" paintball team. This is mansville not boytown on a blow-out bachelor paintball weekender bender of dirty tricks, hot babes and truly splatter-tastic medieval kills to die for.

hyped garbage
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
It's fast-paced, slick, lively, deliberately silly/comical, and certainly a lot less dumb than myriad recent horror spoofs like "Transylmania." Some aspects are broad, but others are slyly unexpected, like the villainess' seduction scene with yuppie jerk Charles, and her mute giant brother's feelings toward the camp yet resilient gay guy. It's a deliberately crass movie, yet it's got some wit, energy and invention, certainly more so than most recent low-budget U.S. slashers (or spoofs thereof). As a semi-guilty pleasure, I've watched it several times and quite enjoyed it every time. My favorite performer was Martin Bayfield, absolutely. He does a sympathetic Igor/Frankenstein "monster" act with considerable charm.
Hmmm .. I do not even know where to begin writing, because I can simply sum it up by saying, "The film sucks big time." There weren't a single scene worth mentioning in this film. The horror was far between, and even that it weren't a bit scary.The jokes were crude, unfunny and lame.And the thick British accent, annoyed me to death. It is completely okay if the accent is original, but in this film, they tried very hard to speak the accent, is was quite painful to hear it for an hour and a half.I strongly recommend others to watch other film instead. Heck, even Hilton's 'Bottoms Up' film fared better than this.
What is it with British films, why do they always go on about body funtions, im sorry but when was it ever funny, Horror comedy i think not, seriously this film was just not funny at all, British humour in a horror film does not work on nearly every level, the film never took off, it was a mass of silly farting burping innuendos that is so boring and tiresome, oh lets watch a man with diarrhea on the toilet HA ha ha, give me a break, i suppose it being on the zone horror channel should have beed warning enough, and how many badly done accents were in this movie, who was who, why was it constantly dark, why was everyone wandering around the forest on there own doing nothing but waiting to be killed, all these questions totally unexplained. there's nothing worse than a film so far up its own assse, that it actually thinks its a comedy.
I sat through this movie yesterday night at the Holehead festival in San Francisco, and it's been a long 90 minutes. Dumb 'jokes', a totally brain-dead plot and characters that you couldn't care less about make for a really disastrous movie. The scripts takes cookbook pieces for a horror film, mixes them in a totally uninspired way and adds jokes that are not really funny. Oh, and most of the gory scenes happen in the off anyways ... probably due to budget constraints ... but that of course doesn't help the movie either. If your brain has it's day off today, you might want to consider watching this movie, otherwise ... stay away.
