A Stag Don't.

A group of guys travel to a deserted bar in the mountains where they plan to spend a night of alcohol-fuelled debauchery to celebrate the impending nuptials of pal Addison. Their evening of excess booze and sexy strippers is ruined, however, when an escaped female psycho-killer interrupts the fun and gets busy with a selection of sharp implements.

Bachelor Party Massacre is a cheapie slasher that attempts to mix scares, laughs, and sexiness in equal measures: with its remote locale, a deranged escaped lunatic, a collection of horny idiots ripe for the slaughter, and a couple of tasty lap-dancers who'll do anything for money, it certainly has many of the elements necessary for an enjoyably brainless piece of trashy horror fun. Unfortunately, despite having most of the right ingredients and loads of enthusiasm from nearly all involved, the film fails to transcend its low-budget amateur origins: shoddy production values, the wafer thin plot, unconvincing performances (particularly from Bay Bruner as the killer) and a lack of decent gore all go to make this one a less than impressive addition to an already overcrowded sub-genre.

The film works best when it's going for laughs or cheap titillation rather than scares, and the first half features plenty of fairly witty dialogue (the delivery isn't always great, but I appreciate the effort) and several steamy scenes featuring loads of bare female flesh (once again, much appreciated). Once the killing moves to the fore, however, Bachelor Party Massacre loses nearly all of its sense of fun, and turns into a dreary, routine, by-the-numbers body-count flick.
