I saw this short at a local short film festival and was already excited when on the program it was the only film with a warning of the violence in it.

Didn't disappoint, grabbing from the start then pulling you back to the set up to the start. It's funny, we enjoy the characters, we feel like we know them and are part of the group and 'stag do' until it's too late. 

This is where the film changes tone from a comedy to a nightmare, we suddenly can't turn back, can't go back. From there the last minutes play out making the situation worse and worse before it ends. It holds you there not knowing weather you should laugh or cry or never go outside again.

The performances are generally good and it's well made but most of all it's a joy to watch and doesn't need a deeper meaning other for entertainment to be good. 

This is what independent short films should be like, that's my opinion but in a world of down beat serious drama shorts it's nice to see something like 'Stag Do' and though I don't know how many people will ever see this if you do it's 10 minutes you won't regret.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
