Very Cool!!!
Just perfect...
Absolutely Fantastic
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
I remember when this movie 1st came out. I'm not a big fan of werewolf movies, but I liked some of the actors in this movie. Irecorded it, & my Brother came by to watch it with me. IT DID NOT DISAAPOINT!!! We were excited because we figured thier would be good movies released on SyFy channel. Boy, were we wrong!! It's a pity that this is one of the few SyFy channel's released movies that are worth watching!! It's a different concept with a great cast, setting, and story. It start fast, then kinda slows down for about 10 minutes, then it nevers let's go!! I would highly recommend putting this in your movie queque as it will never disappoint!!
Dog Soldiers is written and directed by first timer Neil Marshall, and is a low budget, stripped down British horror film, that sees a military unit embarking on a routine training exercise in the Scottish highlands. Things soon take a nightmarish turn when they encounter a pack of werewolves hellbent on ripping through them.When I picked up a copy of Dog Soldiers from my local film store, I thought the film looked pretty goofy, but the title of the film piqued my interest enough to buy it. Going into the film I didn't have a-lot of hope, but what I ended up getting out of it was one of the best werewolf films I've seen. The core group of soldiers all had good chemistry between them, despite not being given much depth to work with. Sean Pertwee and Kevin McKidd both give standout performances, though they are given the most to do.The main gripe I had with the film, was the tone of it. At times I felt the film was trying to be too serious for its own good. Whilst there were a couple of moments of levity, it didn't feel enough, and the tone in some scenes clashed. However one of the best, and most important aspects of the film was the costume design for the creatures, this is what film hinged on. Thankfully for a shoe string budget they manage to do a convincing job, even if they had to hide the transformations due to budget.The screenplay is fairly standard, and doesn't offer much to further the lore or style of werewolf films. What the film does to it's benefit, is to scale itself down, and turn into a siege movie. The soldiers take refuge in a small run down cottage, where they're constantly repelling the werewolves attacks. Neil Marshall excels at this style of film- making, where tensions rise in enclosed spaces, something in-which he would later go on to perfect in his career with 'The Descent'.Over-all Dog Soldiers does have a few small issue's, at times the camera can become overly shaky, especially in the beginning of the film, which makes it hard to see what's going on. There are also a couple of plot elements that felt like they came out of left field. Whilst these issue's slightly bothered me, Dog Soldiers is a well executed genre film, that's not afraid to be gruesome when it needs to be, and that makes for fantastic entertainment.
Dog Soldiers, a lot budget gore flick from the United Kingdom is hands down the best werewolf movies around. The two beginning scenes really set the mood and ruthless nature that director Neil Marshall portrayed. The werewolves aesthetically are tall, slender, and menacing, just really bad-ass looking. The kill scenes are really gruesome and credible looking. However, Dog Soldiers is more than just blood and guts, since there is a fair amount of laugh out loud moments and a certain intelligence to the dialogue. One particular scene that comes to mind, which was unsuspectingly hilarious was the scene that involved a hammer and a mail slot. Characters are well developed, have strong personalities and the actors themselves, ordinary looking, were extraordinary for this type of movie. Look for some entertaining scares and laughs out of Dog Soldiers, one of the first movies I saw that got me hooked on the horror genre.
This 2002 horror film stars Sean Pertwee, Kevin McKidd, Ian Cunningham, Emma Cleasby, Darren Morfitt and Chris Robson. This takes place in Scotland where a squad of army soldiers on a training exercise become attacked by werewolves in the wilderness. Pertwee (Gotham) plays Sergeant, Wells, McKidd plays Private, Cooper aka "Coop," Cunningham (Game of Thrones) plays Captain, Ryan, Cleasby plays Zoologist, Megan, Morfitt plays Private, Witherspoon aka "Spooner," and Robson plays Private, Joe. This is pretty good, the cast is decent and there's good make-up effects. If you enjoy werewolf/horror flicks, I recommend checking this one out.
