TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

ben hibburd 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.

climbingtiger957 Get the popcorn out dudes this is a superb very good film all over ,no boring bits ,no soppy crap,just action and fun.im a top fan of British horror and this is amongst the best ,up with American werewolf in London.(phew that was hard to say)! The film is set in Scotland and goes from a few squaddies out on patrol,to absolute chaos .the whole film i think is made by spoon ,youre typical British squaddie , balls of British steel.the end scenes with spoon had me crying with laughter with a bit of sadness as well .the werewolves were top dog ! Im no expert on special effects but i would say the whole film team worked like dogs to put this lot together ,they is some creepy wolves.anyway ,top marks from me ,these were the days before films were not actually over run with cgi,and if you think its all over IT IS NOW !just to add there are some stupid reviews on here about quality of acting and nit picking stupid details ,the film is not aimed to be a Oscar winning classic ,just fun and action ,i can imagine the sort of people who moaned and gave it a 1 would rather watch some subtitled french crap about the life of a turd and sit down and spend 5 hrs trying to sound clever drippin on about what they just saw and discussing the bloody virtues of it all over a jaffa cake and herbal tea.DUDES ITS FUN JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE ,!!

Theresa Nguyen (theresan-23740) Honestly, when I first decided to watch this movie I wasn't expecting to like it too much. I was expecting a stereotypical, low-quality, werewolf movie that you'd find on Syfy to waste your time watching. However, the movie proved surprisingly good, especially after I found out it was a low-budget horror-comedy film. The movie did a great job of making the audience feeling like they're a part of the film with all of the up close shots and camera shots from the werewolf's point of view. The "gore" and different soldiers contributed to the comedic aspect of the movie and the "gore" and surprise of werewolves made the movie somewhat more of a horror movie than action. Many parts within the movie had me upset because some parts were confusing and upsetting, especially when the characters come up with resolution when it is no longer needed, which left me upset and screaming at the TV. I was always wondering what would happen next, and the few holes in the plot (especially at the end) left me a bit unsatisfied, questioning and wanting more background and resolution. This is not you typical cheesy werewolf movie; it has action, comedic and horror elements, and an end leaving you questioning everything that has passed and would come following it.

gwnightscream 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.
