Dog Soldiers (2002)

£0.00


Country: GB/LUX/US
Technical: col 105m
Director: Neil Marshall
Cast: Sean Pertwee, Kevin McKidd, Liam Cunningham

Synopsis:

A platoon of soldiers on a routine military exercise in the Scottish Highlands falls foul of a family of werewolves.

Review:

Grainily photographed, low-budget genre hybrid (The Lost Patrol meets the Wolf Man). The writing is pretty B-movie at times, and there are the usual contrivances of this kind of thing (monsters that move like lightning in the wild but slow to a snail's pace in the house); but it is pacily orchestrated, with suitably gruesome detail, and adroitly shot creature effects that expose just enough to thrill, without tipping into the risible.
