This lean, efficient horror flick stands well above most bloated blockbusters. Dog Soldiers follows a military squad on a training mission in the Scottish wilds, where they run into a pack of werewolves. There's nothing fancy about the plot--the soldiers hole up in a farmhouse and desperately try to fend off the werewolves until dawn--but the script is full of smart dialogue and clever ideas, the direction is dynamic, and the performances (from Kevin McKidd, Sean Pertwee, Emma Cleasby, and Liam Cunningham, among a solid cast of relative unknowns) are strong and committed throughout. Dog Soldiers pays homage to Night of the Living Dead, Aliens, and The Evil Dead, among other films, but the references are woven into the fabric of the movie. An unpretentious, tension-inducing flick like this is a pleasant reminder that even crude special effects can be more evocative than expensive computer flashiness. --Bret Fetzer

ecxellent unknown military horror.......2007-06-18

great independent lower budget gem. This is the same guy who made The Descent, if you are a horror fan than this is worth checking out, a diffent spin on the old werewolf fims.

great movei.......2007-05-12

I think this is one of the better werewolf movies around. The special effects aren't great but over all it isnt your regular run of the mill werewolf movie. If you like off the beaten path movies then you will like this one.

"Dog Soldiers".......2007-04-07

I surprisingly enjoyed this movie. It is a little choppy and hard to understand what is going on at first, but it is well worth the watch. Especially if you are a werewolf movie fan.

Enjoyable.......2007-04-07

It's always fun to watch those jokers across the pond trying to be scary. It's a class B horror movie; Bad writing, predictable plot, cheesy acting, and high school drama club effects.

Entertaining Army vs. the Monsters.......2007-04-05

Effective well-done action horror film. A squad of British soldiers on a routine exercise in the remote hills of Scotland find themselves stalked by a group of werewolves. Holing up in a remote farmhouse with a helpful and attractive zoologist, they make a last stand as the monsters lay siege. With fine performances and richly colored camerawork, there is a lot here for the afficianado looking for something to watch before the next great horror film comes along. There are knowing nods to a range of films from Night of the Living Dead to Zulu. The soldiers are a real team and the major source of conflict comes with a mysterious 'special ops' officer they are forced to carry with them who clearly knows more than he is saying. There is a lot of blood and some internal organs on display but nothing too beyond the pall except perhaps for one scene involving an overly playful (or hungry) dog. The film has a quiet sense of humor as well as a feel for suspense. There will be nothing too surprising here for anyone who has watched a lot of horror films but it is all very well done and fun to watch. The film was released directly to DVD in this country. The DVD is not overloaded with extras but has enough. Highly recommended.
