Dog Soldiers is the story of some British squaddies (soldiers) that are on a training mission that turns out to be a werewolf massacre. They're stranded with very little ammo and the sarge's guts have to be held in with superglue. Not a great situation.

It's very well done. The werewolves look great and move like a werewolf should. Too many movie-makers would have spent a billion dollars on the changing special effects and forgot the story. The only changes we get to see are done with contact lenses and fake teeth, and when the scene happens it's creepy as hell. That's the way it should be done, that's what horror is all about. If I want to see effects I'll watch some sci-fi or action. Horror is about the creepy, gimme the creepy and save your fx budget for blood and guts, and hopefully a good screenplay.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Isolation always makes me enjoy a horror movie more, I don't like the voice in my head to keep asking "why the hell don't they just leave?" So being stranded somewhere always makes for better horror, in my opinion.

This flick is fast-paced. When people talk about fast-paced, this is the type of movie they mean. There is no downtime, scene after scene of extreme violence, often over-the-top but never comical.

Of course, people are going to want to compare this movie to The Howling and An American Werewolf in London, two movies I love. I can't give a good comparison right now, it's been a while since I watched either. Dog Soldiers isn't really like either of them, but if I were going to name the best three werewolf movies these are the ones I'd name.

One of the character's names is Bruce Campbell and another named Harry G. Wells (H.G. Wells).

It's not one of my favorite movies of all time, but it's very well done and I'll definately hold on to my copy and watch it again.

8/10

Phenomenal! I love werewolf films and this is without question at least third best, perhaps even second, ahead of American Werewolf in London. Amazing what great work they pulled off with minimal budget. It is also nice to see someone take this great genre and treat it with the respect it deserves rather than spit on it like some.

The acting was top notch, the characters were extremely likable. I can not enjoy a movie with unlikable characters. The werewolves looked great. Hats off to Bob Keen for making another fabulous werewolf (He also created the beast in Waxwork). The movie flowed at such an exciting fast pace. It does not leave you bored for one moment. It adds a nice blend of action to the horror with ZERO COMEDY! The gore looks amazingly real and the werewolves were very frightening. It gives you a intense feeling of dread and isolation very similar to The Evil Dead.

I am very much anti-CGI so the fact that this movie pulled everything off with great make up effects and steered away from the low budget CGI cheese was very exciting. They also spared us a terrible looking CGI transformation scene. So what did they do you ask? They did not have a transformation scene because they knew they could not afford a good make up transformation. Rather they gave us what they could in a great way.

Note to all low budget film makers, you want to learn how to do your film the right way? WATCH DOG SOLDIERS, TAKE NOTES! Goes without saying that I highly recommend this film.
