Dog Soldiers

Any of you see this one? Pretty good for a low budget British flick.

Shanter · 10-29-2003, 06:59 PM

Did you say pretty good? I hope I'm not thinking about the movie where everyone is a fucking werewolf killing off an army squad all in an annoying british accent. I had to laugh my way through this movie, sorry but it's just plain aweful.

it was semi-decent until they got into the house

Ya, my really only big complaint was how, when they first introduced the werewolves they could disintergrate a man with a single leap but later on they can't kill an unarmed weekend warrior who can throw a few punches. They can punch thru car roofs but they sometimes have difficulty punching thru wooden doors. Inconsistencies like that were annoying. But it was entertaining, just wanted to know popular opinion. Werewolves don't get enough exposure in flicks. Enough sissy Vampires bring us the real beasts.

Second-best werewolf movie imo (American Werewolf in London being the best). The werewolf effects were very well done considering how low budget this movie was.

I'd put Silver Bullet above American Werewolf in London, but only by a hair.

I'll try to get this movie asap, I love werewolf movies.

Better than Underworld?

Was a really fun movie.
Nothing really clever, low-budget (although amusing) special effects, and some inconsistancies.
But really fun overall.

"unarmed weekend warrior"

Heh, they're supposed to be full time soldiers not territorials/national guard. And it's a damn decent representation of what real squaddies are like. Especially the language

I like the film a lot but know a few people who can't get past the low-budget rough edges and hate it.

I liked it a lot, but then I have something for werewolf movies, and allways get a thrill out of it. The fact that all the werewolves were made in animatronics, and all the special effects were "hand made" (understand no CGI) made it look much more realistic imo.
For info, the guy who designed the werewolves worked on Alien and Hellraiser (Bob Keen)
The ending (newspaper part) was kind of a joke, but oh well

Finally rented last night and I liked it.

Cybsled · 01-04-2004, 11:51 AM

The best Werewolf movie was Monster Squad, because Wolfman has nards!!!

Oakman · 01-04-2004, 03:25 PM

FYI the director of Dog Soldiers is doing a zombie flick now, can't wait.

Wrathcaster · 01-04-2004, 09:05 PM

woot! · 01-05-2004, 03:15 AM
