Sick Product of a Sick System

Great Film overall

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is what B movies are at their best. You love this film from the start. It's just so much fun. And the buildup of suspense is nearly perfect. By the time you realise what trouble they are in, and anticipate the roller-coaster that's on the way, you'll be on the edge of your seat. And by the time the werewolf siege starts, you'll be glad you didn't give this film a miss. The film has a worthy ending, very much in a B movie style. It delivers what it promises. Now, there are certain problems with it, which detract from the experience: 1. It is too long. There was no need to make this film as long as it is. 2. The subplot goes nowhere and just irritates the audience. 3. There are certain plot holes that were unnecessary. 4. The film indulges too much in gore and action, losing focus and rhythm at times. 5. The low budget shows at times, and I think they showed the werewolves a bit too much. 6. The design of the werewolves is fine, but I would have preferred something more in the style of The Howling.Other than that, the performances are great, the actors are having tons of fun, and the final result is a genuinely fun and entertaining film.

As a hardcore horror fan when it came to werewolf movie i felt quite embarrassed because i only know a few of them and most of it from the modern time.Utill this night i finally has the change to watch Dog Soldiers the debut movie from director Neil Marshall and it probably the best werewolf movie i ever seen since i watch An American Werewolf in London for the first time.For a low-budget movie it did a awesome job in the casting choice when none of any actors is famous at the time ,the movie took place in a isolation forest fit perfectly with the mood of the movie,great practical effect with the werewolf make up and how their didn't shown up completely until the final showdown near the end.The relationship of characters in this movie is flesh out really well when we get to know each character personality and how their interact with other make we care about their life even more when the werewolf started to showing up.There are many memorable moment in this movie like the first werewolf raid and one infamous scene of this movie involving a guy and a werewolf in the same room

Just so I don't forget, 'CONTAINS SPOILERS!'. I like how the movie started with the couple being attacked by a Dog Soldier in the tent. That was pretty decent. But, what I love most about this movie is the fact that it is an original idea. Not many movies these days are something original, It's either a remake or based off a book of some kind which even if the movie is really good, that does get kind of annoying just like this long review I'm writing. Another thing I love about this movie is the HUGE lack of CGI... that makes me so happy to see how much work and effort this team put into making this movie awesome! I honestly don't care for CGI, and if I ever make my horror script into my own film, it WILL NOT have any either, all makeup and props only. The only thing that I don't agree with on this movie is how fast a Dog Soldier can heal. it's like, instantly. Other than that, I don't think I have too many spoilers, but I rather be safe than sorry... I just wish they would make that Fresh Meat sequel I've been reading about for the last decade. If they do, I will love it too! also, this movie should have gotten a 7/10 star rating at least. and THANKS to whoever takes the time to read this review, sorry if it's a waste for you.

Dog Soldiers, a lot budget gore flick from the United Kingdom is hands down the best werewolf movies around. The two beginning scenes really set the mood and ruthless nature that director Neil Marshall portrayed. The werewolves aesthetically are tall, slender, and menacing, just really bad-ass looking. The kill scenes are really gruesome and credible looking. However, Dog Soldiers is more than just blood and guts, since there is a fair amount of laugh out loud moments and a certain intelligence to the dialogue. One particular scene that comes to mind, which was unsuspectingly hilarious was the scene that involved a hammer and a mail slot. Characters are well developed, have strong personalities and the actors themselves, ordinary looking, were extraordinary for this type of movie. Look for some entertaining scares and laughs out of Dog Soldiers, one of the first movies I saw that got me hooked on the horror genre.
