Disappointment for a huge fan!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I surprised myself with this one, I have to admit! I purchased this film on a whim and sat down with a packet of crisps and fairly low expectations- it's a sexist horror movie, normally the sort of thing I deliberately avoid. The moment I saw that Stephen Graham, Noel Clarke AND Lee Ingleby were in this, though, I had to see it to find out if it was good. Well, how surprised I was by the end of this ninety minute romp! The story is simple; Vince, going through a rough divorce, is brought away from the hustle and bustle of London by his group of bloke-y mates for a booze-filled weekend, organised by Mikey, Matt, Graham, Patrick and Neil. However, when they turn up in the village of Moodley, it turns out that all of the women have been transformed into, as Neil puts it, "an army of...man-hating, feminist cannibals." Now, the lads have only toy shops, boutiques and the safety of a church to protect them from the ravenous 'Zombirds' that lurk in the village, "looking for fresh meat".So...yeah, it doesn't sound up to much, but once you give it a chance it becomes a stupidly hilarious comedy where the sexism is mocked beyond belief.The lads are a mismatched group that somehow work well together; there's Mikey, the football-crazed hen-pecked husband, Neil, the sexist g*t with more mouth than mind, Patrick, a new-age hippie who has already suffered from a nervous breakdown, Matt, the Evil Dead nerd who's more concerned with references than plans of attack, and Graham, the only sensible bloke of the group next to Vince himself.The actors are all proper blokes, casting themselves in a stereotypical light but still providing all-round great performances. Graham, Ingleby, Clarke and Terry Stone are all hilarious, especially Ingleby, portraying a nervous wreck of a nerd, and Stone as a manly soldier who's tactics are a bit...well, you'll have to watch the film to find out! The 'Zombirds' themselves are well done with prosthetics and hardly any CGI, something which I truly admired about this film. The fact that there are only two or three shots enhanced with CGI effects gives the film an authentic feeling to it, just as any horror film should be.The laughs don't stop for anyone or anything, the cast is excellent and the effects are well-done. Doghouse isn't a masterpiece, but it's still a stupidly funny romp through a surreal setting that self-consciously mocks itself. Really well done- brilliant, even!

All in all this film, was easy to watch, did get a bit OTT towards the end. Great casting, the chemistry between Stephen Graham, Noel Clarke and Danny Dyer is what made this film. If it wasn't for that I would of turned it off within the first 5 minutes.The idea behind the film was okay, the ridiculous scene with Danny Dyer and the fat zombie female, seriously who would even find that funny???Now Noel Clarke in a skirt that was funny.Just not believable at all, the rating maybe a little harsh as I didn't turn the film off but would not recommend to anyone.

Done much in the line as "Shaun of the Dead" this 2009 very "camp" British horror film just barely misses the boat between grotesque horror film and funny horror satire.Seven mates bound and determined to lift the spirits of their main man Vince, who is currently going thru a divorce. Decide to have an all man's weekend out and about, away from the hustle and bustle of London. Mikey's Nan is away on a cruise for the weekend, so they charter a bus to take this motley crew of hen-peck husbands and social degenerates to the hillside village of Moodley. Unbeknownst to our wandering stag party, due to its remote location, the small town of Moodley has been selected by the military, to undergo some biological warfare testing, which has turned the female populace into flesh-eating zombies.I have to admit that the film is not all bad, and that the opening credits, which introduce us to, this cast of misfits is quite enjoyable. However, there were some things that just didn't click with this film. First, the film is very low budget, which usually isn't a problem; however, the town of Moodley looked really, really small (like seven store fronts, if that). When the initial hoard of "zombie women" attack, there is only like seven of them versus our seven main characters. So instead of our cast of he-men fighting this lowly band of evil dead, they opt to hide out and end up getting picked off one by one. Second, Nan's house seemed to be a haven in which our cast of manly men were safe and the zombie hoard reverted back from; however, when the guys decide to flee this refuge in an attempt to find transportation out of town, they never returned to their fortress of solitude. And finally, what was the deal with Meg Nut, the Mayor of Moodley? I definitely did not understand her role in this film, or her role in the plight of her town.Again, the film is played for comedy-horror satire, but it just doesn't quite hit the mark. If you are a fan of "Shaun of the Dead", then you just may enjoy this as well; however, this film is definitely not as good or as funny as "Shaun". I am on the fence with this one, so a half-hearted, lukewarm recommendation; there are definitely far worse things to watch out there. Definitely not for everyone; however, if you are into this genre of film, then by all means take a chance and rent it for a $1.00, or catch it on cable.

if your going to review a movie please watch all of it and not 2/3rds (or 1/2 if your lucky) because you would have seen this for what it is, pure gory trash horror. its not the smartest of films, hell its not the smartest if it was a slug, but its not meant to be. the thin story line is only there to hold the gore, slapstick comedy and quirky remarks together. its an OK film to sit with a few mates and a few beers and laugh at the stupidity of the characters and the situations they get them self in.the name comes from the fact that all the characters are in the doghouse for going away for the weekend when there wives or girlfriends don't want them to go.something goes wrong (what! no! really!)and the so called s*%t hits the fan.its funny,gory and daft, so sit back, switch of your smarts and enjoy a so bad its good British horror flick.
