Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - Soldiers versus the supernatural
Dog Soldiers is a good action flick with the supernatural-horror slant. I have used clips of this film several times to demonstrate different leadership styles of the military. What I liked about this military/horror show was that the military action scenes were very accurate and believable. O.K. so the werewolf slant had a few flaws. But, the film was non-stop kick-butt, right to the end.

Rating:  - It's okay.
Really? You've looked at the cover and read the title of the movie, and you're still not clear? It's soldiers and werewolves and a ton of awesomeness.
Just buy it already.
Rating: - If you go down to the woods today...
Quite possibility the best werewolf film made since An American Werewolf in London.
In Dog Soldiers, a group of British squaddies, out on a training exercise in the vast wilderness of the Scottish Highlands, come up against a `troop' of werewolves.
Having dispatched a group of superior British SAS special forces, surely the regular British troops won't be much of a problem for the 7ft hairy howlers. Wrong; through their toughness, training and the little incentive of staying ... Read More
Rating:  - Who Let The Dogs In ?!!!
If you like non-stop military action,
you will like this movie.
If you like blood and gore,
you will like this movie.
If you like monsters, in this case werewolves,
you will like this movie.
The cinematography and music are very good.
I knew from the opening sequence, when our
British Army "heroes" land for their jungle
training exercise, soon to go very wrong,
that I was watching a far better than average
action/horror film, and it ... Read More
