Review of Dog Soldiers (2002) by Josh G — 29 Jun 2010

'Dog Soldiers' is a 2002 British Action/Horror film (set mostly in Scotland), which is Neil Marshall director debut (which he did a brilliant work of directions in his first film & loved the way he was directing the film and he seems to like making outdoor horror/action movie which I supriesly like now, all thanks to him). The movie has a camping theme thrills & chills with a low buget set & a creative way with the elements, theme, style & the set of creepy werewolf (that were amazing well made to look soo really). The storyline/plot was really good (which it was about army men practicing in the wood until they find themself on battle agianest werewolf in scotland) and the acting from some know, but mostly unkown actors was really well acted in this type of film.

The begging of the film was a bloody gut start to the film (which that what I like from horror to scary you from star to finish), the movie builds up drak tension towards the film, while giving great body counts of the gut & blood involed in the movie, fast pacing on to the werewolf & the whole story of the film & the make-up artist & effects on the werewolf were ace & well made.

The film is really creepy, eerie, horrifying, terrifying, shocking moments & jumpy out scary stuff (as you know something going to happen but you jump anyway), also love the way you just see a bit of the werewolf or it's shadow until mostly the ending, the action is bloody good & has great army moves (for a british movie).

It dose have an amount of drakly british comic humour (which I did laugh at some part when it was funny), the sound effects were bad but the werewolf sound effects were brilliant (he must have done his rescarch about the werewolf sounds & voice) and the ending is what you would exspect, but it was abit shocking, while I would say it is somewhat the best werewolf 2002/of decade action, drak humour & horror film around and is a great first start for a director debut for Neil Marshall.

(also love the end credites that show photo of the werewolf attack, really great capture).
