Dog Soldiers

...wonderfully old school wolfy-horror...

...given how quickly effects look dated over time, Dog Soldiers has aged pretty well.

From its grisly preface to its unrelenting, overcooked finale, Neil Marshall's very violent, very funny horror comedy bristles with fierce energy. Bloody, and bloody good.

...It's a rip-roaring, slightly campy werewolf movie with a high body count and quasi-plausible plot--if you believe in werewolves.

Characters are established early, the werewolf ground rules revealed piecemeal and to good dramatic effect, the dialogue is sharp and the night-long siege cleanly staged and briskly edited.
