By now you’ve figured out that I really like Werewolf movies.  So up next is a great werewolf film from across the pond: Dog Soldiers.  Written and directed by Neil Marshall, Dog Soldiers basically took the werewolf genre and turned it on it’s ear in 2002 when it was released.  I don’t think I actually got around to seeing it until probably 2006 or 2007 after my Netflix addiction was in full swing, but I had caught bits and pieces (pun not intended) of it on SyFyor Sci-Fi or what ever that channel was called back then.  What I had seen was brilliant so I finally rented the movie.

What was laid out before me was one of the smartest, most intense horror movie I had seen in years.  It simply floored me.  When I post the trailer you’ll see how they kind of say it’s like Alien, and it is.  Military personnel being forced to deal with an unstoppable and largely unseen force.

Great action.  Great acting.  Great humor and an extremely smart script kept this sucker flying for me and always guessing what was around the corner.  Mr. Marshall really made a huge debut in the horror community with this film and then the two of the one two punch, The Descent which has to be one of the most terrifying films of the last few years.  We won’t talk about his latest one, it’s a travesty of epic proportions.

If you are looking for an amazing werewolf movie that will leave you scared and hurting, then rent Dog Soldiers tonight and be prepared to be scared.
