Dog Soldiers
- Rating:
- Director: Neil Marshall
- Starring: Emma Cleasby
- Details: UK / 105 mins (15PG).
Take six soldiers on a routine training mission. Add one remote forest, one full moon and a legion of werewolves - the result is a low budget treat full of gore, guts and snappy one-liners. Refreshingly, for a horror flick, Dog Soldiers doesn't take itself too seriously, and is all the more enjoyable for that.
