Sat in and watched the best film I've seen for a long while on telly last night - 'Dog Soldiers'

Very 'American Werewolf' meets 'Platoon' meets 'Alien'

Its on Sky Movies at present, so watch out for it!

Ah yes - fabulous movie, if a little tongue-in-cheek. Bought it on DVD earlier this year.

Aliens with werewolves best describes it, and about 1/100th of the budget.

Classic scene in the kitchen with the soldier throwing pans at the werewolf, only to finally be defeated "I hope I give you the *****"

And the part outside, with the flare - "FETCH!"

The best thing is at the start of the movie the wolves can kill a human in about 0.00001s with one swipe - by the end they are going heads up in a boxing match for 5 minutes in the kitchen - LMAO

An absolute stinker!

How Shawn Pertwee can walk down the street without hanging his head in shame I do not know (maybe he does). I started watching this on the way back from the US and had to give in - absolutely one of the worst films ever made.

Cheers

My brother saw it and lent me the DVD to watch, I was in hysterics. It is very low budget, but rather funny.

I like the "There is no spoon" comment v funny, plus the part when Sean's character is telling his mate to knock him out very funny.

Good for a laugh on a sunday afternoon.

Best line from the film, and respect to the Matrix

Sarge: "Where is Spoon?"

Cooper: "There is no Spoon"

Class movie

Edited to say: bleh someone beats you too it if you get sidetracked and leave the window open

Good to see a british horror film again, i enjoyed it, did not take itself seriously and was a good watch.

Had about the same total budget as an American blockbuster spends on the closing credits

Do like Shaun Pertwee, great actor, in fact the whole thing was well cast, directed and acted.

Was good to see the sneeky reporter from Ultraviolet come to a quick and nasty demise on the end of a sharp tree stump.

That was a series that had promise. Was really gutted when it stopped after just the 6 episodes.

One of the best British films ever.

If you have the DVD, the cast's commentary is worth a listen. Funny.

Cheers

Sergeant Harry Wells: We are now up against live, hostile targets. So, if Little Red Riding Hood should show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude, I expect you to chin the bitch!


Cooper: I'm still not convinced these things didn't just escape from the local nut-house and forget to shave or trim their nails.

this is a perfect example of why its a great flick.

the shot above manages to be funny because its a bloke in a suit but also....would you camp in the woods afetr watching the movie?

not since Broody chucked a scoop of chum at a plastic fish has anything so very fake been so very good!

made me laugh all the way through. Went to the big screen to see it, expecting a bit of a horror. But it was more like a comedy. Excellent film, keep meaning to buy it on DVD to just watch those scenes in the kitchen. Poor budget, but what a scream.

Proby.
