Anyone else love this movie? -- I'm a HUGE werewolf fan myself, and when I found this flick I was stoked because werewolf movies are so hit and miss.
Anyone else a big werewolf fan?
I recently came across a short they made using these monster costumes and they finally announced a company had greenlit production on the sequel. Can't wait.

I went to see this back in 2002 in the Cinema.excellent movie IMO.
Im a sucker for "grunts against the unknown"movies like Aliens and Predator and this lovingly references them both.plus there was plenty of natural humor in the face of the realistic reactions the squaddies have to the Wolves.
plus my fellow Irishman Liam Cunningham is one of my favorite actors and I loved his evil special forces character.might break this one out this weekend actually........

It was a long, long time ago that I saw this but I seem to recall enjoying the first 2/3rd's of the movie then thinking it got really silly.

I watched it with very low expectations and was very surprised at how great it was. I still need to add that to my Blu Ray collection come to think of it.

I agree with the grunts against the unknown comment. American Horror hasn't been stellar the past decade, and French Horror can only be so tolerable having to listen to it. So then I heard that English/Irish horror flicks may be worth checking out and Dog Soldiers, being that I'm so into werewolves was my first one. I went in not expecting much, and now it's one of my favorite horror films. I just really love the way they did it. If you guys liked this, I highly suggest "Wilderness" as well. My Irish brothers and some English gents got together and made a damn good survival/horror flick. Highly recommend it.

Ill have to check Wilderness out!! It's another low-budget/indie flick that was Irish/English produced (I'm not sure what their Production companies are set up like over there, but from my understanding, English and Irish companies split the bills for movies and trade off on locations, talent, etc., maybe someone from that area that is versed in film can enlighten us?) But it's about young adult inmates who are taken to a deserted island as punishment and craziness involving a killer and his dogs ensues. I was pleasantly surprised. I watched it because the Capt from Dog Soldiers was in it (Sean Pertwee, I believe is his name)... Anyways, yes, very good. *edit* Sorry Joker, didn't notice you were from Ireland til after I posted this.

Haven't watch all of the film, but I did watch bits of it when my dad was watching it on TV a few months back, looked good from what I saw.

They did a short film, and with it announced that a sequel was finally going. I do believe it was an American production company that picked up the rights though. I'm HOPING they do it justice. I also believe there's a web series coming too...here's the short film

I generally don't care for werewolf movies (as good ones are hard to come by), but I absolutely love Dog Soldiers. I didn't expect much when I first watched it, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise.

This, along with 28 Days Later really showed that the British are awesome at horror movies.

On a side note, the Marshall directed episode of Game of Thrones is this weekend, which I'm incredibly excited about I've been wanting to see this because of Marshall and yet I still haven't purchased it, even though the Blu-ray has been like $9.99 forever. I think I might finally splurge!

This, along with 28 Days Later really showed that the British are awesome at horror movies. Agreed. England is high on my list of possible places to move too one day, once I get my Directing career off the ground and I'm happy with the quality of films that I've seen come out of there recently. Not to mention, I've become a HUGE Harry Potter fan in the past 6 months (I'm a little late to that party, as well)... But yeah, I'm a HUGE werewolf fan, but good movies are hard to come by, which utterly shocks me because they're such a simple thing to do. They're raw, pure animalistic nature at it's best. Why is it so hard to get that right? But Dog Soldiers is in that small class of werewolf movies done exceptionally well. And on a low budget, which makes me even happier.
