Dog Soldiers (2001) 8/10

Starring : Sean Pertwee, Kevin McKidd, Emma Cleasby, Liam Cunningham
Director : Neil Marshall
Running Time : 102 mins

A group of British squaddies on a training mission in the Scottish Highlands find themselves under attack by wolves in the middle of the night. Realising the danger they are faced with, they take refuge in a small cottage, only to realise that the creatures attacking them are in fact werewolves, and they’ve just taken refuge in their house!

This was a very good tongue-in-cheek horror, a little in the vein of An American Werewolf in London. Although the effects weren’t all that impressive, they really didn’t have to be as the plot and the acting carried the story along better than any cheap CGI ever could. I highly recommend checking out this little jem, it's an instant classic.
