Dog Soldiers
Released: 2002
Genre: Horror, Action, a bit of humor
Movie Rating: Rated R (strong violence/gore and language)
The movie begins with a couple camping out in Scotland. While on their vacation they suddenly see their tent being opened by something outside. Suddenly they're attacked and killed. The scene then flashes to Private Cooper who is taking a test trying to join the special forces that's led my Captain Richard Ryan. He does quiet well but fails his test when he refuses to shoot a dog that Captain Ryan orders.
The movie then flashes to the present time which is four weeks after those incidents. A team of 6 British soldiers are dropped onto Scottish Highlands (cooper included in this team). While expecting to carry out a routine training mission they find some remains of the special forces squads that were in the same training session out there. It's then they discover Captain Ryan who is the only one alive but wounded. Together they manage to figure out that something inhuman has attacked and brutally murdered those men and they must find help and get out of there as soon as possible.
Expecting to carry out a routine training mission, they find the savaged remains of a special forces squad who were part of the same training exercise. The single survivor, Captain Ryan, makes cryptic references to what attacked them. It is noticed that he has been wounded. Unseen antagonists make their presence known as they attack the troops. Whilst retreating, Bruce is impaled on a tree branch and Sergeant Wells is attacked. He is rescued by Cooper and carried to the roadside where the group encounter Megan, a zoologist who takes them to a lonely house. The soldiers that remain are Wells, Cooper, Spoon, Joe, and Terry. As darkness arrives, the house is surrounded by the attackers: to the soldiers' incredulity, these are revealed to be werewolves.
My Rate: 10/10
Excellent movie! And the price isn't bad in stores. I got my copy from FYE for only 8.00 or something (US currency). While the movie had action and horror in it, it also included a good amount of humor that made you love the characters and enjoy they moments. The werewolves are classic which is good and the storyline was interesting as well.
Why it's rated R:
Cursing- Yes there was a few bad words used here and there...
Gore- The gore-y parts in the movie? There were the human parts they showed that the werewolves had ripped from the humans. Blood here and there... To be expected in a werewolf movie right?
