...Dog Soldiers...Awesome movie!

I think DOG SOLDIERS is better appreciated in the USA, where the novelty value of variable British accents (and indeed of a British horror film) helps this one stand out from the crowd.
Hats off to Neil Marshall for keeping it all non-CGI, but the film was still disappointing as it did not need to progress from its own knowing-ness about werewolf movies as long as the snappy dialogue was there to keep the multiplex crowd in on the joke (and in doing so extinguish the pure terror monsters like these should evoke).
A fun movie, but I'd swap all this intestine-spilling and gut-glueing for the jarring peep-show scene in THE HOWLING or the terrifically eerie stalking-through-the-tube-station in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON any day.
