Dog Soldiers Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Ruthie Alonzovor 1 Tag🐺 You really don’t even want to know.
- Stairwaytothestars13. August 2025This was better than I expected.
- Doc Worm6. Januar 2026Simple and effective werewolf movie with some pretty excellent effects and camera tricks to disguise when there aren’t. While Neil Marshall is no poet, it certainly helps that this is one of his tighter scripts. Fun movie especially as it moves into its third act.
- flavo4321. Dezember 2025Dog Soldiers (2002) is a gritty, fast‑paced blend of action and dark comedy that leans far more into adrenaline and attitude than traditional horror—and that works entirely in its favour. The werewolf effects are surprisingly solid for a modestly budgeted film, relying heavily on practical makeup and creature design that give the monsters real presence. The fight scenes are graphic, gory, and often laced with sharp humour, striking a balance that keeps the film entertaining rather than bleak. Its low‑budget roots actually enhance its charm; instead of glossy spectacle, you get handcrafted effects, tight sets, and a scrappy energy that suits the story perfectly. The cast commits fully to the chaos, delivering tough, memorable performances that elevate the material. Dog Soldiers isn’t a blockbuster, but it doesn’t need to be—it’s a clever, bloody, and wildly fun cult favourite that embraces its limitations with style.
- Aaron Slade29. März 2025Its a kickass werewolf movie, if you are into that then this should be a must watch. Admittedly, some of the Scottish accent goes in one ear and out the other. The first time you watch it will have you on the edge of your seat for sure. Maybe just turn on the subtitles though lol
- Shaydeknight8. November 2025Dog Soldiers is a middle-of-the-road werewolf film that tries to capture the gritty, military-versus-monster energy of Predator or Aliens, but never quite hits the mark. It has its moments, but overall, it's a bit too silly and uneven to take seriously. The camaraderie and dialogue among the soldiers feel authentic. These are rough, battle-hardened men, and their banter and reactions sell that well. Once the story gets moving, it maintains a decent pace, and the central concept (soldiers trapped in the wilderness facing werewolves) has solid potential. For a low-budget production, the werewolf designs and makeup effects are surprisingly good and show a lot of creativity and effort. Unfortunately, the film stumbles hard in other areas. The plot is often contradictory and confusing, with character motivations (especially the woman's) poorly developed or outright nonsensical. The low-budget gore and effects strain credulity, sometimes to the point of comedy. There's one especially ridiculous scene (spoilers avoided) involving a man's intestines that turns from horrifying to farcical in seconds. It's meant to shock, but it just feels cheap and absurd. As a fan of werewolf movies, I wanted to like this one more. There's a good idea buried in there, and the werewolves themselves are handled with respect and imagination. But everything else, from story coherence to production polish, lands just one step above mediocre. Dog Soldiers has a cult following, and I can understand why some might enjoy its rough charm, but for me, it's more mess than masterpiece.
- Lornie25. Oktober 2025Best werewolf movie
- pipanni8. September 2025Soldiers get attacked by werewolves in a deep dark forest. What a great way to start a movie. A very good cast and some funny / scary scenes nicely complement this movie. The kitchen scene with the soldier who runs out of bullets and weapons is an instant classic and very funny.
- falter024. Mai 2025One of the best werewolf movies ever
- ርልዪረ14. Oktober 2025🌕🐺 This is honestly, probably the best werewolf movie ever made. The werewolf designs are excellent, as horrifying and extremely violent monsters, the cast is top notch and unusual for a horror movie, the characters are interesting enough to care about. Would totally recommend 10/10.
- MrRichard8830. August 2025Best werewolf movie.
- hairydemon1. August 2025maybe the worst werewolf film ever made. It gts half a star for the idea, and minus 4.5 stars for the execution. Putting taxidermy wolf heads on broomsticks and attaching them to people's heads while everyone shoots guns is crap. It coulda been a contender (as an idea on a napkin), before the script was written. awful.
- Jacob O’Neal13. Juli 2025Neil Marshall, before launching himself into the big time with The Descent, Thor 2 and Game Of Thrones, made a little werewolf movie about soldiers in Scotland and werewolves. I saw this right after The Descent came out. I wanted to see Marshall’s first film after the well crafted and eerie Descent. I was not disappointed, but for some reason I hadn’t watched it again in years till the other night. It really sits very high in the rankings of werewolf films. The story is about a young soldier who finds himself and his unit trapped in the woods on a training exercise will being stalked by something they can’t see. Eventually they discover they are fighting werewolves and enlist the help of a woman who lives in a nearby cabin. We begin to learn the backstory as soldiers either die or become the enemy after being bit. The greatest part is that this is unabashedly a movie about soldiers first and adds the werewolf aspect for added tension. Marshall crafted a fantastic story that wasn’t afraid to get violent. Watching soldiers become unstoppable killing machines who seem to relish that and go after whoever is in their wake is a frightening concept. The acting, the directing and the story all hum along so well that you it’s over before you know it. The entire time the credits roll, you’ll wish there was a sequel. The problem is that it likely will never happen due to rights issues being split between a producer in Arkansas that put up most of the money and then got out of filmmaking as well as Neil Marshall moving on since he saw it likely wouldn’t happen. Maybe it’s for the best. One movie, no sequels to sully the memory of a great stand alone film.
