The Life of Reidy

My buddy Kevin and I just watched "Dog Soldiers," which was the directorial debut and pretty much the only other movie from the director of "The Descent." We both loved "The Descent" and felt it was one of the better horror flicks we've seen in a long time, so we figured we'd give this a try too. The plot revolves around a group of soldiers on a training mission (which of course, goes horribly wrong) and they eventually run into a family of werewolves who of course threaten their very existant. Though a bit extreme at times, "Dog Soldiers" was also another well put-together little horror flick. It felt much like a classic seventies thriller with the fear that the threat could come at any time, and yet it also had a bit of that cool 80's buddy-soldier movie feel to it. The film also used a lot of Jaws technique by not showing too much of the werewolves, which was probably due to budget restrictions, but as long as it works I'm not going to complain. Not the best horror movie ever made, but it certainly wasn't an aweful way to kill two hours either.
