Storyline
A British Squad is sent on a training mission in the Highlands of Scotland against Special Operations squad. Ignoring the childish "campfire" stories heard about the area, they continue with their mission and come across the bloody remains of the Special Ops Squad, and a fierce howling is pitching the night sky... With two mortally wounded men, they make an escape, running into a zoologist by the name of Megan - who knows exactly what hunts them. What began as what they thought was a training mission turns into a battle for their lives against the most unlikely enemies they would have expected - werewolves. Written by Dismal Angel

Trivia
The piece that Megan plays on the piano halfway through the film is Debussy's "Clair de Lune", roughly translatable as "moonbeam". The link is obvious, but is possibly also a nod to An American Werewolf in London (1981), the soundtrack of which consisted purely of songs with "moon" in the title. See more »Goofs
When the team reaches the destroyed special forces position there are 105mm charges and ammunition amongst the equipment present. The 105mm is an artillery piece unlikely to be used in a wood, and definitely not by special forces. See more »Crazy Credits
During the closing credits b&w photographs are shown from the camera used during the siege in the cottage. See more »Soundtracks

Take a look at our favorite movie and TV stills from the past year. Spot any of your faves?
The Best way to describe this movie is the Howling Meets Evil Dead 2. It is fast paced but still develops all of the characters so that you know and feel for each of them. There is hardly if any CGI effects in this movie which works to its benefit because it draws you more into the story and the utter eeriness of the upper Scotland woods. It is very hard these days to find a good horror movie that will make you jump then laugh a second later. Don't let the fact that there are no big name stars in dog soldiers let you miss this one if anything it adds to the feel of the movie it makes you feel as if you are one of the soldiers sitting around the campfire with them. It is one of the best horror movies out there and quite possibly the best werewolf movie ever made. Note: If you have the opportunity get the DVD with the making of extras and cast interviews it will give you not only a good look into what it takes to make a good horror movie but how to tell a story right from beginning to end.
