About this deal

Shapiro, Marc (19 January 2004). "Producers talk 'Dog Soldiers: Fresh Meat' ". Fangoria. Archived from the original on 13 February 2004. scratching their heads at that comment I'd refer you first to my original Dog Soldiers Blu-ray review, which explicitly gets into the provenance of that 1080 release from Shout! Factory, but also to If there’s one flaw with Dog Soldiers, it’s that Marshall’s editing is a bit too busy overall. The action scenes are sometimes excessively chaotic, with a confusing sense of screen direction. It’s still miles away from the completely incoherent visual anarchy of a Michael Bay film, but Marshall’s confidence in handling action scenes has improved considerably since he made his feature debut with this film. That’s a minor quibble, however, as Dog Soldiers is still a werewolf movie for the ages. It’s a fine example of how a talented director can take a clever concept and overcome the limitations of a minuscule budget, and it proves just how versatile that the werewolf genre really can be.

another shot on film release (with quite a few opticals to boot) where I'm not sure the increased resolution of the 4K UHD version is always "friendly" to neither music nor general sound effects play with anything even remotely close to reference-quality With access to the film’s original negative, Second Sight’s release far surpasses any previous incarnation, and can be considered definitive.

A Cottage in the Woods (HD, 14 Mins.) - Here we have the set designer of the film talk about how he built and shot the scenes in the cabin. He also talks about they were able to get the camera in all those hard-to-see spaces.

"32 Things We Learned From Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers Commentary". Film School Rejects . Retrieved 24 February 2020. There are around 186 minutes of bonus features included here. There are three audio commentaries to choose from both new and vintage. The extras port over the original bonus features from the previous release here and add some brand-new interviews as well. All of these are worth the time. The image doesn't look flat by any means. In fact there is some great depth while the soldiers are in the woods and particularly in the cabin. Colors are muted with the exception of the blood reds and the green leaves on the trees, which both stand out and pop off screen nicely. Other than that, the colors just seem to blend in, but that might be source related, and not a transfer problem. There is still a layer of grain, but it never really fluctuates with the exception of the a couple of very dark scenes, but it never hinders the viewing experience.

To are a little more inscrutable, as we spend most of the time with the squaddies as they defend themselves, it’s not until later that we gather the information to discern which camp the werewolves fall into.

Conclusion

The film contains homages to H. G. Wells as well as the films The Evil Dead, Zulu, Aliens, The Matrix and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. [11] Writing [ edit ]
