The soldiers maintain a desperate defence against the creatures, believing that if they can make it to sunrise, the werewolves will revert to human form. A group of soldiers dispatched to the Scottish Highlands on special training maneuvers face their biggest fears after they run into Captain Ryan – the only survivor of a Special Ops team that was literally torn to pieces. The Second Sight version will just keep you a little bit busier thanks to the deleted scenes and the booklet, and it will also look far prettier on your shelf. He explains how his father influenced his love of horror, and then talks about the production of Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday, and Centurion.In 1995, director Neil Marshall pitched to co-producer Keith Bell his idea of a low-budget soldiers vs.

The biggest omission is the commentary track from the 2003 UK DVD that featured Marshall, McCurdy, McKidd, Pertwee, Cunningham, and producer Keith Bell. Factory has released Second Sight’s restoration of Dog Soldiers on UHD in North America, also as a two-disc set that includes a Region A-locked Blu-ray copy of the film.Help arrives in the form of a local woman who shelters them in a deserted farmhouse deep in the forest … but when they realize that they are surrounded by a pack of blood-lusting werewolves, their nightmare has just begun! Whichever version that you choose, it’s going to be a night-and-day improvement over previous releases, with an extensive collection of extras that will keep you busy for days on end. It’s The Howlingmeets Ultimate Force, with an irresistible mix of foul-mouthed squaddies taking on vicious werewolves, combined with plenty of blood and gore, and brilliantly effective action set pieces. The modern werewolf genre has been a durable but malleable one, with the basic tropes proving surprisingly adaptable into a variety of different situations and narratives. The grain is finer and more refined, though of course it’s still just a bit heavier than it would have been with a 35 mm negative.

The title Dog Soldiers couldn’t be more perfect, as it applies equally well to both sides of the conflict.Stephen King’s novel Thinner was published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, and it was released in 1984 – twelve years before the movie adaptation came along.

Wells and Cooper shoot through the floor upstairs to elude the werewolves and drop into the kitchen, where they find Spoon's remains. It is revealed that Cooper is trying to join a special forces unit but fails when he refuses to shoot a dog in cold blood. The 4K UHD set from Second Sight is great; the native 4K image, with Dolby Vision, is stunning: a well detailed, clean, naturally coloured picture with deep blacks, with a beautiful filmic nature, including grain, and has never looked so good.The surrounds consist primarily of muted environmental effects, though they do spring to frenzied life during the attack scenes, when bullets, shell casings, and werewolves all whiz around the viewer. McKidd won his role when Jason Statham left to work with John Carpenter on Ghosts of Mars instead of waiting for the production to get off the ground, and while Statham would have been memorable, McKidd has always had a unique charm of his own that’s perfect for the film. coming off the back of this might be slightly more accomplished and be one of the best horror films of all time, but for all round satisfaction, Dog Soldiers is hard to top.
