Best Werewolf Movie Of All Time
Containing one of my favorite movie moments of all time (the hammer scene), and holding its own with a unique concept and really well done elements, Dog Soldiers wins a spot in my heart. It has re-watch value and a really solid story line.

This one had so much potential. The acting was half decent. The cinematography was, well, meh. The creatures are not too bad and the concept was fairly unique and could've been a really good werewolf tale. The story, however, played out weakly and ended even worse. Mostly very predictable and unsatisfying. NOT worth a watch.

I was rather confused by the concept of this book after reading the pitch and the blurb, but it was a werewolf book and I love werewolf books, so I gave it a try. However, even after the first few pages, the word that came to mind was "sappy." I kept reading the dialogue and the interior monologue and thinking "Who says stuff like that?" and even the actions of the characters. I mean, I wouldn't tell a random good looking stranger that I've been having emotionally stirring dreams about him for the past six months. That's an invitation for a stalker. No girl would do that. It felt illogical and it didn't make sense, and I couldn't read past the seventh chapter.

Raucous and highly derivative low-budget werewolf movie. Director Neil Marshall went on to bigger and somewhat better movies, but this is a decent calling card.

A group of British squaddies on a training exercise run into a pack of werewolves in the Scottish highlands (as happens all the time, I expect); they take refuge in a remote farmhouse. What follows is largely composed of bits lifted from Evil Dead and Assault on Precinct 13, done with a great deal of enthusiasm by all concerned. Part of the fun of this kind of movie is being able to guess what's going to happen next; you may well be able to do so even if you haven't seen the same films that Marshall has. Well-staged gory action; rather impressive werewolf suits considering the low budget.
