Essential The Official Coli Horror Film Thread: Discussion, Recommendations And Murder.

I saw Dog Soldiers on Shudder's "leaving soon" list and remembered @cac poster suggesting it...good looks!

For those that haven't seen the posts, I've been running through a lot of werewolf movies. I generally like werewolves in fiction but the movies have never been my go to; so I used the drought to backtrack and look at as many famous takes on the story as I can. A lot of the time, the stories share a gang of similarities but Dog Soldiers remixes the story by layering in action heroics.

It's like Predator meets Assault on Precinct 13 (or any "survive in one place through the time limit" style flick) but with some UK humor mixed (a running soccer joke for example). What's especially dope about this ish is that it could just lean on tropes and become a schlock action film; but they actually toy with some new ideas. The wolves aren't just blind beasts, so tactics come into play on both sides. The characters have personality that makes it feel like there's a real back story to everybody, even the creatures have a bit of history to share. You end up invested in the stakes in spite of the over the top action sequences.

If I had to complain; it does go full B-Movie at points. Although I didn't think the wolves looked the best, they have a really unique feel that helps on that end. The cast has some familiar faces (Alfred from the series Gotham plays a key role) and it's obvious these dudes were having fun with the script. You probably want to be an action fan to truly enjoy this one; it's just as much an action flick as it is a horror, if not more. But it's a really cool twist on the usual werewolf formula.

Dog Soldiers was pretty good imo.

@MartyMcFly The Grudge 2020 was not bad at all, Marty Mar. I wasn’t bored and it actually worked for me. Did not like the use a pregnant woman for shock value but I was entertained.

@Yahweh Ben Yahweh and @S0ur² have y’all seen the new Grudge 2020, it’s gets at least a 7/10 from me. It actually pretty damn better than I expected.
@Jello Biafra what did you think about it? @storyteller ??

7's about where I'd have it. It was good but didn't separate itself from the rest of the Grudge movies for me. That's a solid score but disappointing for me because I thought with that cast and crew, we had a shot at a classic.

I’m glad you liked it. I just couldn’t get into it. Like someone said, it felt like the conjuring to me or just biting wan but without the voice behind it

Deep Blue Sea 3

Edit

Movie was so damn cornish.
Buuuuuuuut...

There was one particular moment that boosted this from a 1.5/5 to a 3/5.
