Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe super-glue scene is referenced in Small Favor (Dresden files) a book by Jim Butcher. A female character is disembowelled and talks about super-glue being invented in the Vietnam war in order to stick wounded soldiers back together but then says she saw it in a movie about werewolves.
- GoofsMore than once, Megan asserts that the remote cottage where most of the action takes place is 50 miles from the nearest habitation, Fort William, or from the next glen where Megan claims her cottage to be. Even if she were lying to stop the soldiers from trying to leave, they ought to have known that nowhere is more than 50 miles from anywhere in the Highlands of Scotland, especially not a sizable town like Fort William.
- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credits b&w photographs are shown from the camera used during the siege in the cottage.
- Alternate versionsAccording to Neil Marshall, he did film a scene where Spoon gets horrifically killed by the werewolves. The scene never made it into the finished film, and it is unknown if the scene actually exists.

Featured review
I really enjoyed this!!
It's easy to make a bad horror film, and, sadly, not too many people have the drive or imagination to make a decent one. I heard about Dog Soldiers through Fangoria, and though they've been wrong before I thought it was worth a go. In a word, it was fantastic!! I was willing to overlook the slightly convoluted plot (especially when people turned into werewolves at any old time, as opposed to the beginning of the full moon...) for the action and tension. I rather liked the werewolf costumes, because even though their range of motion was limited they made for some divinely creepy silhouettes. I even got interested in and attached to the soldiers, action-film archetypes though they were. If you're not willing to follow the movie where it takes you, then I wouldn't recommend it. But if you're ready for a deliciously gory bit of fun, I doubt you'll be disappointed. 8/10
