CarloOos Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 It's on CH5 for the unaware. IMO the best British film for a long time. Watching it again (even with advert breaks every 15 minutes ruining the suspense) makes we want to see Descent even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarloOos Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 An all round nasty bastard basically. Sean Pertwee is probably my favorite British actor, for this film alone. Not that he hasn't done loads of other good stuff, that is. The scene where he's pissed in the bed as they glue him together is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickedkitten Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 This film sounds amazing in 5.1When they are first attacked and flee to the landrover, the sound is cracking ! Such a funny film. Pertwee is amazing ← Ahhhhh sausages! I loved this movie, especially Spoon slapboxing the werewolf. "where's spoon" "there is no spoon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Jameson Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Spoon definitely has the best lines in this. When they are wondering about a decoy... Cooper: "We need something quick and loud." (all look at Spoon) Spoon: "What?" ... "Sorry, what?" and when he is being chased back into the bedroom... Megan: "Move your fucking arse!" (upon getting back into the room) Spoon: "I love it when a posh bird talks dirty!" Cracking! CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloOos Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Spoon also goes out in the biggest blaze of glory in any film, ever. What a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonfool Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Fantastic film, everyone should see it. I'm not very clever about films but I know this has a great script, great performances and a great director. Everything works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloOos Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 They say on the commentary they had a shot of Spoon getting ripped in half but they took it out because everyone liked him so much. Speaking of which everyone should get the DVD, the cast commentary is the funniest commentary I've ever heard. It's brilliant, they're all blatantly getting pissed while they do it too.

Spiral Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 "I'll fucking 'ave you!" God I loved it. Pissing myself when I watched it. And it was creepy in all the right places as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I love the bit where the guy's hammering the door shut, and the werewolf sticks its hand in. The speed he hits it at always cracks me up.

bolak Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I loved it. An absence of useless and gratuitous tits (why most horror directors/fans insist on having this is beyond me), a great script that keeps the energy up, and performances that keep you interested throughout all made it a supremely enjoyable film for me (this being my first time watching it). And I second the mention of the sword-teeth bit. Top class, and excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantabulous. ← I like my horror stone-cold and bereft of comedy*. As soon as humour creeps in it loses its poignancy. Besides the poor FX this is where Dog Soldiers (along with countless other movies) fell on its face.

Occasionally, rarely and if handled with precision the two genres can combine and make a credible integration***see Halloween **An American Werewolf In London ← But the humour comes from the dialogue between the characters - it's not just comedy for the sake of it. A bit of black humour to lighten a grim situation is only natural - especially considering they're soldiers... The FX weren't THAT poor though - as mentioned it would have looked MUCH worse in CG AND it meant the characters could actually hit the things instead of swinging at empty space. Besides, the budget was absolutely piffling compared to any major studio film so it's understandable. It looks better than a lot of US horror films on much less money.
