Written/Directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent), starring Kevin McKidd (Rome) and Sean Pertwee (Worzel Gummidge's son), Dog Soldiers gives every British fan of cult film making something they've been after for years...a modern British cult film.
Plot: A squad of British soldiers are sent on a training exercise to the Scottish Highlands, pitting them against special forces. Turns out though, they were just bait. Seems those pesky scots have been hiding a bit of a secret; when the moon comes out, they get as hairy as Robin Williams and decidedly less funny, or more funny, depends on your outlook. Holding up in a small house in the middle of nowhere, you get to revel in the heroic and guffaw at the ridiculous. Ever 'panned' a werewolf?
Gross: $5,491,093
This figure reflects it's standing within the cult world and explains the increasing calls for a sequel.
Fun Fact: A web-series is planned, as is that follow up, Dog Soldiers-Fresh Meat.
