11 Action-Horror Movies To Get Your Blood Pumping
2. Dog Soldiers (2002)
Before he directed the venerated claustrophobic cave horror, The Descent, Neil Marshall debuted with Dog Soldiers, creating an adrenaline-fuelled creature feature, which is amongst the best werewolf films ever made. It also doubles as an amusing dark comedy, that proved to many that you can make a petrifying monster movie on a low-budget.
A small group of British army soldiers is on a routine training exercise in the Scottish Highlands when they discover the remains of a special forces squad that have been torn to shreds. After this, they are then attacked by unseen beasts, from which the remaining soldiers escape with the help of a zoologist, and spend the night attempting to survive the onslaught.
Critics praised the lack of pretension, and simple aim to deliver an action-packed, unstable horror picture. A small squad of soldiers against insurmountable odds is quite simplistic, but this isn't to the detriment of the overall experience.
Whilst wanting to cover your eyes, you will also what to burst out laughing, with quotes such as, 'if Little Red Riding Hood should show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude, I expect you to chin the bitch.' British charm ladies and gentlemen.
