Yes, aside from that weird sperg out the chick has at the end that doesn't seem to connect with anything else in the film.
it was like she tried to fit 20 one liners in her monologue and i lold when she ended on "it's that time of the month"
I absolutely love this movie. Perfect example of how budgetary restrictions can actually improve a movie. The creature design is more humanoid than wolf (from the neck down) and it definitely ups the creepy factor. The werewolves in DOG SOLDIERS leave me unsettled.
I want a wifewolf movie.
That's the one thing that is weird about the movie. It has that classic British humor but is overall serious through the first half, then it tries to become a black comedy towards the end of the film? Way over the top for some reason.

Absolute agreed, they actually have to frame the shots intelligently and not just throw money/cgi at the problem

Given that the actor that plays Cooper also voiced Soap in the COD Modern Warfare games, I'm surprised they never did some kind of Dog Soldiers DLC for the games.
Dog Soldiers is my favorite werewolf kino but picrel is my favorite werewolf design of any film.
Was definitely a great looking monster, definitely made him powerful enough and the practical effects were great but that movie is shit ass.
Why are good werewolf films so difficult to make anyway?
spoon was based
yeah it rocks
I hope I give you the shits you fucking wimp!
same
They are really hard to realize on-screen. Usually they just look like a dude in some fur, or some crummy CGI. The amount of "man" and "wolf" is also hard to balance in design AND make feasible for the film's budget at the same time.
They're really not, what's difficult is making a werewolf movie that's also not just a more standard monster attack movie. The inherent issue with the werewolf is you know what it's about and what it's gonna do. It's like one of the low budget dinosaur attack movies, it's not a big mystery what the fuck a raptor is gonna do in some low-budget street. So it's gotta do something unique, but the werewolf mythos doesn't really lean towards unique outside of overbearing metaphors or the occasional "Werewolf transformation is just a superpower". Truly unique stuff like Bad Moon or Dog Soldiers are pretty rare because ideas like that which are executed well are pretty rare.
best werewolf kino coming through
Bad Moon
That werewolf costume was so fucking good.
I don't know why they went all out for what amounts to Beethoven(As a german shepard) Vs The Wolfman but man did they make it work, that shit was great.
I thought Howl from 2015 was ok,
Werewolves attack a derailed train.
he shaves his legs
Really held back by some just genuinely bad Werewolf designs.
This isn't even the worst one, one of them is just a dude with some really bad noticable fake teeth.
No. Pic-related.
One thing that werewolf movies rely on more than most monster flicks: Monster design and execution of it. It's the biggest "all or nothing, there is no in between". You got a shit werewolf, you already loss 70% of the film.
One thing I don't think people go in on is the wild card aspect of a Werewolf.
making a werewolf movie that's also not just a more standard monster attack movie.
This is why I love An American Werewolf In London so much, because it's like a weird fusion of a romance movie (seriously cut out the Werewolf stuff and have him in a car accident that killed his friend instead and you have a basic romance movie that would have a happy ending instead) and a movie about a guy that is essentially an unwilling serial killer. It's also fairly rare to have a werewolf movie where the werewolf is actually the protagonist.
Van Helsing is absolute slop but I still say it has the coolest werewolf.
"Werewolf transformation is just a superpower".
See, I dig that when the werewolf is still treated as monstrous. "If I can just aim it at him..." is kino monster fighting
I get filtered by the first half hour or so every time. It is boring as fuck. The werewolves are cool looking though.
Based, Late Phases is pretty good.
i wouldn't say it's bad, that part at the end is one of the most effective scares in horror movie history
