While retreating, Bruce is impaled by a tree branch, killing him, and Sergeant Wells is attacked. He is rescued by Cooper and carried to a rural roadside where the group meets Megan, a zoologist who takes them to a lonely house belonging to an unknown family. As darkness falls, the house is surrounded by the attackers: They try to get in the Land Rover but find it has been destroyed by the werewolves. The soldiers maintain a desperate defence against the creatures, believing that if they can make it to sunrise, the werewolves will revert to human form.
Cooper and Megan then treat Wells' wounds. After Terry is abducted and their ammunition runs short, they realize they will not last and decide to try to escape. Spoon creates a diversion while Joe tries to steal a Land Rover from the garage.

An enraged Wells and Cooper attempt to kill Ryan, but he transforms into a werewolf due to his wounds and escapes out of a window, running off into the forest. It is then revealed that the unknown family of the house are the werewolves. The soldiers try blowing up the barn - where Megan told them the werewolves must be hiding - with petrol, gas canisters, matches, and the Land Rover. Once the structure has been destroyed, Megan reveals that not only were there no werewolves in the barn, but she had persuaded them to destroy their only means of transport.
She is a werewolf, as well, and had been suppressing the metamorphosis until she gave in. She also reveals that she unlocked the back door to the house, allowing the werewolves to get inside. Before she fully transforms, Wells runs into the room just in time and shoots her in the head. He and Cooper run upstairs, and Spoon runs to the kitchen, blocking the door. A werewolf breaks in, and Spoon runs out of ammo.

He fights the werewolf and, using nearby surroundings to his advantage, gains the upper hand but is eventually killed when a second werewolf intervenes. Wells and Cooper shoot through the floor upstairs to elude the werewolves, dropping into the kitchen, where they find Spoon's remains. Wells orders Cooper to take shelter in the cellar as he begins to transform into a werewolf, giving him a roll of photographic film which was in a flashgun camera used to stun the werewolves to prove what has happened.
The werewolves break into the kitchen and confront Wells as he cuts a gas line and blows up the house, killing himself and the werewolves, including a now fully transformed Megan. As the sun rises, Cooper attempts to leave but Ryan, who also took shelter in the cellar, confronts him. After a brutal fight, Cooper stabs Ryan in the chest with the silver letter opener, weakening him enough to allow Cooper to shoot him in the head, killing him.
Cooper and Megan's Border Collie , Sam, emerge from the cellar and walk off into the woods. The end credits show that Cooper reported his story to the newspapers, with photographs as proof, headlined under the title of "Werewolves ate my platoon". The film contains homages to H.

A Blu-ray edition including a single-disc edition and a double-disc edition with a DVD copy was released by First Look Studios on May 5, , [7] available only in the U. Due to the low quality of the original Blu-ray transfer, Shout! Factory worked hand in hand with director Neil Marshall [8] [9] to create a brand-new Blu-ray transfer for Dog Soldiers in a release titled Dog Soldiers: Collector's Edition , [10] which was released on June 23, It was a two-disc set including a brand-new Blu-ray and a DVD copy with a new cover.
This edition is only available in the U. Allen said in January that a sequel, Dog Soldiers: Andy Armstrong, a second-unit director on films including Hellbound: No casting was announced. Allen said the plot would involve Cooper being "picked up by an American team who, we find out, were the real opponents for the war games for Sgt. In this one, it's an actual team of werewolves who are true military men. So even though they are now werewolves, they act like a trained military unit. Looks like they used the original transfer without ANY cleaning up.
The night vision footage and wolf point of view are meant to look grainy, but I was hoping they would fix the rest. The creatures look decent depending on the scene, but the suits don't get that respect the makers deserved in Blu no CGI. By far the worst "True HD" mix I have heard. Maybe a shell casing or two hit the outer channels, but everything got heavily mixed to the front speakers. Recommendation - Even with this low SRP it has nothing to ever make me watch this again at home or as a demo in the store.
Like all the other negative reviews, this is one of the worst Blu-ray transfers I've ever seen. I can't believe the company put out something so bad. I remember, over the last couple of months, occasionally coming across various people and message boards and whatnot mentioning that they really liked the movie 'Dog Soldiers'. I knew of a movie called 'Dog Soldiers', but surely this could not be the movie that so many people liked.
It looked utterly terrible. Must be another movie with the same name. I looked into it, and sure enough, it was the movie I was thinking of. Then reports started coming in that Neil Marshall had directed a new film, 'The Descent', which is supposedly one of the very best horror movies in recent memory.

I suppose that was finally enough for me to get up the enthusiasm to actually see this movie. I was still concerned, however, as it had a lot of strikes against it: Well, I don't actually mind that it's British, but I thought it would be funny to say I did. After viewing the movie the truth proved to be somewhere between the two poles.
It's not a bad movie by any means, but it's certainly not worthy of any particular hype either, not that it really had that much to begin with. Just a fun, somewhat 'Predator'-esque movie about a squad of soldiers that are assailed by a pack of werewolves out in the forest. This is a low-budget film, needless to say, but it's reasonably slickly done as far as these things go. The werewolves look kinda stupid, but they almost invariably do, so I don't hold it against the movie too much. It does earn points for actually making them look wolf-like, unlike virtually all werewolves, which are generally ape-bears.
Performances are pretty solid for this kinda thing, and the soldiers are usually charming and likable enough. There are a few crappy one-liners, but a few good ones as well, which is a pretty decent rate. Overall the dialogue is occasionally witty and generally inoffensive, at least. Nothing to get too excited over, but at least they're making the effort.
Eventually the squad holes up in a cabin, allowing for various firefights with the seemingly invulnerable werewolves, and the creation of a slightly oppressive atmosphere, as they seem pretty much stuck there. This is the bulk of the movie, and it proves more restrained than you might anticipate, though it still has plenty of action. I should mention, all this actually proves to be quite a bit less silly than it sounds. It's still a little silly, much of the time, but it works as a straight action-horror film provided you are particularly good at suspending your disbelief.
Anyway, a pretty fun horror movie, definitely. A reasonably promising debut, and hopefully 'The Descent' will prove to be as good as everyone says it is. Unfortunately I have to give, what is without a doubt, the greatest werewolf movie of all time a 1 star. What should have been instantly my favorite movie of my collection, has become one which I plan to return.

It's just not worth having this copy. The visual presentation is atrocious. The VHS tapes I still have in my collection are crisper than this. That may seem crazy to think, but it's true. My wife who is not an HD hound, or even someone who typically even notices whether I have a Blu-Ray in, or a standard DVD noticed the horrible quality.
I thought that perhaps the Blu-Ray disk was a dud, so I checked it versus the standard DVD which comes with this set, and the quality is near identical.
Their quality is far superior. The only reason this copy is worth having is the special features, which are nice, as well as finally having an english subtitle track for the film. See all reviews.
