This is exactly the same thing that happened to me with Session 9. Everyone's so excited about it and give it a shining review and I'm thinking, "Sounds like this is going to be real good!"

Nope. The atmosphere from the first sighting of the cave dwellers until after the first attack was terrifying, to say the least. Haven't seen Dog Soldiers but Neil Marshall certainly handled that first attack very very well. Unfortunately...in spite of the non-stop action, the skillful direction of the attacks dwindled. In my opinion, there seemed to be too many cuts. Instead of being scary having to watch them fighting back, it becomes too chaotic for its own good. Messy editing.

But, hey, it was a good scare. Better than most. And I didn't particularly look forward to go out walking in the woods that night.
