Watch it if you want to laugh at mindless shit, horrendous acting, and a completely stupid plot.

Boo.
I actually hired this to see how the director of dog soldiers would go with a different style of film...see, I never got into dog soldiers, I had my theory why a lot of people did and I didn't, and set out to see for myself if I was right.
Barely watchable...maybe a little better than the abovementioned film, but pretty bad. Reminded me in parts, of the silent hill movie.
Is this the best the maker of the supposedly great dog soldiers can do?
Ah well, my theory has always been that the only reason people liked that was the sheer lack of ANY werewolf films coming out, let alone good ones, taking what little in the genre was thrown at them with a smile...this movie "boo" makes me almost certain I was right about DS not really being all that great all along...the guy can't make a good movie for shit IMO.
More poor acting, very cheap feel.
I suppose if you're a fan of splatter, you might enjoy it...but even that gets a little stupidly excessive, to the point it's laughable.

Ah well, got no-one to blame but myself, I hired them I suppose.
Isn't it from the Producer of Dog Soldiers, not the Director? From someone who made DS and The Descent, a film like this would be career-ruining.
