While the subject matter of Dog Soldiers – highly trained soldiers encountering a relentless pack of werewolves – may sound howlingly bad and predictable, I can happily report that the end results are done with a good amount of smarts as well as a number of thrills and chills. And topped off by some effective black humor. This is one B movie that without doubt should have crossed into the mainstream.

NOTE: From now on, I’ll be updating with a new review every ten days instead of every fourteen days. See you again sooner rather than later!

They’re better than all right. They’re the Rising Generation, and they’ve got guts. Yours. And they’re ripping them out even as we speak…

We Are What We Eat (2012) is a short zombie film written and directed by Sam Toller, a 16 year old film-maker from the UK. It’s being premiered at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth in Seattle on Friday April 27, 2012, at 11:00pm (Toller isn’t even the youngest director represented in the Festival’s Late Night Horror Show, which I find a very encouraging sign). You know all the times I’ve moaned that every kid with a camera and a bucket of fake blood thinks he can make a zombie movie? Well, I will never make that comparison again… because it turns out there’s at least one who does it pretty well.

Unfortunately, I can’t make it to the show myself; but if anybody’s in the area and has a chance to attend the Late Night Horror Show, please post your impressions in the Comments.

Oh — and that sound you hear in the distance is Mary Whitehouse shrieking in Hell.

Although The Unknown Movies doesn’t have to follow any Canadian content laws, I review the occasional Canadian movie so that The Powers That Be won’t notice a lack of Canadiana on my site and subsequently pass a law that would force me to review Canadian movies more frequently. If you have seen as many bad and/or unwatchable Canadian movies as I have, like Crossover, you would understand my fears.
