A British squadron finds themselves in a bit of trouble when an exercise goes wrong thanks to the appearance of werewolves.
This is a very solid movie. Lot's of action. Lot's of characterization. Keeps you riveted every minute and on the edge of your seat. Sean Pertwee, Kevin McKidd & Liam Cunningham really make the characters work. They have a nice supporting cast as well.
It's basically like Evil Dead. A great evil in the wilderness taking out people stranded in the middle one by one. One of the major points that makes it work is that the production crew opted to make the werewolves out of men in suits instead of CGI. A bold move seen by the movie community. But really, how is this a bold move? When you see a CG werewolf, are you going to say "That's a Fuckin Werewolf!! Get Me The Fuck Away!!"? No. You're going to say "My god. That's some nice computer animation." By opting for MiS tactics, not only does it give the movie a level of believability, but it saves them a lot of money so they can buy blood and guts. Something the film community fails to understand.
All in all, this a great movie that will find itself in the classics pile as well as considered one of the best Werewolf movies ever. See this with friends or at a party. It's also great to watch home...alone.
Three stars.
