A band of soldiers is dispatched to war games deep in the woods. When they stumble across a rival team slaughtered in camp, they realize they're not alone.
Practical Effects
Werewolf suits over CGI—tall, gangly, actually scary in shadows.
Writing
Squad banter so authentic you'll miss soldiers you just met.
Acting
Kevin McKidd's arc from wimp to wolf-slayer is *chef's kiss*.
Director
Neil Marshall
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The werewolf suits were so tall that actors had to wear stilts; one performer fell through the farmhouse floor. Director Neil Marshall kept it.
This film essentially bankrupted its production company but became the blueprint for 'soldiers vs monsters'—without it, no 'The Descent' and arguably no 'Attack the Block.'
