Only person I’ve ever seen go hand to hand with a werewolf and actually seemed to be winning for a good bit. If it had only been one on one, he could’ve easily taken it.
"Come an' have a go, if you think you're haaard enouuughh!" Spoon was my fave character, right along with Cooper and and the Sarge (Sean Pertwee) were so likeable. Such an easy shoe-in, for top 5 in the Werewolf genre.
I'm ex British army and this was one of best performances of actors portraying British soldiers I've ever seen, the banter, the language, sweet yet horrible memories 😂
I got chased by a werewolf near Balmacara in the kyle of Localsh. I think it was a werewolf but it might have been an Angus, whatever it was, it was angry.😂
Spoony is my favorite character, and went out in the most badass way possible. The acting in this one is so effing good. Sean Pertwee and Liam Cunningham always deliver hard. 😍
Fun Fact' The 1st soldier who gets killed when his head gets ripped off through the window is an actual old friend of mine and Gym training partner his name is Lesley Simpson he was also the main Cave Demon in the Movie Descent' he's now living in Australia doing movies there' very nice humble guy.
He was schoolfriends with some mates of mine and he turned up to the pub one night when a mate was doing a gig. Totally lost my mind cos this was my favourite movie. We ended up going round some lads house afterwards for a drink and he told me about the descent which wasn't out yet. If I remember correctly he said it was called crawlspace. Good guy
@@thatbloodyjohnloader2826 Yeh Leslie is a call guy humble as well' yep he showed me pics of the making of the Descent movie i remember him saying it was Crawl Space' he also did i think his 1st movie was a Vampire movie something to do with Drugs LSD concept of being in the Blood i did watch it one time long ago lol hope to see him come back to Middlesbrough again.
This is the perfect werewolf movie. The "victims" aren't a bunch of lost campers or hapless hiker, but well trained, heavily armed soldiers. They don't panic, they fight back with all they have to the point that Spoon was throwing everything but the kitchen sink at one.
Fun fact, Director Neil Marshall didn't want to make a werewolf movie with soldiers, he wanted to make a soldier movie with werewolves, and it really worked. Also, they actually blew up the house, it was only a shell of the front and one side, the internal shots were in a studio.
A lot of the time they use sets for the interiors even if it’s a real house. Sometimes that results in some unintentional comedy. There are movies where just the living room on the set wouldn’t fit inside the exterior they show.
@@toddjones1480 Sets also allow you to intentionally screw with the audience, such as the scene with Andy on his tricycle in The Shining, he makes around seven left turns and never once returns to the same location because Kubrick had stagehands switching out chunks of set every time Andy went around a corner.
@@robertraszkowski3016 Poor Kat always either getting upset at animals being harmed, or now with them being trained to do so themselves. She can't avoid it. 😄
The Russians trained dogs to attack German tanks in WW2. The dog had a mine strapped to its back with a small pole sticking upright. The dog would dive under the tank and crawl forward, the stick would depress and BOOM! The problem is they trained them using Russian tanks, which smell different and sound different to German tanks. When they first tried it in action the dogs apparently turned about and ran under their own tanks... so the program was stopped. Very fortunate for the dogs of Russia.
14:37 Read this interesting tidbit about this disturbing sequence: "The script originally called for the dog to pull at the wounded soldiers exposed intestines, but Marshall changed it to pulling the bandage instead. “But the reaction is that people either think it’s the intestines anyway or they think that the bandage is bad enough and they’re still grossed out.” "
@@RaefonB I thought the same when I first saw this movie but I later realised if it was his intestines, the sarge would have been screaming from the pain.
A fun story about Dog soldiers, is that it was actually funded by a guy who was a cabbage tycoon, who was looking to invest some money in a movie, The production had been trying for 6 years to get the money to make the film, and this guy luckily gave it them and produced one of the greatest werewolf movies ever. It's an absolute must watch for any werewolf fans
This was the last film I ever saw in a cinema with me, my misses, best friend and his misses. It holds a special place in my heart. It's a fantastic movie.
100% agree, good cinematics and totally encapsulates the Brit Squaddie (probably most squaddies in truth) to give it a go. "It's just that time of the month" just cracks me up.
So pleased that you got to this Kat! It's an absolute favourite of mine and a hidden gem! I noticed for the first time during this re-watch that Megan has a distinctive scar on her upper right arm, it's properly on show at the clip 26:43 So cool that they had that detail in there for anyone who looked closely before the reveal.
I used to watch werewolf movies with my Dad who used to tell he fought werewolf’s when he was in Vietnam so as a scared little kid I knew my daddy would save me from them. Best memories. RIP Daddy I’m still watching them for you.
10:38 ..."Get the spaghetti back in the bowl!" I like your commentary, your facial expressions and how you whip your arms and hands about, tense and ready for a fight with the air during every horror movie that you hate! 🤣 New subber and your hilarious reactions inspire!
A great fun and seriously underrated little movie. I can tell you that much of the banter between squaddies is spot on in tone and delivery too. The *best* thing in the movie though is Sean Pertwee's campfire ghost story. It's a really courageous thing to do in the middle of what is basically "Zulu with Werewolves". Creepy, haunting and beautifully delivered. It's the part of the film that sticks with you.
This is such a British film. The reactions are very natural for Englishmen and women. Also, fun fact, when the guy is laying on the bed and he is screaming for him to be hit the second time...the actor actually accidentally knocked him out, gave him a proper right hook to his jaw and knocked the actor out cold.
Kevin McKidd (from Grey's anatomy) was in an older HBO show called Rome with Ray Stevenson. It was good! Only two seasons, IIRC. He also had a quickly-canceled series about time travel called Journeyman that I thought deserved more of a chance.
Listen to the dvd commentary. Its the male actors getting drunk while watching. Also, the second punch on the sarge actually hit & the blood you see is real.
Fun fact. The director Neil Marshall is from Newcastle in North East England, he directed Dog Soldiers which featured Liam Cunningham who went on to play Davos in Games of Thrones. Neil Marshall also directed numerous episodes of Game of Thrones. Liam Cunningham based Davos' accent on Liam Cunningham's Newcastle accent. The actor playing Spoon is also from the North East (Hartlepool) so you might notice some similarities between Spoon and Davos' accent if you aren't previous used to accents from that part of the world.
- Sean Pertwee/Wells is my favourite character (Sean Pertwee is always fantastic), but Darren Morfitt/Spoon has the best line in the movie. "I hope I give you the sh*ts you f**ckin' wimp!" - If you aren't aware, Neil Marshall wrote and directed this movie as well as The Descent which you've also seen and crapped your pants at! Another British movie recommendation for you is Creep (2004). (not the American 2014 movie of the same name)
Awesome reactions from Kat, to the incredible Dog Soldiers. Everyone involved in the making of this movie are amazing, but Sean Pertwee's performance is absolutely on fire.
The director said "This isn't a werewolf movie with soldiers. It's a soldier movie with werewolves." That's why it feels more like a "surrounded and outnumbered" war movie than a standard horror movie. It even pays homage to "Zulu," one of the great "surrounded and outnumbered" war movies, when Spoon mentions Rorke's Drift, the 1879 battle that movie was based on.
That bit at the beginning, where he's being hunted through the woods is a latter part of the SAS training regimine. Telling him to shoot the dog was the beginning of the next part, the brutal psychological phase where they're trained to resist interrogation techniques. It's one of most grueling training programmes in the world which is why it produces the best special forces operatives in the world.
Cooper started the movie by saying he would not kill a dog for no reason... and he ended it by killing a werewolf because he had to save his life... GOOD GODS I love this movie.
The takeaway is that he was saved by a dog from the guy that ordered him to shoot the original dog. He was kind to the animal and it made the difference in the end.
@@vinniedixon1140 they're big and floofy and bark, they're dogs. In fact they're better than dogs because most of the time they clean up after themselves and feed themselves and don't shed anywhere near as much
From 2002 until now I believe that Dog Soldiers is the perfect low budget horror thriller movie about Werewolves. Neil Marshal , the director of the movie did his thing. What he knows to do best. Direct the movie so flawless. And credits also to Mark Thomas about the badass soundtrack of the movie. A movie rare gem. Straight to point, no rubish, gothic atmosphere, gory, brutal and unpredictable, full of suspense. Script has great time flaw . No filler scenes. Everything has a point. That's way you do it. Horror builds in every minute. A badass werewolf movie .
I've seen this ten times over these 20-year lifespan and each time, I vote "Favorite Werewolf Movie". It's claustrophobic, too, so tension is almost a constant but I never get used to it.
I definitely chimed in on recommending this one after American Werewolf in London, really glad to see I wasn't alone in championing it! Super glad you enjoyed it, in some ways I feel like this compares to "rule of cool" monster movies like From Dusk Til Dawn, where the movie logic pulls from myth and other movies whenever it feels it'll add to this story, and there's a lot of "go with it, we're leaving it vague on purpose". Rewatching it, I'd forgotten how much of the humour comes from British "Lad" culture, especially football references ("They think it's all over...it is now!" is ingrained into our lexicon, purely from a fevered moment of match commentary replayed forever), but it all scans for these guys being squaddies. Beautiful stuff, and one of my favourite Sean Pertwee projects, he really gets to play around
Thank you so much for reacting to this film. My late cousin Tom Lockyer is in this film, he plays Bruce, the soldier with the radio who was impaled on the tree branch early on. I love that he was in this incredible, brilliant film. A great legacy for him. It’s just SO good❤️
This movie is full of homages like the homage to "The Matrix" when Sgt. Wells picks up his wristwatch from the puddle of gore and says "The is no Spoon" and the fact that the Sgt.'s full name is Harry G. Wells as an homage to classic sci-fi auhor H.G. Wells.
One thing I love about your reactions is they are authentic, like she when the dog at the start gets shot, I have seen people laugh at that, makes no sense and also yes you are correct, that is Davos from Game of Thrones aka Liam Cunningham.Sharing your channel with my Apple coworkers
I remember watching the director and writers answering questions and the question of why she had not turned with the family came up and basically the way they described it is like needing to poop you can given in and go as soon as you feel you need to or you can chew it back and hold it in for as long as you can until you can no longer hold it in, so her character genuinely wanted out I think and so she was holding it in in the hopes the soldiers could hold off the werewolf's until morning but when she realized they couldn't she switched sides back to the werewolf side and in the end let the transformation happen. This is one of my fave werewolf movies it sadly however never got the recognition it should have and because it was a budget movie it was barely advertised and i think it never even made it to US cinemas due to it not being advertised to gain interest, thing I like most is there was no CGI and the werewolfs where all practical
I think the movie sort of implied that you can hold in transforming during the full moon, like Sarge and Megan, and hold off transforming back into a human during the day, like Ryan. With the bathroom analogy that Copper and Sage discussed, you can hold off going to the toilet for a while, but eventually, you can't. As far as I can tell, Megan was a real zoologist who went out to study the rumours, got infected and was "adopted" by the family. She had no intention of betraying Ryan or Sarge's team and hoped they would get her out. She must have staved off transforming when the rest of the family did, went out looking for Ryan's team, and found the Sarge's. She was desperate to leave the house when Copper suggested it, but the werewolves totalled the car. Then they wrecked the landrover they hotwired. Seeing no way to escape and with her running out of time holding off the transforming, she let the werewolves in to buy back loyalty. It looked to me that she felt guilty every time she attacked one of the werewolves and tried to talk them out of killing the family. My guess is she was worried she would be seen as a traitor when the soldiers lost.
I always loved the fact that this movie featured a squad of highly trained, well armed, professional soldiers and they still got the crap beaten out of them. Usually it's just a bunch of scared teenagers making obvious mistakes in running for their lives.
I was working 3rd shift, and wanted to bring a movie in to watch at work, checked the video rental section of the service station after getting gas and rented this VHS on a whim. It didn’t disappoint. Such a great original werewolf movie. The YT channel GoodBadFlick did a real good video covering the making of this movie. It’s interesting and worth watching. Great reaction as always Kat.
My number two werewolf movie right after The Howling (1981). The actors were just born for those kind of characters. Great cast. And very talented cinematography. Loved it as well, that the werewolf POV shots were black and white since canines don't see that well other than felines.
Thank you for watching this movie! I am really happy you liked it that much. :D It is one of the best Werewolf movies out there, but also a lesser known one. I bought the DVD back in the day on a whim without knowing anything about it, but I fell in love with it immediately.
This is my favorite werewolf movie. Sean Pertwee is seriously underrated - he also played Smith in Event Horizon. Another werewolf movie I recommend, despite its complete hokiness which makes it more comedic than scary, in my opinion, is Bad Moon. It holds a special place in my heart because of a prank that my mom pulled on me and my sister when we were young in which she had a really tall friend wear a mask that was very similar to the werewolf in the movie and had him creep around her trailer scratching at the walls and pretending to grab our childhood friend, Ethan's, mom when she went to check that the back door of the trailer was latched. He let out quite a string of expletives when that happened. We were all terrified. The "werewolf/Dogman" then stood outside the window directly behind the couch until I saw him out of the corner of my eye and flinched. My sister saw I was staring at something, turned to see what appeared to be the very same face we had just seen in the movie then she screamed and cried. My mom even had the local radio station play into it by emphasizing the Michigan legend of Dogman before her friend put on his performance. She was such a prankster and I miss her dearly.
Wolf is a good one. James Spader is another actor who doesn't receive enough love for his brilliance. I haven't seen Ginger Snaps. I'll have to look into that one.
@@Crite_Wrangler Ginger Snaps really reframes lycanthropy in an interesting way. Definitely worth a watch. And yes, James Spader is an excellent actor who should be more beloved.
The film is full of references to football, and Cooper's last line is almost directly lifted from Kenneth Wolstenholme's commentary of the 1966 World Cup final. It's the final seconds of the match, England are 3:2 up against West Germany, and the crowd begins to spill over from the terrace: "Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over!" then, as Geoff Hurst puts away his 3rd goal of the game; "It is now! It's four!"
Oh wow what a good movie choice! I haven't seen Dog Soldiers in years, and nobody seems to know what I'm talking about when I bring it up. Looking forward to this one :D
Dog Soldiers has some decent effects, a solid cast, and is on the whole a lot of fun. I again recommend Bad Moon. Highly underrated 90s werewolf movie, based on a book.
Bad Moon terrified me as a kid. Woke up to a full moon outside my window, and just knew I was going to see the silhouette of a werewolf stalking past it. I trembled in fear until I passed back out. Good times, man. Good times.
I hope you watch The Howling next, Kat! It came out the same year as An American Werewolf in London and is considered one of the greatest werewolf movies of all time. 😊
Also, the actor who plays the Sergent is also in Howl. Megan turned to a werewolf because she cut her hand on glass with wolf blood on it got into her bloodstream.

Spoon deserved an award for best last stand in a horror movie
Motherfucker BOXED A WEREWOLF. Spoon was a legend.
there is no spoon 😞
Only person I’ve ever seen go hand to hand with a werewolf and actually seemed to be winning for a good bit.
If it had only been one on one, he could’ve easily taken it.
Yep, he gave that woof hell. If it had survived it really would have been sore tomorrow.
Let's hope he lived up to his last words by giving them werewolves the runs, before Sergeant Wells blew the house to smithereens.
"Come an' have a go, if you think you're haaard enouuughh!" Spoon was my fave character, right along with Cooper and and the Sarge (Sean Pertwee) were so likeable. Such an easy shoe-in, for top 5 in the Werewolf genre.

Couple years later he was up there killing sheep with mortars!

Werewolves have always been a big problem for us here in Scotland & thankfully we finally got a movie that took the time to show that.
I’ve not come across any stories on RUclips about Scottish werewolves? Are there many stories?
Red headed tall werewolve scottish ladies, aint that the dream girlfriend?
Aye, I ken, but at least we haven't got many Geordies, thank christ.
I got chased by a werewolf near Balmacara in the kyle of Localsh.
I think it was a werewolf but it might have been an Angus, whatever it was, it was angry.😂
Yep never clean up after themselves
Spoony is my favorite character, and went out in the most badass way possible.
The acting in this one is so effing good. Sean Pertwee and Liam Cunningham always deliver hard. 😍
Of course Spoon went out like a badarse. He was from the Northeast. (Not a Geordie though, that was Joe, Spoon was from east durham)
I'm still laughing at the "there is no spoon" joke 22 years later.
Just love him rucking with the Wearwolf like a UNIT!!

The single greatest line from any werewolf movie: "Fetch". 😂🤣
This is the perfect werewolf movie. The "victims" aren't a bunch of lost campers or hapless hiker, but well trained, heavily armed soldiers. They don't panic, they fight back with all they have to the point that Spoon was throwing everything but the kitchen sink at one.
And if Spoon had somehow managed to pry the sink free and use it as a weapon, he'd probably have won!
Spoon most badass guy in a horror movie ever. Fist fight one on one with a werewolf and kicked it's ass until the other wolf snuck up from behind

The dog would dive under the tank and crawl forward, the stick would depress and BOOM! The problem is they trained them using Russian tanks, which smell different and sound different to German tanks.

Another werewolf movie you should consider is "The Howling" (1981) with an ensemble cast. It has incredible makeup and practical effects.
Awesome flick!
Yeah, it's probably the #1 werewolf movie when it comes to creature design.
Agree, but us she ready yet?
Personally I think van helsing takes best werewolf design. Or maybe bad moon
@@kingsora6352 Agreed. "Bad Moon" design is my personal favourite, have a soft spot for that movie overall.

Such a criminally underrated movie. Always love seeing more people discovering it.

It's not underrated at all, on the contrary it's quite highly rated and a frequently celebrated British Horror film
"ho ho ho ho ho, Sons of Gondor" had me actually lol
Thanks to Kat, I now focus on mundane things in horror movies and pronounce them as the real horror. “Hogging gum.” Love it!

It's one of most grueling training programmes in the world which is why it produces the best special forces operatives in the world.
Cooper started the movie by saying he would not kill a dog for no reason... and he ended it by killing a werewolf because he had to save his life... GOOD GODS I love this movie.
Werewolf isn't a dog.
The takeaway is that he was saved by a dog from the guy that ordered him to shoot the original dog. He was kind to the animal and it made the difference in the end.
@@vinniedixon1140 they're big and floofy and bark, they're dogs.
In fact they're better than dogs because most of the time they clean up after themselves and feed themselves and don't shed anywhere near as much
@@crwydrynywerewolves don't bark. They're not dogs, they're lycans
@@rosita3528 But they're dogs, though.
They didn't keep something silver in the house. That little silver knife was the gift from the beginning of the movie. -OG
From 2002 until now I believe that Dog Soldiers is the perfect low budget horror thriller movie about Werewolves. Neil Marshal , the director of the movie did his thing. What he knows to do best. Direct the movie so flawless. And credits also to Mark Thomas about the badass soundtrack of the movie. A movie rare gem. Straight to point, no rubish, gothic atmosphere, gory, brutal and unpredictable, full of suspense. Script has great time flaw . No filler scenes. Everything has a point. That's way you do it. Horror builds in every minute. A badass werewolf movie .
Yes!!!! New sub here. Awesome you're channel is for horror only. Super stoked. A great first watch of your reactions with many more to go!!
"GET THE SPAGHETTI BACK IN THE BOWL" 😂 hahaha That was pure gold Kat 👍 😆
13:41: I love the subtle scratching behind her ear.
I've seen this ten times over these 20-year lifespan and each time, I vote "Favorite Werewolf Movie". It's claustrophobic, too, so tension is almost a constant but I never get used to it.
I definitely chimed in on recommending this one after American Werewolf in London, really glad to see I wasn't alone in championing it! Super glad you enjoyed it, in some ways I feel like this compares to "rule of cool" monster movies like From Dusk Til Dawn, where the movie logic pulls from myth and other movies whenever it feels it'll add to this story, and there's a lot of "go with it, we're leaving it vague on purpose".
Rewatching it, I'd forgotten how much of the humour comes from British "Lad" culture, especially football references ("They think it's all over...it is now!" is ingrained into our lexicon, purely from a fevered moment of match commentary replayed forever), but it all scans for these guys being squaddies. Beautiful stuff, and one of my favourite Sean Pertwee projects, he really gets to play around
I wish more people reacted to this movie
Yes!
Word!
Thank you so much for reacting to this film. My late cousin Tom Lockyer is in this film, he plays Bruce, the soldier with the radio who was impaled on the tree branch early on. I love that he was in this incredible, brilliant film. A great legacy for him. It’s just SO good❤️
He did a first rate job in this film. Such a great cast. I remember him as Jacob in Ultraviolet. He was great in that too. 👍
This is legitimately one of my top 5 all time favourite movies. So glad you watched this one.
From the guy who brought you The Descent! Great choice and the best reaction channel on youtube! 😊
This movie is full of homages like the homage to "The Matrix" when Sgt. Wells picks up his wristwatch from the puddle of gore and says "The is no Spoon" and the fact that the Sgt.'s full name is Harry G. Wells as an homage to classic sci-fi auhor H.G. Wells.
One thing I love about your reactions is they are authentic, like she when the dog at the start gets shot, I have seen people laugh at that, makes no sense and also yes you are correct, that is Davos from Game of Thrones aka Liam Cunningham.Sharing your channel with my Apple coworkers
I remember watching the director and writers answering questions and the question of why she had not turned with the family came up and basically the way they described it is like needing to poop you can given in and go as soon as you feel you need to or you can chew it back and hold it in for as long as you can until you can no longer hold it in, so her character genuinely wanted out I think and so she was holding it in in the hopes the soldiers could hold off the werewolf's until morning but when she realized they couldn't she switched sides back to the werewolf side and in the end let the transformation happen.
This is one of my fave werewolf movies it sadly however never got the recognition it should have and because it was a budget movie it was barely advertised and i think it never even made it to US cinemas due to it not being advertised to gain interest, thing I like most is there was no CGI and the werewolfs where all practical
Your reaction was a delight to watch. Incredibly expressive face combined with intelligent, insightful analysis, delivered with charm. Nicely done!
Put the spaghetti back in the bowl...lol.🍝🤣
The "squad leader" is Liam Cunningham. He's also in a film called Let Us Prey. Definitely worth a watch or ten.
Another awesome reaction Kat. I don’t think I will ever look at spaghetti the same way again! ‘Put the spaghetti back in the bowl” 🤣
I think the movie sort of implied that you can hold in transforming during the full moon, like Sarge and Megan, and hold off transforming back into a human during the day, like Ryan. With the bathroom analogy that Copper and Sage discussed, you can hold off going to the toilet for a while, but eventually, you can't. As far as I can tell, Megan was a real zoologist who went out to study the rumours, got infected and was "adopted" by the family. She had no intention of betraying Ryan or Sarge's team and hoped they would get her out. She must have staved off transforming when the rest of the family did, went out looking for Ryan's team, and found the Sarge's.
She was desperate to leave the house when Copper suggested it, but the werewolves totalled the car. Then they wrecked the landrover they hotwired. Seeing no way to escape and with her running out of time holding off the transforming, she let the werewolves in to buy back loyalty. It looked to me that she felt guilty every time she attacked one of the werewolves and tried to talk them out of killing the family. My guess is she was worried she would be seen as a traitor when the soldiers lost.
Just saw this for the first time during Halloween and thought it's one of the best werewolf movie I ever seen. Just fantastic!
"Fetch!" Best line in a werewolf movie ever.
"I hope nothing bad happens to any of them"
I'm sure they'll be fine.
I always loved the fact that this movie featured a squad of highly trained, well armed, professional soldiers and they still got the crap beaten out of them.
Usually it's just a bunch of scared teenagers making obvious mistakes in running for their lives.
You should absolutely watch Stephen King's Silver Bullet. It's a movie where Gary Busey is the voice of reason.
That's a sentence that you don't see every day.
Lmao facts
Favorite werewolf movie. Yes, even more than American werewolf in London.
The banter in this is just *chefs kiss*
I was working 3rd shift, and wanted to bring a movie in to watch at work, checked the video rental section of the service station after getting gas and rented this VHS on a whim. It didn’t disappoint. Such a great original werewolf movie. The YT channel GoodBadFlick did a real good video covering the making of this movie. It’s interesting and worth watching. Great reaction as always Kat.
This is such a great movie! I don’t know why more people haven’t seen it, your amazing by the way love your energy for the work
My number two werewolf movie right after The Howling (1981). The actors were just born for those kind of characters. Great cast. And very talented cinematography. Loved it as well, that the werewolf POV shots were black and white since canines don't see that well other than felines.
Thank you for watching this movie!
I am really happy you liked it that much. :D
It is one of the best Werewolf movies out there, but also a lesser known one.
I bought the DVD back in the day on a whim without knowing anything about it, but I fell in love with it immediately.
I bought it on DVD back in the day as well. There came a time where I had to skim my collection and I made sure to keep it and still have it. Classic!
This is one of my favourite werewolf movies, at the top with American Werewolf in London. Just amazing!
I don't know if you're a Doctor Who fan, but the actor who plays the Sgt is Sean Pertwee, the son of Third Doctor actor John Pertwee.
This is such a fun and well-made movie, I'm glad you liked it too! I always enjoy with your comments and reactions, have a nice week Kat!
This is my favorite werewolf movie. Sean Pertwee is seriously underrated - he also played Smith in Event Horizon. Another werewolf movie I recommend, despite its complete hokiness which makes it more comedic than scary, in my opinion, is Bad Moon. It holds a special place in my heart because of a prank that my mom pulled on me and my sister when we were young in which she had a really tall friend wear a mask that was very similar to the werewolf in the movie and had him creep around her trailer scratching at the walls and pretending to grab our childhood friend, Ethan's, mom when she went to check that the back door of the trailer was latched. He let out quite a string of expletives when that happened. We were all terrified. The "werewolf/Dogman" then stood outside the window directly behind the couch until I saw him out of the corner of my eye and flinched. My sister saw I was staring at something, turned to see what appeared to be the very same face we had just seen in the movie then she screamed and cried. My mom even had the local radio station play into it by emphasizing the Michigan legend of Dogman before her friend put on his performance. She was such a prankster and I miss her dearly.
I also enjoyed Wolf (with Nicholson, Spader and Pfeiffer) and Ginger Snaps.
Wolf is a good one. James Spader is another actor who doesn't receive enough love for his brilliance. I haven't seen Ginger Snaps. I'll have to look into that one.
Love Bad Moon. Wildly underrated, but it's great for such a small cast.
@@Crite_Wrangler Ginger Snaps really reframes lycanthropy in an interesting way. Definitely worth a watch. And yes, James Spader is an excellent actor who should be more beloved.
Omg yaaaassss.. Kat finally did it and delved into this absolute classic. Nice one, Kat! This movoe is one of my guilty pleasures 😂
I love this film. Possibly the best British horror film for years. I hope you can watch more British horror films in the future 😊.
The film is full of references to football, and Cooper's last line is almost directly lifted from Kenneth Wolstenholme's commentary of the 1966 World Cup final. It's the final seconds of the match, England are 3:2 up against West Germany, and the crowd begins to spill over from the terrace: "Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over!" then, as Geoff Hurst puts away his 3rd goal of the game; "It is now! It's four!"
Oh wow what a good movie choice! I haven't seen Dog Soldiers in years, and nobody seems to know what I'm talking about when I bring it up. Looking forward to this one :D
Hi Kat, I enjoyed your reactions to Dog Soldiers, especially the Squaddies banter. I forgot how much I loved this movie!
Dog Soldiers has some decent effects, a solid cast, and is on the whole a lot of fun.
I again recommend Bad Moon. Highly underrated 90s werewolf movie, based on a book.
Bad Moon is great
Steven Kings Silver Bullet is good too
@@shanelogan630 For sure. Kat would love it. RIP to Haim.
Bad Moon terrified me as a kid. Woke up to a full moon outside my window, and just knew I was going to see the silhouette of a werewolf stalking past it. I trembled in fear until I passed back out. Good times, man. Good times.
34:52 This is the equivalent to an Englishman quoting Braveheart
I hope you watch The Howling next, Kat! It came out the same year as An American Werewolf in London and is considered one of the greatest werewolf movies of all time. 😊
Also, the actor who plays the Sergent is also in Howl. Megan turned to a werewolf because she cut her hand on glass with wolf blood on it got into her bloodstream.
Sure. I would love that!
I love this movie. Ser Davos looks so young. Also, Sean Pertwee is the son of Jon Pertwee, the third Doctor in Doctor Who.
Im glad i found that channel. Youre fun😂
Best time of the week!! ❤
