Dog Soldiers - 2002 - 6/10

Cowabunga!
Claustrophobic actioner finds military squad trapped in seemingly deserted country house.
Besieged by a pack of werewolves!
Howlingly funny at times, this does not take itself too seriously. (Monsters are stuffed puppets or cardboard standups.)
Government plots offset by dark humor.
Good macho cast anchored by Liam Cunningham, Kevin McKidd, and Sean Pertwee (Why, by the way, is Pertwee not considered for Dr. Who? He is a ringer of his pa.).
Director Neil Marshall would go on to bigger budgeted movies, but none had the heart and humor of this one.
