Let's face it: Horror movies have been on a long slide downwards. All of the 90's "slasher" films were boring, repetitive, and totally unimaginative. Dog Soldiers threw all that garbage away.

See this movie, even if you are American, and can't understand it all the time; there's plenty of gore to entertain you.
