Vince is having a difficult time adjusting to the fact that his marriage is over so his mates decide to take him off on holiday outside London in a little village known as Moodley to get drunk and have a good time. What the gang doesn't expect is that Moodley female populace have been turned into bloodthirsty zombie savages thanks to a military virus. Fending off the flesh-eating monster women will not be an easy task as there become few places to hide or escape because their travel vehicle has been "confiscated" by the female driver who herself was infected by the virus.
Director Jake West(Evil Aliens)assembles a fun cast who spend almost the entire screen time running from building to building, warding off zombie women( unrelenting in their persistent search for man meat)while stuck inside the village of Moodley.
Danny Dyer is the womanizing Neil, who attains and discards the birds like a modern-day Alfie. Noel Clarke is Mikey, the one who convinced the others to take the trip to Moodley, knowing that his Gran would be on a cruise for two weeks(or so he thinks). Mikey's marriage is on the rocks, paralleling Vince's situation almost. Emil Marwa is the gay man of the group, Graham, who gets in an exchange of words with his male lover who feels slighted for not being invited along. Lee Ingleby is my favorite of the characters as a comic book/sci-fi geek, Matt who runs a store those at Comic Con would appreciate. Keith-Lee Castle is Patrick, often listening to self-help recordings which help to calm the soul during moments of great stress(his wife nags him incessantly, not appreciative to the idea that Patrick is leaving on a trip when her parents come to London to visit them). Patrick has a mean golf swing which definitely comes in handy. Stephen Graham is Vince, the brokenhearted divorcée who must pull himself together and lead his boys out of their sticky problem. Neil Maskell is Banksy, the electrician who suffers from Murphy's Law(and wears a T-shirt with a center bullseye, not the brightest choice of attire for this particular day), arriving into Moodley at the most opportune time when his friends need a ladder. Rounding out the male cast is Terry Stone as the remaining soldier, Gavin, still alive after the village of women had run havoc all over the place eating all the male locals.
Such funny bits include three of the group dressing in drag(in order to move among the female zombies), a remote control monster truck with a severed head in its back used to gain the attention of the monster women, the use of a sonar control which can stop the zombies in their tracks(Neil has fun toying with the zombie women, pushing the button on and off, teasing the creatures), Mikey's unfortunate run-in with a female butcher with a hatchet while attempting to hide in a meat shop, Neil's capture at the hands of a rotund female zombie with an affinity for "finger foods", and the mishap regarding a water gun and nitrol fluid(used for fueling the remote controlled trucks)which results in the explosion of Vince and Matt's hiding place, the store with few weapons to assist them. Lots of prosthetic effects, such as the ghoulish make-up for the female zombies(with ugly teeth and misshapen faces), body parts, and one doozy of a scene involving the Colonel over the military outfit, hanging on a fence with his chest open, his heart still beating. West and company have fun characterizing, as Romero would, the zombies such as one from a beauty salon with two pairs of scissors and a bride in a wedding dress armed with an ax. DOGHOUSE is essentially about a tightly knit group of buddies who have remained close friends over the years, no matter what troubles are in each member's life, and they must band together if they are to somehow survive.
