"We are now up against live, hostile targets. So, if Little Red Riding Hood should show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude, I expect you to chin the bitch." - Sgt. Harry Wells

Why watch this? A company of British soldiers against a bunch of werewolves. Oh yeah!

Plot Summary: A squad of British soldiers, on a training exercise in the Scottish Highlands, stumble upon the remains of a Special Forces unit and discover they're being hunted by a pack of werewolves. The soldiers take refuge in a secluded farmhouse and must fight to survive the night against the monstrous creatures.

Dad's Preview: I love it when a film comes along, quietly, and revitalizes one of my favorite genres. This exciting romp does that and more. British soldiers on a training mission in the Scottish Highlands encounter a coven of rather vicious lycanthropes. It's frantic, exciting, and brings to life some of the most terrifying werewolves on screen to date. These nasty canines are 7-feet tall! Professional dancers were brought in to portray the monsters because the director wanted them to appear fit and move gracefully... and I gotta say, it's a cool look.
