I wish someone would tell me why Twilight is so bad or awful? I haven’t read the books or seen the films. Are they THAT awful?

Even I didn’t like this, and I’m a pretty easy audience. I’m arranging a good werewolf movie night for my younger friends so I can make them all watch Company of Wolves cause none of them have even heard of it.

In reply to Tea Drinker. Dog Soldiers is absolute climatic gold and I'd defend it to my last breath. Definitely check it out if you love your monster movies, but especially check it out if you like small-budget, high-skill indie flicks. It's a beauty.

In reply to fluxxed. I still have no idea why I didn't walk out of Sucker Punch. Grueling masochism? Anyway, I wish I had done.

I’m impressed you managed to stay awake through this, even inventing my own dimensions for the characters left me in dire need of punching myself in the face every five or ten minutes for excitement.

Strange that I walked out of Sucker Punch but not this, though. I must have been feeling particularly self-punishing that day!

One of my friends is a massive Red Riding Hood geek, but I think even she is going to struggle to get through this movie. Love The Company of Wolves and American Werewolf in London, but I've never seen Dog Soldiers.

In reply to Lola.

Lola, I will happily sacrifice an hour+ of my time so that fellow werewolf fans don’t have to sit through what I sat through. I’m selfless like that.

It’s so sad – there’s no transformation scenes (usually my favourite bit) in this, and the werewolf does look quite fun – he’s big and chunky, but strangely thin in the middle. Big paws. Takes people’s arms off. Sigh.

WHY CAN’T WE JUST HAVE RAMPAGE FILMS ANY MORE. COME ON, CINEMA.

I love werewolf films in the same way as you. I will now not watch this film, I hope you feel that even though you wasted your own time you have saved mine. Bless you.

On the point of boredom though – I just drift of into another realm in my mind, I would have probably fell asleep!
