Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Mikelikesnotlikes A beer or two while watching this film will help. There's a few good laughs, if somewhat misogynistic, and there's nothing in the script that will strain your brain.Could be the writer was going through a break-up at the time which might explain why the women the characters live with are portrayed as unlikable and shrewish. The man/woman divide is destined to remain as wide as it ever was with this addition to cinematic fame.Doghouse is very male, very British, very gory and very funny - in places. It does tend to drag on near the end. Really could have benefited from tighter camera work, more variety and shorter run- time. Almost felt like they had to add a few minutes here and there to pad it out. Slightly overused the sets too, maybe a budget issue.Comparisons to Shaun of the Dead are unworthy. You should choose SOTD over this one, given the choice.I give it a 6 which to me means I found it slightly better than merely watchable.
Woodyanders A bunch of scruffy sexist pig guys find themselves in a remote isolated town in which an experimental biological weapon has transformed all the women into murderous man-hating monsters. While director Jake West keeps the pace moving at a cracking clip, generates a good deal of tension, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and demonstrates a flair for nifty visuals, Dan Schaffer's rather crude and offensive script alas leaves a pretty foul aftertaste due to an unfortunately well pronounced misogynistic bent that comes across as more heartfelt than tongue in cheek. Moreover, the main male characters are an uniformly obnoxious and unappealing pack of macho meathead blokes who are impossible to either like or care about, with Danny Dyer's crass lout Neil rating as the most hateful and repellent of the lot. That said, there are plenty of hilarious lines sprinkled throughout and a few funny gags. In addition, the distaff zombies are a quite funky and colorful bunch who include a morbidly obese hag, an axe-wielding bride, an old biddy hobbling on a walker, a lass who swings a mean sword, and, best of all, Emily Booth as a lethal hairdresser armed with a pair of deadly scissors. However, the abrupt and inconclusive ending simply stinks. Ali Asad's slick widescreen cinematography and the spirited score by Richard Wells are both up to par. A missed opportunity.
KineticSeoul This is suppose to be a zombie comedy but it fails in a lot of levels. It just seemed cheap and not because of the budget but because of the direction of it all including the acting. Yeah this is a movie that shouldn't be taken seriously but even when they are trying to act funny it just seemed so fake and lame. Which can be dismissed but even the humor in this doesn't work. It just seemed like the director just wanted to put a group of guys in a zombie town with a crappy build up, and them just trying to survive in by going about in bunch of goofy approaches. There is hardly any character development, maybe a little as they try to survive in the zombie overrun town but that is about it. So you hardly care about any of the characters if they die or not, and they aren't even all that likable. The zombies aren't even like zombies, they are stupid but they carry weapons and has slight human characteristics to them in another words they are more goofy than scary. Which in this movie just seemed lame and not effective at all. It's good to try something different sometimes, but not in this case. It just seemed the director was just inspired by zombie movies and video games and a bit from Guy Ritchie, but is a amateur since anyone could have directed this. I give it props for it trying to be a good zombie movie but it just fails in many levels like I said. The zombies don't even infect you if they bite you, instead they are like a man hating feminist cannibals with weapons. This isn't a awful zombie flick but wasn't all that good either.6/10
george-427 if your going to review a movie please watch all of it and not 2/3rds (or 1/2 if your lucky) because you would have seen this for what it is, pure gory trash horror. its not the smartest of films, hell its not the smartest if it was a slug, but its not meant to be. the thin story line is only there to hold the gore, slapstick comedy and quirky remarks together. its an OK film to sit with a few mates and a few beers and laugh at the stupidity of the characters and the situations they get them self in.the name comes from the fact that all the characters are in the doghouse for going away for the weekend when there wives or girlfriends don't want them to go.something goes wrong (what! no! really!)and the so called s*%t hits the fan.its funny,gory and daft, so sit back, switch of your smarts and enjoy a so bad its good British horror flick.
