Lors de manoeuvres militaires en conditions réelles au coeur dune région hostile d’Écosse, six soldats des forces spéciales découvrent les corps mutilés des membres dun autre bataillon. À cours de munitions, privés de radio et isolés dans la forêt par une nuit de pleine lune, ils prennent vite conscience que, désormais, le gibier, ce sont eux, devenus la proie de créatures quils croyaient imaginaires, des loups-garous dont les aptitudes au combat pourraient les décimer jusquau dernier.

This film evoked for me the atmosphere of American film Feast, where a group of people are also trapped in a building besieged by monsters, so I could give it an average 3* and move on. Only I can't because of the tragedy of this film. And what was so tragic about it anyway? The actors, the script, the cinematography, the... maybe the only thing that was good were the creatures. In short, one of those not so good horror B-movies that can't be saved even by the guts spilling out of stomachs or the wannabe funny lines of the protagonists.

Qu'est-ce qui peut sauver un film d'action à petit budget avec un visuel inspiré d'une série autrichienne ? Un réalisateur compétent et créatif. Est-ce que Neil Marshall, est un réalisateur compétent et créatif ? Non. Il n'est pas capable de tourner même une séquence de conduite en jeep dans la forêt de manière dynamique.

Werewolves? Pfff! LOL! My neighbor's Chihuahuas are more dangerous when they grab my legs whenever I pass them. This British attempt at an action flick with lycantropes didn’t work out. Visually it is very poor, it would fit right in with the German or Austrian crap on commercial TV. Stupid dialogues, which is not a handicap in a B-movie, but mainly, most of the time it’s terribly tedious and not even the few bloody scenes with the cheerful werewolves can break that. The one scary scene at the beginning and the last ten minutes are alright, the rest is boring, boring, boring...

Pretty weak. I imagined a dark spectacle, backed by my favourite kind of supernatural monster: the werewolf. That said, the atmosphere isn't entirely bad, the deserted and misty forests have their charm, and the idea of a group of soldiers locked in a house surrounded on all sides by bloodthirsty beasts is fun, but there are a few buts. Starting with the smaller problem, the ridiculous look of the werewolves, to the bigger problem, the awful lack of action and blood. Regardless of how bad they look, we don’t even get to see the villains until three quarters into the film! But the biggest handicap I see is in the story itself, which fails to surprise or draw the viewer into the plot and for most of the time boredom reigns on the set. The lighter and rawer ending saves it a bit, but still a weak 50% for me.
