Little Pigs, Little Pigs… We’ve Come to Nick Ya Video

ATTENTION! A brand-new restoration of Neil Marshall’s wickedly wild werewolf feature Dog Soldiers is marching on to Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray as well as Standard Edition 4K UHD and Blu-ray single releases courtesy of Second Sight Films this Summer. This humorous gorefest and bonafide cult classic now gets a must-have collectors edition.

First released in 2002 DOG SOLDIERS opens with Craig Conway(Doomsday, Final Score) and Tina Landini(Family Affairs, Shockers) on a romantic camping trip in the wilds of Scotland. She gifts him a letter opener and in fine Checkhov’s Gun style announces it’s made of silver, so we get a feeling of where things are headed. Back in the tent things are about to be unzipped, when something begins to unzip their tent. Alas, poor campers…

4 weeks later and a six man team of soldiers (Sean Pertwee, Kevin McKidd, Darren Morfitt, Chris Robson, Leslie Simpson and Thomas Lockyer) are dropped into the area by helicopter to carry out a training mission joining up with a team from the SAS. They find the SAS squad, who’ve clearly met the same fate as the campers with the only survivor being Capt Ryan. When the mystery assailants return the troop retreat, making it to a roadside where they are met by Megan (Emma Cleasby – Doomsday, F) who takes them to her country house where they hole up as things escalate and they discover the true nature of their attackers and it’s Werewolves vs Soldiers in a battle for survival.

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.

This highly anticipated box set arrives on 22nd August 2022 and includes a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative approved by the director himself and Sam McCurdy the director of photography. The Limited Edition comes in a rigid slipcase with brand-new artwork by Chris Malbon and a 108-page book with new essays. It’s packed full of special features including brand new and archive commentaries, a new 40-minute interview with Neil Marshall, Werewolves vs Soldiers: The Making of, A History of Lycanthropy from author Gavin Baddeley, Werewolves, Folklore and Cinema: a video essay by author Mikel J. Koven, Combat: a short film by Neil Marshall, deleted scenes and gag reel plus much more. See the details below.
