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.
Dr_Drew_Says Doghouse (2009): The Good, the Bad and the NastySynopsis: A British film about a group of men having a "get-a-way" for a member of their pack that is getting a divorce. They rent a tour bus to take them to a remote town to drink away their troubles with hopes of encountering the opposite sex. What they find is undead, unholy and fully man-hating.The Good: I thought that the cast of guys did about as well with this script as they could. You kinda liked (or hated) most of them because of their character... which is a good thing. You were rooting FOR them as a group, not against them. I can't tell you how many schlocky horror films I watch where I just want the characters to die some agonizing death just to be rid of them. Not here. You could tell they were a tight-knit group and it felt genuine... even when the scenes were of disagreements and hostility. Each character was unique and fit within the group. Nice job casting and it made the movie bearable.The Bad: Unfortunately, there's a lot more bad than good. This whole thing has been done SO MANY times. There was nothing new aside from the "man-hating" aspect to it. So a virus turns ONLY the women into zombies and they in turn are now man-hating flesh eaters. Okay then. The only thing to make it more cheesy would be to involve the army... oh wait. Well, there goes the originality. There's a fair amount of gore and action, but it gets stale fast. I found myself checking Facebook a lot in the last half hour. Snooze. It's just one long chase scene with the same female zombies. Again, the dialogue between the guys is somewhat interesting and you ARE rooting for them at first, but you sort of lose your fervor for it after about an hour. You just end up not caring. And if I recall correctly, not caring while watching a movie is a bad thing.The Nasty: I guess this town was made up of weird axe-wielding strippers and hairstylists who also specialized in S&M, hey? The zombies just came off a little odd. So you put chicks in sexy outfits and then make them nasty ugly and vomit black stuff and that's supposed to be enticing or appealing? Pass.
Adam Podmore Friday night in with my girl, zombie movies and popcorn a real gore fest.I thought this film had great casting, now I am not a Danny Dyer fan or Noel Clarke but they did a great job in this film and the chemistry between them and Stephen Graham (first class Brit Actor) was spot on. Its easy watching, but gets a bit silly in the middle of the film, for me that took some of the enjoyment away.Plenty of gore.I don't really know what else to say, I found the concept strange but hey each to their own and it worked.
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.
