‘Unflinchingly brutal and unrelentingly entertaining… Deservedly spoken of in the same breath as An American Werewolf in London… pretty much the perfect horror film’

‘A rip-roaring comedy action fest that’ll put hairs on your chest’
★★★★
BBC
‘Energy, wit and inventive gore… Marshall treads the line between laughs and tension expertly… Tabloids will most likely dub it ‘A Werewolf Movie With Real Bite!‘ and for once, they’ll be right. Low-rent entertainment of the highest order’

The highly anticipated box set is out now 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.

Koven, Combat: a short film by Neil Marshall, deleted scenes and gag reel plus much more.
During a routine training mission in the Scottish Highlands, a small squad of happy-go-lucky British soldiers, including Cooper (Kevin McKidd – Trainspotting), led by Sergeant Wells (Sean Pertwee – Event Horizon, Gotham), plan to join a Special Operations unit… but when they arrive all they find is bloody remains – and only one survivor, C.O. Ryan (Liam Cunningham – Hunger, Game of Thrones).
When the vicious perpetrators return, the group find themselves in mortal danger, but a mysterious zoologist, (Emma Cleasby – Doomsday, Lewis) miraculously saves them. Taking shelter in an abandoned farmhouse, with no means of escape, it’s only a matter of time before the attackers return…
When night falls and the full moon appears, carnage descends, and it’s werewolves versus soldiers in a battle for survival, as they face the unflinching terror of the Dog Soldiers. This unapologetically brutal and darkly funny horror will drive you barking mad with demented delight.
