We're thrilled to have Michael Layland return to the MHFS stage this month! After his brilliant screening of Bone Tomahawk in 2023, he'll be bringing us DOG SOLDIERS on March 26!
Michael says: "Dog Soldiers (2002) is considered by many to be a cult classic. It has been described as one of the loudest, goriest, and unexpectedly funniest werewolf movies ever made.
During a routine nighttime training mission in the Scottish Highlands, a small squad of British soldiers expected to rendezvous with a special ops unit instead find a bloody massacre with a sole survivor. Without transport or communications, the group is forced to retreat to a farmhouse to wait for the full moon to disappear at dawn.
There are no easy targets in this horror movie – no damsels tripping over non-existent tree roots. It’s a battle of the ages – an elite SAS unit versus a family of werewolves battling it out until the last man (or wolf) standing.
With plenty of laughs and not a single CGI effect in sight – it’s a refreshing step back into the days of good old fashioned monster movies.
The film is written, directed and edited by Neil Marshall in his first feature directional debut. Marshall will go on to other direct other films including The Descent and Hellboy.
It’s a laugh. It’s a scream. It’ll put hairs on your chest!"
Make sure you come along to LongPlay on March 26 for what's sure to be a great night!! Turn up any time from 6pm for a pre-drink in the bar (which will be open just for us!). You can also bring in food from nearby restaurants but make sure to keep the space clean.
Memberships will be available for cash on the night - $15 for a mini pass which gets you three screenings, or $50 for twelve screenings.
Thanks so much to Michael, we can't wait for the night!!
