Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Falls back mainly on army squad clichés and rote conflicts, along the way delivering a group of protagonists woefully short on personality. Rated: C Mar 30, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2003 Full Review Jonathan Perry Boston Globe Marshall puts a suspenseful spin on standard horror flick formula. Rated: 3/4 Jan 31, 2003 Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting This one film certainly raised the bar for future werewolf horrors, although none come close to matching its unique bite force. Rated: 5/5 May 10, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... a howling good reworking of the werewolf tale. Set in the deep misty forests of the Scottish Highlands, this full moon boogie pits wolf pack against platoon and watches the fur fly. Aug 19, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Neil Marshall's The Descent ranks as one of the best horror films of modern times, but the British writer-director already had another grade-A monster movie under his belt before his breakthrough feature.

Mr. G Very good movie with very scary werewolves. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Gunnar Q Humor so subtle you have to be alert or you'll miss it. The border Collie was by far the best actor, but the creatures were scary and overall I enjoyed this one a lot. Credits had a newspaper with "Werewolves ate my entire platoon!" as a headline. Made me wonder if I had unknowingly watched watched comedy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review John w In my opinion this is joint top with American werewolf in London as the best werewolf film of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Andrew C went in thinking just another werewolf film and dam was i wrong , interesting yet basic plot, a few twists that were nice and alots of action and blood, all in all a great werewolf film. also realy good take on the look of the werewolfs, over just makeing them wolfs which i fine to be lazy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Alex E Absolutely great movie it never gets old. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review João D The best werewolf movie of all time, it mixes terror, mystery and suspense in just the right dose. The tension only increases as the movie progresses, where a group of soldiers have to fight with all their might to escape the attacks of werewolves thirsty for fresh human flesh and blood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
