if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

DOGHOUSE is a British stab at the comedy horror genre, featuring a group of guys who go off on holiday to a remote woodland locale and find themselves at the mercy of some zombie-type creatures. It's a film that's more than happy to reveal its inspirations, which here seem to be the likes of horror classics such as THE EVIL DEAD as well as more recent fare like SEVERANCE, which also starred Danny Dyer.As such, the story is entirely predictable and almost everything that happens has been done before, and probably better. Despite that, it's quite a watchable film, filled to the brim with lots of humour - a lot of it sexist, it has to be said - and gore effects which keep it bubbling along. It's surprisingly entertaining given the pedigree of director Jake West, who has made some real tosh over the years (I'm thinking of EVIL ALIENS in particular).The cast is littered with familiar faces and more than a few decent actors (Stephen Graham, Noel Clarke) and Dyer plays one of those laid-back, likable lead characters that he always seems to adopt. The special effects and various action scenes are all well-handled, although it has to be said that the actresses playing the various Zombirds are all terribly, embarrassingly over the top (particularly Emily Booth). Still, this is unashamedly adult in tone, which is a plus, and it's a masterpiece in comparison to the execrable LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS!

When a group of friends decide to take a trip to a small town to help a friend get over a divorce, they find the area overrun by women mutated by a virus into ravenous cannibals and must try to escape from the town in one-piece.This turned out to be another modern British horror effort that provides plenty of action and stuff happening that it's almost impossible not to be grossly entertained by what's going on. The film is a non-stop effort packed with tons of confrontations with the women, which is what's so much fun due to the fact that it never slows up and continually dishes out gory deaths, big action confrontations and tons of fun. With the deformed women also giving it some more fun to be had with their grotesque appearances and the comic-ness of dealing with them gives it some extra oomph. The film's biggest problem is the abundance of misogynistic actions undertaken here, mainly from how they're presented in the beginning which are supposed to be the heroes of the film, yet none of them are really interesting enough to care what happens to them. That's really the only thing wrong with this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

I don't even know where to start with this.We're introduced to our cast of characters in scenarios where it is firmly established that men (even gay men, provided they're not effeminate) are good, simple creatures, with good, simple drives, and women (and gay men who are effeminate) are nasty, hormonal, screeching control-freaks who just want to spoil the lives of good, simple men.And... That's pretty much it for the entire film. Seriously. That's the entire film, in a nutshell.Of course, it tours through pretty much every gender cliché you've ever been offended or disappointed by, and it also contains Danny Dyer. And let's face it, casting directors who cast Danny Dyer need to be shot. Because he's crap. And this film is no exception to that rule: He can out-Cockney you, he can out-bloke you, but he really can't out-act you, he is Danny "Dire" Dyer.Sadly, he's not even the worst actor in the film. The only reason that I scored this a 2 out of 10 instead of a 1 is that I have a bit of a thing about Nicola Jane Reading, who played the busty zombie-witch.

This is suppose to be a zombie comedy but it fails in a lot of levels. It just seemed cheap and not because of the budget but because of the direction of it all including the acting. Yeah this is a movie that shouldn't be taken seriously but even when they are trying to act funny it just seemed so fake and lame. Which can be dismissed but even the humor in this doesn't work. It just seemed like the director just wanted to put a group of guys in a zombie town with a crappy build up, and them just trying to survive in by going about in bunch of goofy approaches. There is hardly any character development, maybe a little as they try to survive in the zombie overrun town but that is about it. So you hardly care about any of the characters if they die or not, and they aren't even all that likable. The zombies aren't even like zombies, they are stupid but they carry weapons and has slight human characteristics to them in another words they are more goofy than scary. Which in this movie just seemed lame and not effective at all. It's good to try something different sometimes, but not in this case. It just seemed the director was just inspired by zombie movies and video games and a bit from Guy Ritchie, but is a amateur since anyone could have directed this. I give it props for it trying to be a good zombie movie but it just fails in many levels like I said. The zombies don't even infect you if they bite you, instead they are like a man hating feminist cannibals with weapons. This isn't a awful zombie flick but wasn't all that good either.6/10
