  A group of Londoners go on a "lads only" trip to a remote village only to find that the entire female population have become flesh eating monsters and murdered all the men. I'd like to nominate Jake West for a long, slow hand clap because this is the second of his films I've seen and the second that's one of the most immature, amateurish piles of crap I've ever witnessed. I think you can tell from the synopsis and the presence of rent-a-geezer Danny Dyer and Stephen "Combo" Graham exactly which bandwagon this film is trying to jump on (although the "plot" is clearly a dim-witted regurgitation of Dog Soldiers), but thanks to some terrible direction, awful performances and an utterly witless script it falls well short of becoming even a pale shadow of Simon Pegg's much loved celebration of schlock. It's surely one of the most misogynist films I've ever seen as all the living women are nothing but shrieking shrews who do nothing but complain (they obviously just don't understand "ver lads") and the undead ones a bunch of strippers with cerebral palsy in feeble Halloween costumes. And no amount of so-called irony can disguise the attitude of a film that contains the line "I'm going to go down there...and bash the shit out of anything in a dress". Not only did I not laugh during the entire length of Doghouse, I didn't even crack a smile. Doghouse is nothing but Shaun Of The Dead for Sunday Sport "readers".

  Stupid and silly, but I have to say that I laughed out loud...a lot. Soooo, extra credit for that.

  The strength is in the makeup and special effects. The weakness is in the story subtext (and often blatant dialogue) about sexgender and how the zombie apocalypse could possibly serve as a solid ground for dealing with issues of gender performance inadequacy (on part of all of the men characters). Overall, entertaining, but like most zombie flicks, don't go looking for depth.

  A so-so horror comedy with a good array of UK acting talent on show. Ok in parts has some funny scenes and quite gory to in places. Overall just not quite as polished as Severance, Shaun of the dead. One mainly for the guys.

  Disappointing. Starts off with a premise ripe with possibility for social and gender commentary and comedy... and then fails to do anything with it. In fact, it barely has an ending at all. It's like they just ran out of ideas.

  I hate to use descriptions like these, but this film reminded me of a mashup between The Hangover and Shaun of the Dead. Quite genuinely scary in parts and funny all the way through, it's a remarkable balance and it must be hard to achieve. So this film gets extra points for getting it bang-on. It's a great setup for a film: seven buddies (one of whom you can just tell is the friend that nobody likes. Just as well then that he spends most of the film in absentia), none of whom have a very good understanding of women, go on a gents-only retreat to cheer up thier friend who's about to get divorced. The village that they pick for thier R&R - Mikey's childhood home of Moodley - has most unfortunately been struck with a curious sort of plague: all the women have durned into zombie-deadites thus creating a significant problem for any male wandering through the streets. Enter our knuckleheads. I love every character in this film. I have a real soft spot for Danny Dyer, who I also loved in Severance, another favorite british horror-comedy, but all the buddies were unique and great in their own way. I love Matt, the ineffectual comic book hermit who uses toys to fight the undead, I love Mikey, the guy who has a hard time dealing with a zombie he used to go out with, Graham, the gay dude that likes calling his mates fags, Vince, the guy who is the slowest to accept the crazy shit into which everyone is plunged, and Patrick, the guy who drowns out the world with Podcasts espousing serenitude. I even liked Neil the slutty clod, especially when all his buddies expect his casual misogyny to make him an expert in bashing in zombitch noggins. I think that anyone calling this film sexist is totally missing the point. In fact, the difficulty the main characters have in combatting female assailants plays for huge laughs. I love this movie. Heeheehee, "birdflu". And yes, I know that serenitude isn't a word.

  A fun ride from start to finish with a good cast, The sexist aspect of the film's made it more fun, Surely not on the same level as Shaun of the Dead but still enjoyable, Hooray for men, hehe

  Yes, bros before hoes. That's the whole mantra of the film, it works. Sure, it's not the most complex or ellaborated zombie flick, but gets the job done. It goes straight for the action pieces and that's good. It's a good cast and helps a lot to keep things above… More
  Yes, bros before hoes. That's the whole mantra of the film, it works. Sure, it's not the most complex or ellaborated zombie flick, but gets the job done. It goes straight for the action pieces and that's good. It's a good cast and helps a lot to keep things above the simple material. Be sure to watch this with some beers and friends, male friends that is.

  A nicely gory comedy-horror flick that is a diverting bit of lads' entertainment.

  Now if you like severence and the cottage then you'll enjoy this movie as the rest the storyline is prettty poor but it is a bundle of laughs, women may get a bit offended though as it is extremely sexiest really ! worth a watch though!!

• Jacob P

  
  A very bloody, yet funny horror film. I really enjoyed this one, and I'd say it would be up there with "Shaun Of The Dead" and "Zombieland".

  2.6/10 I am shocked that anyone could find a film as ugly and stupid as "Doghouse" funny. It's being billed as a horror-comedy, with zombies, but there are no laughs or scares to be found. The film is as desolate as the town that it takes place in, but luckily, there are zombies, and they are suitably vicious. So right there, the filmmakers got something right. I'm not sure what the goal was when the filmmakers wrote and directed this trash. Did they want it to be accused of being misogynistic? Because that's what's going to happen. People accuse works of art such as "Antichrist" of misogyny, but now they've got actually crap on their hands with "Doghouse". It will offend people; it will disgust people, and yes, it's a real bore. A large group of men go for some sort of "guy's-only trip" to escape from their love-lives, all of which have fallen to pieces. Upon arriving to the desolate-town of choice, assuming this WAS the choice, the lot discovers that all the woman have disappeared from the joints; and so have the men. So where are they? The woman, they are lingering in the shadows. The men, they're all dead. Technically, so are the women, but some sort of virus is turning them into zombie killing machines bent on destroying all men in sight. The plot consists of dialogue that is supposed to be funny, male-bonding moments intended to be sweet and sort of charming, and kill scenes which are supposed to be imaginative, inventive, funny, and entertaining. There really isn't much of a plot; and the thing has as much creativity as the annual Adam Sandler flick. Perhaps it even has less of an ego. The reason I dislike "Doghouse" so much is not because it is poorly made; but because it is poorly conceived. The whole thing is just one big offensive gore-fest; without purpose, without laughs, and without wit. It's sort of like "Shaun of the Dead", a great British horror-comedy, but less hilarious, less witty, and less, you know, ingenious. There's some good inspiration here, but none of it is used. I guess I must praise these filmmakers for making a film that doesn't LOOK like shit, but frankly, the thing FEELS that way. It can't be good news. The actors don't deserve this movie, and it does not deserve them. These are skilled, often funny people working here; but why are they so unfunny? I know they have talent, and I have seen them in roles that I liked, but every character here is so undeveloped, unfunny, and without genuine humanity that you just kind of end up hating them all. For what it's worth, "Doghouse" gets the job done if you want a night of gore and misogyny. But why should you want to watch that? Why should you want to watch "Doghouse"? Here is a movie that I shall allow you to deal with in whatever ways you wish. I would put it in the kennel for some time, because it needs restraint. I mean, it's not like its funny enough to be let loose. Such a shame; this could have made for a good movie. Sort of. But alas, nothing good has been made, nothing has been achieved, and the whole bloody affair feels like crushed flesh on the bottom of your shoe. And that's not really a nice feeling.

  A very misogynist horror comedy that still manages to be entertaining while it lasts, though there are so many plot details that disappear and situations never fully explored that it's painful to watch, since they're very obvious. And please, when you're doing this kind of movie, pretty please stop having more serious moments. It's like doing poopoo on the bathtub: out of place and no one enjoys it. Boys only!

• Nick G

  
  How did I miss this movie for so long? I love Zombies.. and I love British humor and their horror comedies. If you liked Shaun of the Dead and Severance, definitely give this one a shot.. It's not quite on their level, but it is close.

  A group of friends decide to take one of their own to an isolated village for a weekend of fun and debauchery as he is going through a very bad divorce. The only problem is all the women in the village are craving more then their bodies they want blood! So a weekend of fun and excess turns into a fight for survival as they take on a horde of bloodthirsty zombie-vixens. Really fun to watch and I had a friend point this out to me but the formula for the film is nearly identical to Severance (which also stars Danny Dyer) and I have to agree, and even though it isn't all that original it is still a good movie to watch, if you like over-the-top gory violence and funny characters.

  Horror comedy from Jake West who had previously treated us to the delights of B-movie classics Razor Blade Smile and Evil Aliens. In this one, a man depressed after his divorce gets together with his mates to go on a trip to a tiny village for nothing but a weekend of booze and women. So far, so good. But when it turns out that the female population of this village are man-eating zombies the lads are soon fighting for their lives. This is a funny and gory film that horror fans should enjoy. For Jake West to get Danny Dyer and in particular the brilliant Stephen Graham on board is great for him as his last couple of films have relied on largely unknown actors. Throw in sexy Emily Booth as a zombie ex-hairdresser and your in for a good time! Not quite as insanely brilliant as Evil Aliens but great none the less.

  After watching that absolutely pointless outing that was Lesbian Vampire killers I wasnt going to watch this...glad I did though....much better, more grown up and actually bloody funny in parts. The ending was a little dissapointing but the rest was very good.

• Wu C

  
  Another fun low budget spatterfest from director West. An improvement from his earlier film like 'Evil Aliens'
