Neil Marshall has turned out some great horror films in his career. The Descent will forever scare you away from exploring caves, and keep you up with the disturbing imagery laced throughout its runtime. Tales of Halloween features a delightfully twisted short from Marshall that involves pumpkins coming to life and slaughtering everything in their path.

Marshall wanted to avoid the trope of the"tortured werewolf", and show that these werewolves were monsters inside and out. He elaborated on this during an interview with Den of Geek: This approach worked, as the werewolves are shown to be immensely terrifying beasts that aren't quite wolves, but also move far faster than humans - and tend to be stronger than them too. But what makes Dog Soldiers a standout in the werewolf genre is its human characters.

The rest of his squad takes a similar tactic; even if they're facing certain death, they go out swinging. The fact that Marshall was able to use the genre as a metaphor for how war can change someone would be a tactic he returned to in other films, particularly his Roman war epic Centurion.
