 "The script is high on squaddie banter, low on shocks."
-- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK
 "To call this one an eventual cult classic would be an understatement, and woe is the horror fan who opts to overlook this goofily endearing and well-lensed gorefest."
-- Scott Weinberg, DAILY-REVIEWS
"A grim, flat and boring werewolf movie that refuses to develop an energy level."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
"Sam Raimi may be done with the Evil Dead series, but there are plenty of acolytes around to pick up the slack, among them first-time helmer Neil Marshall."
-- Luke Y. Thompson, NEW TIMES
"A rip-roaring comedy action fest that'll put hairs on your chest."
-- Jamie Russell, BBCI FILMS
"I'm convinced I could keep a family of five blind, crippled, Amish people alive in this situation better than these British soldiers do at keeping themselves kicking."
-- Christopher Null, FILMCRITIC.COM
"If you like blood, guts and crazy beasts stalking men with guns though... you will likely enjoy this monster."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM
"'Stock up on silver bullets for director Neil Marshall's intense freight train of a film.'"
-- KJ Doughton, NITRATE ONLINE
"essentially an exceptionally well-written, well-edited, well-directed, well-acted, bald rip-off of Aliens."

-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER
"Stock up on silver bullets for director Neil Marshall's intense freight train of a film."
-- KJ Doughton, FILM THREAT

-- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Truth to tell, if you've seen more than half-a-dozen horror films, there's nothing here you haven't seen before."
