Vince (Stephen Graham) is going through the final stages of his divorce and to help him through this period his friends Mikey (Noel Clarke) and Neil (Danny Dyer) decide to take him and a few of the other boys to a remote village outside the humdrum of their London lives to get, in Dyer's own words; 's**tfaced'. However, when they turn up to the incredibly eerie village of Moodley to find flesh-eating, man-hating, cannibalistic women who want to do nothing more than rip out their internal organs and eat them for breakfast, the boys realise they have bitten more than they can chew and must fight their way through a barrage of blood-thirsty women in the most misogynistic way imaginable.

The premise of the film completely reflects the manner in which Jake West approaches this project, with a gleeful nod towards plenty of harmless sexist humour and cheap gory death sequences that are all nice, light-hearted and fun. Neil, Vince and Mikey are all your typical working-class likely lads out to simply flirt with the opposite sex and drink as much as their body-weight, with Danny Dyer in particular needing to place little effort in recreating his Cockney 'laddish' persona (yet again) on the big-screen. While Dave Schaffer's script contains many easy-going humorous gags to keep your attention ticking over while the next axe, gnome or sword heads to try and end the boy's misogynistic ways and eliminate the male chromosome all in one.

'Doghouse' is nowhere near the heights of Pegg/Frost's rom-zom-com-supremo 'Shaun of the Dead', but it isn't the worst film you will see this year. At a short running time of 85 minutes, you'll be cheaply entertained with boys being boys and women being...err, evil, vicious, un-relentless and, well women (just kidding!). This a film you'd probably enjoy seeing more after you've been kicked out the local Pub at closing time and are heading home with your Chicken Jalfrezi in one hand and the DVD in the other.

After travelling to a remote village for a weekend of drunken debauchery and male bonding, a group of friends come under attack from the women of the village, who have turned into bloodthirsty cannibals as the result of a top-secret biological warfare experiment carried out by the army.

Those looking for a stylish slice of quirky Brit comedy/horror in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, be warned: Jake West's Doghouse is aimed squarely at the lad-mag reading, post-footy, post-pub, post-curry crowd, and as such, the level of sophistication is not exactly high. Don't expect clever word-play, irony, post-modernism, surrealism, or satire; do expect tit jokes, loads of swearing, mindless violence, and puerile gags about shagging zombies, all of which could have been tons of fun, if only the film's characters hadn't been such an unlikable bunch of 'blokes' (fully deserving of everything they get), and director Jake West hadn't forgotten to develop his plot beyond a repetitive string of silly chase scenes and gory battles.

Although Doghouse is far from the worst British film in recent years to attempt combining laughs with scares (that honour goes to the abysmal Lesbian Vampire Killers, closely followed by The Cottage), I really was expecting a lot more from the director of zany splatterfest Evil Aliens, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The basic premise—a blood-drenched battle of the sexes—is an interesting variation on the standard zombie plot, the design and execution of the female creatures is impressive (each has its own distinctive look and personality), and the gore is well executed; but with the comedy being so moronic, the narrative rapidly going nowhere, and not one sympathetic person to root for, Doghouse is definitely something of a disappointment.

I was at the first screening of Doghouse in the West End last night, attended by the director Jake West and stars Danny Dyer and Noel Clarke.

Anyone going along to this and expecting anything other than what they know they are going to get are going to be disappointed. This is a laddish Brit-com-horror. In fact its not actually horrific at all as everything is done for laughs. There is no real sense of dread as the whole idea of the film is to maximise the gruesome bits but you know that ten seconds after seeing a bit of goo, someone's going to make a classic one-liner. There are so many gags that not all of them hit the spot, but some are very funny but not all very PC (it is laddish!).

Comparing the original trailer to the film I just saw, I can't help but think that the original film's darker nature has been pretty much exorcised to beef up the humour. The new trailer would also seem to justify the audience the film-makers are targeting.

That said, I came out of the film remembering how I used to go to the cinema as a teenager because going to the cinema was a fun thing to do with mates. Nowadays I so rarely go to the cinema that I don't want to just go and see anything, it has to be something special.

With Doghouse, it really is sit down disengage your brain for 90 minutes, forget about the worries of the world and have a laugh, and then another and another. Don't worry about the plot too much (I don't think the writers did!) and just chill out for an hour and a half.

If you just want a film that is a bit of fun and you just want to be entertained for your entrance fee then this is a film to see. It is no classic and doesn't aim to be, in fact it probably has more in common with the classic "Carry on" series of films than anything else I can think to compare it to. Everyone probably had a ball making it.

After its cinema release it will be a great Friday night film with a few mates, a few beers and the obligatory curry.

Great soundtrack too.

This is a reasonably funny and campy horror movie that starts off as a bunch of blokes on a road trip to cheer up their recently divorced mate. Since the gathering was sudden and unplanned they catch a lot of crap from their women for leaving on the trip- hence being in the doghouse. They are on their way to a lovely town where the women outnumber the men 4 to 1.. there's women EVERYWHERE! Too bad that winds up not being such a good thing for them. LOL!! If you like a couple of jokes in between killing lots of female zombies, this is your movie, there is some decent creativity with the zombies, just remember the whole thing is tongue in zombie cheek.

if your going to review a movie please watch all of it and not 2/3rds (or 1/2 if your lucky) because you would have seen this for what it is, pure gory trash horror. its not the smartest of films, hell its not the smartest if it was a slug, but its not meant to be. the thin story line is only there to hold the gore, slapstick comedy and quirky remarks together. its an OK film to sit with a few mates and a few beers and laugh at the stupidity of the characters and the situations they get them self in.the name comes from the fact that all the characters are in the doghouse for going away for the weekend when there wives or girlfriends don't want them to go.something goes wrong (what! no! really!)and the so called s*%t hits the fan.its funny,gory and daft, so sit back, switch of your smarts and enjoy a so bad its good British horror flick.

This movie was actually pretty good, its kind of jumpy, has good FX and has a lot of funny moments.

Here's a little summary about the story:

Some friends want to take a buddy of theirs out for a trip to help him get over a divorce and to show him that not all women are all alike. Once they arrive at an isolated town, they find that all the women are man-eating cannibals and fight for their lives. Its kind of ironic because in our world today, I think that's what most women are. Crazy, greedy, man-eating life forms that you just can't get enough of.

Its in 2nd place next to Shaun of the Dead, well worth a watch!

when i watched the trailer, i thought: well, about time for another great zombie comedy! the beginning was good as well, ti had an almost guy ritchie-like introduction of the cast, and i was convinced it would be a great film. but then the actual zombie-plot begins and ... nothing! where was the humor? oh look, that she-zombie used to b a hairstylist, oh and this one a bride and oh, an old lady! guys, seriously, did you think that alone would funny enough? please! (i don't mean to sound like a movie snob, but, i'm sure everyone who enjoyed shaun of the dead and severance, will agree with me. we have higher standards!) an average buffy-episode provided better horror jokes than the whole doghouse movie.

enough of that. now i can't wait to see zombieland. i need a good movie..

Typical British comedy horror, Similar to Shaun of the dead. The cast was excellent and a real funny story . Nothing earth shattering but worth watching I added it to my vast comedy horror collection as it's my favorite genre.

Jake West's Doghouse starts off with some promise and certainly delivers some inventive gore for horror fans but it soon degenerates into juvenile misogynistic humour that instead of being wry and knowing comes off as silly and dumb.

Danny Dyer, Stephen Graham and Noel Clarke are wasted on a stupid script about a bunch of lads who escape their nagging wives and take a trip to a remote village in order to help one of them get over their divorce only to find themselves under attack by the female inhabitants who have been infected by a top secret biological experiment carried out by the army and have turned into men hungry zombies, oh the irony.

The premise could have worked if West and writer Dan Schaffer had something to say or had introduced some satire but instead all we get are poorly acted zombies lopping off limbs and moaning and groaning their way around trying to terrorise our heroes in an unconvincing manner.

The whole thing is done with tongue in cheek of course but the men vs women jokes get tiresome and there is no real threat or scares so all we are left with are some rather good makeup effects but little else.

This tries to be like Shaun of the Dead (2004) but doesn't come close. If you want to see Danny Dyer in a horror comedy check out Severance (2009) instead.

Vince is crestfallen, his relationship with his lady is over. Enter his blokey bloke mates who decide to take him out to a country village for a fun lads weekend. Trouble is is that the village of Moodley has seen the female population turned into an army of man-eating "zombirds" out for male flesh.

No doubt about it, Doghouse will not so much divide in two the horror/comedy faithful, it will dissect them into little pieces and continue to do so for quite some time. Already it has been chastised for being misogynistic, a poor imitation of British genre benchmark Shaun Of The Dead, and more baffling to me, a waste of British talent. All of which are wrong. Of which the last statement from me has probably already seen a number of internet users vote negative on this review before reading further. Cest la vie, but if you are still with me? Then thank you for your time.

Doghouse is one of the most in tune self mocking British comedies concerning lad culture of recent times, arguably ever? Fifteen minutes into the film our group of "lads," after having been introduced to us through a series of attitudes involving their partners {there's a gay guy too folks}, stand together and a phone rings. The ring tone is that bastion of British machismo, the "Match Of The Day" theme, our group collectively dig into their pockets for their mobiles thinking it may be their phone ringing. From here on in, the marker for what type of film Doghouse is has been set.

From there we lurch into a battle of the sexes with wry observations as our "heroes" do battle with zombiefied female stereotypes. Hairdresser, dentist, schoolgirl, goth girl, a bride, horsey type and even a god damn lollipop lady. All scripted with astute knowing and self-critique from Dan Schaffer as the "lads" veer from scared cat wimps to once again being sexually brave Ramboesque types. Honestly, and I speak as a seasoned British male, some of the dialogue here is as sharp as the sexy zombie hairdresser girl's scissors are. Oh yeah, forgot to say that the blood flows for those of the gore persuasion, very much so. Some scenes are horror delights, they may come with a quip or a tongue in cheek reference, but there is some fine blood letting stuff here.

In the cast you have Stephen Graham, Noel Clarke and Danny Dyer. I wonder how many folk have noticed the irony that all three guys are not long out of being in "blokey" hooligan type films? Dyer does his usual Cockney wide boy act that will annoy those who don't buy into it, but really there is a reason he plays to type, it's because like it or not? He's effing good at it governor. Graham and Clarke are both British treasures, not based on this film you understand, but they have much ability and it's great to see them having such a great time. While the support from the likes of Lee Ingleby as a horror comic/Evil Dead fan is truly "nudge nudge-wink wink" enjoyable. Director Jake West has moved considerably a few notches forward with this picture, so add his name to the list of British genre directors to watch alongside Paul Andrew Williams and Christopher Smith.

Comparisons with Shaun Of The Dead are folly, that film is an awesome parody of the genre, a film that remains a sub-genre highlight. This is a different film, though, one that parodies the genre with a totally focused observational narrative on a culture that warrants humorous inspection. So be it, I will happily watch this (and have done) with any of my film loving lady friends because I know they will see the pointedness of it all. And besides, any film that slots in Space's magnificent "The Female Of The Species" has to be worth a look at least. 8/10

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!

"Doghouse" is a very silly British zombie movie in which the small town of Moodley is overrun by female zombies. They attack nine guys who all traveled there by bus to have a guys only retreat of boozing and partying. The zombie women came in all shapes and sizes, yet they were all singular in their goal. Kill all men.

While I wasn't a fan of the previous movies of Jake West (Evil Aliens and so forth), I thought this one was pretty funny. It's a nice idea, has great actors in it and shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's a fun way to spend a night in, have some friends over and just have a blast watching this.

It's more comedy than Horror, but that shouldn't keep you from watching. And again, with other actors, this might have not been as good, but those guys here are some of the most recognizable actors of their generation. It's apparent, that they had quite some fun shooting the movie ... the good thing is, it translates onto the screen.

After having massively enjoyed the grotesque B-splatter of "Evil Aliens", I'm blindly willing to watch every new movie directed by Jake West. And he seemingly feels comfortable and well at home in the field of crude splatter-comedies, as "Doghouse" is another wildly over-the-top and light-hearted piece of entertainment with copious amounts of fake blood and intestines as well as vulgar jokes and clichéd "battle-of-the- sexes" humor. Great Britain pretty much reigns in this area at this moment, by the way, with other famous and acclaimed titles like "The Cottage", "Shaun of the Dead", "Doomsday", "Severance", "Lesbian Vampire Killers" …

Seven thirty-something friends have planned a weekend of heavy drinking and macho talking, so that they can help buddy Vince get over his divorce. They head out to a town called Moodley, in the middle of British countryside nowhere, where there reputedly are more female inhabitants than males and where one of the blokes' grandmothers has an empty cottage. Straight from their arrival, they're being attacked by the women of Moodley who turned into bloodthirsty and flesh-craving demonic beasts. From a left behind soldier, they hear that the women are infected with experimental military virus and already devoured the entire male population in town. If Neil, Vince and C° ever want to get out alive, they'll have to defend themselves with imaginative weapons, like golf clubs, remote controlled toy cars, cloth hangers and hedge clippers. "Doghouse" is a zealous splatter comedy with a couple of gory highlights (including a head split with an ax) and a handful of funny situations, but it's also quite derivative and forgettable. We've all seen plenty of cheerful zombie movies (most recent there was "Zombieland") and the genre has nothing new to offer. The so-called "Unique Selling Preposition" – to put it in marketing terms – of this film is the fact that only women become infected with the virus. "Dogshouse" is a spitfire of typical macho dialogs and anti-feminist jokes, so I wouldn't exactly label this as the ideal date movie.

Vince is depressed about his divorce. His friends who are in the Doghouse as each of them have a argument with their, Girlfiend, Wifes or last night's date.

There all end up in a bar and they decide to have Guys weekend to a take trip to country side to cheer up Vince who getting a divorce On way to the country side the bus stop as there are two dead sheep's in the road, the bus driver Candy (The only Girl there) moves the Dead Animal out of the away (As none of the guys wanted to do it)Then someone's phones rings with The match of the day ring tone, everyone looks at there phones, after two calls Neil tells them give him their phones and put then in a bag that they leave on the Bus.

When they get to Moodley they find out all the women have been infected with a virus that turn them into man-hating cannibals. A lot people are saying this a Zombie movie (I understand why they are saying it as they do look like Zombies) but it's really a slow- Cannibals movie.There some scary looking Cannbals in this movie This movie was really funny, I really enjoyed it, when the match of the day theme tune come on, I Could not stop laughing The gore was really good not great but mostly funny, this virus is total different to anything I see before as there are different phrases to this Virus and The acting from the whole cast was great.

I did not like the ending cause it ended out of blue, you will be WHAT THE HELL, where's the rest of the movie? 8/10 Great funny horror movie

From the outset of the first 30 seconds of the title screen introducing the characters you can see what this film will be about. Low budget, overly British, chav'y, misogynistic.

It lacks any charm, and whilst the idea for the story is interesting, it's executed in a terrible way. The film gets into the 'action' almost too soon, I'd have enjoyed more suspense and build up (within the first 10 minutes the protagonists know whats happening and are deeply involved). The setting is alright, but could have been bigger, and you feel the actors are basically just playing themselves. Danny Dyer in particular plays a very horrible version of himself. With only a couple of likable characters in the film you find yourself disillusioned from their troubles and any investment in the story is one of "what caused this to happen", which is shortly lived.

Again a very interesting story idea, but very poorly executed. If you have to watch this, do not watch this with a loved one or any female in the room, or else you'll end up in the Doghouse!

Fun little flick - some lads want to party and have some fun (leaving their girls behind) but get in deep trouble instead. Not in the same league as Shaun of the Dead, but a good and solid British horror comedy to kill some sparetime.

It's a bit strong and the blokes aren't great but they're real. I don't get why so many people didn't like this. I'm a woman and I thought it was really funny. I loved all the daft things like the toyshop, and the water pistols. Danny Dyer when he's trying to get out of a situation, and keeps retching is hilarious. Danny is naturally funny and a much better actor than people give him credit for. For example Closure is brilliant, Trench, Football Factory and the Mean Machine are pretty damned good. Because he's honest about who he is some people are offended by him and some of the other actors in the this film but I love them all, and this was a bit of stupid fun. The only complaint I have is they didn't make the best use of some of the superb actors in it, but that's it. If you like a bit of daft zombie/man V woman/dog soldiers Shaun of the Dead type film you're in for a treat.

Six male buddies leave their "significant others" behind in order to take a road trip, get roaring drunk, and have the time of their lives. Alas, their fun comes to an abrupt end when they arrive in the wrong town. A town where something very strange and deadly has taken place.

DOGHOUSE is sexual satire at its hilarious best. The greatest fears of the typical man are realized in excruciating, bloody ways.

GOREHOUND ALERT: This film contains cannibalism, dismemberment, and other assorted nastiness for the true connoisseur...

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

Over rated as I thought it was, Shaun of the Dead has spawned a barrage of imitation brit horror comedy type films, the latest of which is this from a director for whom this appears to be his most high profile work to date. Due to it's limited release, it might not get his name remembered as much as he'd hoped and hopefully he'll make something more memorable (and better.) Which is odd considering the host of big new names in British talent involved, including Danny Dyer, Stephen Graham, Noel Clarke, Terry Stone and Neil Maskell, as well as an all too brief appearance from Billy Murray as a mutated army colonel.

This is quite funny in parts, but mostly just succeeds in being really loud and silly, with unlikeable laddish characters and iffy make up/prosphetics on the female 'zombies.' I got the feeling it had been aimed at a target audience different from mine. **

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
