“There's something down there…” Join Ian & Megs for our 336th episode as we squeeze into the claustrophobic darkness, extinguish every source of comfort, and descend into Neil Marshall's modern horror masterpiece The Descent (2005). Liam isn't with us this week — he confidently insisted he'd found a shortcut through an unexplored cave system and, according to his last voicemail, is "pretty sure this is still the right way." Kev? He volunteered to be the group's map reader despite never actually bringing a map. We haven't seen either of them since they crawled into the first tunnel. This week we discuss: Neil Marshall's masterclass in tension — how The Descent spends almost an hour terrifying us before the monsters even become the biggest problem. The all-female ensemble — authentic friendships, believable conflict, and why the characters feel so much more than horror archetypes. Claustrophobia as horror — does the cave itself remain the film's scariest antagonist, even after the Crawlers arrive? Megs explores the group's dynamics — grief, guilt, betrayal, and how fractured relationships become just as dangerous as the environment. Ian breaks down the film's visual storytelling — darkness, colour palettes, practical effects, and why the audience never loses its sense of geography despite the labyrinth. The Crawlers — perfectly revealed monsters, or does the film become less frightening once it shows its hand? The balance between psychological horror and creature feature — is Sarah fighting monsters, trauma, or both simultaneously? The infamous UK and US endings — which version better serves the story, and does changing the ending fundamentally alter the film's message? The "show vs tell" balance — how little exposition the film needs before we're completely invested in every decision the group makes. The jump scares — expertly earned or simply proof that sound design can make anyone leap out of their seat? The ending — hopeless, empowering, hallucinatory, or one of the bleakest finales horror has ever produced? And finally, whether The Descent is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the greatest horror films of the 21st century.

They kick off a training exercise and end up barricaded in a farmhouse with eight-foot problems outside the door. We're talking Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers (2002), the British werewolf horror movie that somehow turns “soldiers vs lycanthropes in the Scottish wilderness” into a surprisingly fun, surprisingly funny survival night.We start with a quick spoiler warning, a tight plot summary, and our themed drink the Warrior Dog (vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, topped with sparkling wine). Then we get honest about first impressions: werewolf movies are notoriously hard to pull off, so we judge this one as military horror with creature-feature rules. From there we run Dog Soldiers through our categories, including Tropes Hall of Shame, Don't Go Back in the House, and our favorite one-liners.We break down what doesn't hold up (erratic early cuts, a few “too bright” blood moments, and suit shots that wobble between good and not great) while giving credit where it's due: committed gore, tense siege pacing, strong banter, and smart choices around when not to show the full transformation. We also talk sound design, howling overload, the scenes that made us laugh out loud, and the big “what the fuck” moments. Finally, we compare it to American Werewolf in London and other horror-with-military vibes, share production trivia, and place it on our watchability scale.If you like werewolf horror movies, practical effects creature features, or action-forward horror, hit play and let us know where you land.

A terrific BEHING THE LENS for you this week as you're about to hear from two directors whose work I am a huge admirer of and have been for years, both of whom I love chatting with, and each with a new film out – NEIL MARSHALL joins me to discuss his new psychological erotic thriller COMPULSON, while BRANDON SLAGLE is back with me for the 5th or 6th time talking about his latest, the powerhouse martial arts-action-sci-fi film AFFINITY. But first, we've got director BRANDON SLAGLE discussing his latest film, AFFINITY. Set and shot in Bangkok, Thailand, AFFINITY stars Chilean martial-arts star Marko Zaror as Bruno, an ex-SEAL struggling with PTSD. He lives a life in fear of his demons until one day, when he discovers a beautiful woman named Athena with no past of her own. Together they begin to build a life, but when she disappears, Bruno must return to his violent past if he's going to save her from a shocking conspiracy. Now, another director who has spread his visionary wings and stepped somewhat outside of the box from what we have come to expect from him – NEIL MARSHALL. Inspired by Neil's admiration for erotic thrillers of the 1980s and 1990s such as "Fatal Attraction" and "Basic Instinct", something woefully missing from cinema today, he's out to blend the sensuous, suspenseful style of those films with an homage to giallo—a genre of stylish Italian thriller/horror movies—resulting in Compulsion's unique mix of erotic thriller and murder mystery elements. The inspiration to set the story in a visually distinct locale was also influenced by his desire to film somewhere bright and warm, ultimately leading to Malta, which further shaped the film's visual and narrative style. Written and directed by NEIL MARSHALL, COMPULSION focuses on the story of a young woman's visit to her stepfather's villa in Malta that spirals into danger when she's targeted by con artists and a violent murder forces her into a deadly cover-up. As a local detective closes in, trust cracks and dark secrets are exposed. The film stars Anna-Maria Sieklucka, Charlotte Kirk, Zach McGowan, Giulia Garietti, and Harvey Dean. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

On the nineteenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing THE DESCENT (2005), written and directed by Neil Marshall.  A year after losing her husband and daughter in a car accident, a grieving woman named Sarah joins five female friends for a caving expedition in the Appalachian Mountains.  Their trip quickly turns into a nightmare when a tunnel collapses, trapping them in an unmapped cave system where they realize they are not alone.  As they struggle to find an exit, the group is hunted by pale, carnivorous, humanoid creatures called "crawlers," forcing them to fight for survival against both the monsters and their own internal betrayals.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 39 m, is rated R and we caught the film on the Hoopla app (support your local library!) but you can also find it on Moviesphere by Lionsgate, Fawesome, Roku Channel, Prime Video, Tubi and to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#SupportYourLocalLibrary  @HooplaDigital#TheDescent #NeilMarshall #ShaunaMacdonald #Sarah #NatalieMendoza #Juno #AlexReid #Beth #SaskiaMulder #Rebecca #MyAnnaBuring #Sam #NoraJaneNoone #Holly #OliverMilburn #Paul #MollyKayll #Jessica #CraigConway #CrawlerScar #LeslieSimpson #Crawler #MarkCronfield #Crawler #SteveLamb #Crawler #CatherineDyson #Crawler #JulieEllis #Crawler #SophieTrott #Crawler #TristanMatthiae #Crawler #StuartLuis #Crawler #JustinHackney #Crawler #FolkHorror #MonsterHorror #Horror #PsychologicalThriller #Adventure #Thriller  @HooplaDigital  @MovieSphereChannel  @fawesometv  @TheRokuChannel  @Tubi  @PrimeVideo ⁠⁠ #31DaysToHalloween #SpookySeason #Day18  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Co-starring Anna-Maria Sieklucka, Compulsion delivers a throwback punch, homaging the shadowy style of Italian giallo and the sleazy vibe of 80s and 90s erotic thrillers. Kirk and McGowan discuss what drew them to its dark, complex characters and the film's tightly wound, high-stakes narrative. The pair dive into the challenges and rewards of working on a film loaded with moral - and both Kirk and McGowan talk about working with Neil Marshall - and the intensity of Compulsion's bloodiest sequence.

Neil Marshall's Compulsion is not only a homage to the blood-soaked Italian giallo, but also a throwback to the kind of erotic thrillers that Hollywood churned out in the 1980s and 1990s - think Dario Argento meets Brian De Palma, Starring Anna-Maria Sieklucka, Charlotte Kirk and Zach McGowan, the Malta set pic is a twisty and turny thriller that throws in a lot of left turns - and it will keep you guessing until the end. Compulsion's writer-director, Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent), returns to the Movies In Focus podcast along with the film's star, Anna-Maria Sieklucka (365 Days, The Next 365 Days). They discuss the throwback nature of the film, filming a tale with such complex characterisation, Compulsion's pivotal - and very bloody - standout sequence and much, much more.

Pod People, your intrepid hosts both turned 40 this year, and we decided that called for celebration! How are we celebrating on the pod? We each picked one of our all-time favorite horror films to revisit and discuss in depth. First, we discussed Nikki's pick, Alien, and now it's time to go low, low, low, low, low, low, low with Tiffany's pick, Neil Marshall's The Descent (2005). Join us as we discuss why this movie (and Final Destination) made us afraid of following cars hauling damn near anything, the terror of betrayal (especially within female friend groups), cave spelunking gone wrong, the incredible set design that brought these caves to life, lakes of blood...or something like that, and the original ending that was just too bleak to show in theaters in the U.S. Twitter - @HorrorMarginsFacebook - @HorrorInTheMarginsPodcastInstagram - @horrorinthemarginsTikTok - @horrorinthemarginsIf there's a movie you'd like us to review or a creator you'd like us to interview, send us an email at horrorinthemargins@gmail.com.

We're subjected to a reboot of the Hellboy franchise, which amps up the Arthurian content–Hellboy doesn't just battle a reanimated Vivian/Nimue, the sorceress who traditionally imprisoned Merlin, but it turns out Hellboy is descended of King Arthur and the only person who can wield Excalibur. But if Hellboy does so, he might give over to his demonic nature and initiate the apocalypse.  Sounds pretty cool, right? Well, this movie absolutely sucks. Just a real turd. Flat, dull, and incoherent. So much wasted potential. Starring David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, and Danie Dae Kim . Written by Andrew Cosby.

This next movie pick comes from VHS Strikes Back Patreon Matt Bates, and he's chosen a gritty, bloody, and proudly British cult favourite: Dog Soldiers (2002). Directed by Neil Marshall in his feature debut, this film has become a fan-favourite among horror and action enthusiasts alike, thanks to its blend of pitch-black humour, practical effects, and relentless werewolf mayhem. It's a howling good time—and an ambitious low-budget thriller that punches well above its weight.Shot on a modest budget of around £2 million, Dog Soldiers was filmed almost entirely in Luxembourg, standing in for the Scottish Highlands. Neil Marshall, previously known for his editing work, wrote the script and directed the film with a scrappy indie spirit. The movie faced its share of production hurdles—tight schedules, unpredictable weather, and the ever-present challenge of doing creature effects on a budget. Instead of CGI, Marshall opted for practical werewolf suits, a choice that helped cement the film's cult status. Despite limited theatrical release, it became a sleeper hit on home video and has since earned a reputation as one of the best werewolf films of the modern era, launching Marshall's directing career and paving the way for his later hits like The Descent and Doomsday.Check out Matt's YouTube channel here. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryThey were just soldiers… on a routine training mission in the remote Scottish Highlands. But when night falls, the hunt begins. Now, cut off from command, outgunned, and outnumbered, a ragtag squad must face a nightmare that doesn't sleep, doesn't reason… and definitely doesn't bleed. From the director of The Descent comes a relentless, blood-soaked battle for survival. This time, the enemy isn't human… it's hungry. Dog Soldiers - lock, load, and pray for daylight.Fun FactsNo CGI Werewolves – The film proudly used practical effects and full-body creature suits instead of CGI, giving the werewolves a more physical and grounded presence.Filmed in Luxembourg – Although set in the Scottish Highlands, the movie was shot in Luxembourg due to funding and tax incentive reasons.Delayed U.S. Release - Although released in the UK in 2002, Dog Soldiers didn't hit U.S. theaters or DVD shelves until 2005, building anticipation through word-of-mouth.Cult Status – The film was a festival favourite, winning the Audience Award at the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film.Practical Explosions – All explosions and gunfire effects were done live on set, giving the action scenes a visceral, old-school war movie feel.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Joining us today is the directing great Neil Marshall (Dog Soildiers, The Decent) and the inspiring actress and producer Liz Farahadi to talk about SHORT film making, the things that can go wrong, why they are important, why planning is vital and how you always need to be ready to adapt. AND their short film Keep Young and Beautiful. We also talk applying for film festivals, why you might or might got get selected, producing short films, what goes into them and the difference between shorts and features for directors. Neil burst onto the scene and punched us all in the face with the cult werewolf action-horror classic "Dog Soldiers" and then, he plunged us into true claustrophobic terror with "The Descent" a film that won critical acclaim and cemented his status as a master of modern horror. He then unleashed the post-apocalyptic action mayhem of "Doomsday" and the brutal historical epic "Centurion,". More recently, he directed the period horror "The Reckoning" and the creature feature "The Lair." And it's not just features! He's brought his distinctive, cinematic vision to some of the biggest TV shows out there, directing two of the most epic battle episodes in "Game of Thrones" history – "Blackwater" and "The Watchers on the Wall" – which earned him an Emmy nomination. He's also helmed episodes of "Black Sails," "Constantine," "Hannibal," "Westworld," and "Lost in Space. And also joining us today, we have an incredible talent in Liz Farahadi, who truly embodies the spirit of independent filmmaking: an accomplished actress and a dedicated producer who champions diverse voices and impactful stories. You might know her from her acting roles in compelling independent films like "Losing Grace" (where she also served as a producer) and "Wild Bones," as well as various theatre productions and commercials. She's also had roles in the well-loved British soaps, "EastEnders" and "Coronation Street," along with other dramas like "Two Thousand Acres of Sky," "Miss Marple," and "Doctor Who. She's a passionate advocate for filmmakers, recognizing the need for support, especially for those from marginalized backgrounds. This drive led her to found and direct The Soho London Independent Film Festival (SohoLIFF), a fantastic platform dedicated to creating opportunities and celebrating films with social and environmental impact. She's currently in post-production on new short films like "Losing Grace" and "Daughter," and developing features like "Xenos" and "Polly."

This week on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast*, Clay and Amanda sink their teeth into Neil Marshall's cult classic *Dog Soldiers*—a gnarly, fast-paced werewolf flick that delivers equal parts horror, action, and black comedy. They're talking about everything from the practical effects that bring those towering werewolves to life, to the surprisingly heartfelt camaraderie between the doomed soldiers, to how this little low-budget movie became a cult favorite. It's all set in the Scottish Highlands, where the fog is thick, the wolves are huge, and nobody's throwing a tennis ball.I've been saying it for *years*, and nobody listens: dogs should be the *only* soldiers. Think about it—who in their right mind is gonna shoot at a dog? No one. You roll up to the battlefield with a battalion of good boys, all wagging their tails and looking adorable in tiny camo vests, and bam—war's over before it starts. The enemy would lay down their weapons, scratch some ears, and everyone would go home happy. But nooo, instead we get *Dog Soldiers*, and wouldn't you know it, turns out these “dog soldiers” aren't sweet pups with little helmets, but massive, terrifying werewolves that tear through a squad of unlucky British soldiers like a chew toy at a daycare.So if you're ready for a deep dive into one of the best modern werewolf films out there, this is the episode for you. But I'll say it again: next time, let's skip the werewolves and just send in a golden retriever with a bandana. No one would even *think* of pulling the trigger. Problem solved. World peace achieved. Now, who's a good boy? It's Clay and Amanda, that's who.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear all the coverage of remakes and reboots this year!

In 2019 Lionsgate attempted the unimaginable, a reboot of the Hellboy franchise after the much beloved Guillermo del Toro and Ron Pearlman dead cancelled trilogy. With David Harbour stepping into the role and directed (sort of) by Neil Marshall it was a critical and commercial bomb.
