Second Sight in the UK has updated the release details of the classic British horror movie Dog Soldiers. Originally the company had problems finding the original negative but earlier this year it was announced that it had been found and a painstaking restoration was underway.
Synopsis: During a routine nighttime training mission in the Scottish Highlands, a small squad of British soldiers expected to rendezvous with a special ops unit instead find a bloody massacre with a sole survivor. The savage attackers of the special ops team return and the men are rescued by Megan (Emma Cleasby), a zoologist who identifies what hunts them as werewolves. Without transport or communications, the group is forced to retreat to a farmhouse to wait for the full moon to disappear at dawn.
