Description
Cult filmmaker Jake West (EVIL ALIENS, RAZOR BLADE SMILE) and comic book writer/illustrator Dan Schaffer ('Dog Witch', 'The Scribbler') unite for this distinctively British horror comedy. When a group of young men--including Danny Dyer (THE BUSINESS, SEVERANCE), Noel Clarke (TV's DOCTOR WHO, ADULTHOOD) and Stephen Graham (THIS IS ENGLAND, PUBLIC ENEMIES)--descends upon a remote rural village, the lads look forward to a weekend of high jinks and male bonding. But their fun-filled break soon segues into a living nightmare when they discover that the village's female populous has succumbed to a mysterious virus that has turned them into ravenous creatures with a penchant for male flesh...

Editorial Reviews
Gory, laugh-out loud
Filmstar (06/05/2009)
A smart comedy horror that's a break through
Kim Newman, Venue Magazine (06/05/2009)
A fast, frenzied and fun British zom-com... with moments of comic genius
SFX (06/05/2009)
Three films this week argue that the male of the species is dumber than the female, if sometimes more colourful. In Britain's DOGHOUSE (comedy horror), an all-male driving weekend ends in a time-warped village where the female population has turned into zombies. Daft but fun
Financial Times (06/12/2009)
[DOGHOUSE is] stylishly directed, wittily scripted and deliciously gross in parts. And it's better than LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS... exactly what you want some Saturday nights
Heat Magazine (06/12/2009)
Ace horror make-up by Karl Derrick,who also worked on the first two Harry Potter films... [the script] delivers a handful of proper belly-laughs against expectations. DOGHOUSE is much, much better than its nearest joy vacuum that was/is LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS
News Of The World (06/12/2009)
A nicely gory comedy-horror flick that is a diverting bit of lads' entertainment. Dyer, Clarke and Graham are fine (and amusing) as the booze boys who get their comeuppance as blood-hungry women hit the mean streets. Far better than LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS, it has great gore gags
Sunday Mirror (06/12/2009)
Jake West's low-budget British movie is so jaw-droppingly bonkers that it actually deserves to be seen
The Times (06/12/2009)
The magic ingredient here is Dan Schaffer's sly script, which constantly undercuts the film's inherently sexist premise...
Time Out (06/12/2009)
Must-see movie... Danny would bring out the beast in any woman! You're in for a treat this week – assuming comedy-horrors full of blood-thirsty zombies is your thing! The yummy Danny Dyer and five friends head into the country... well worth a look of you're in need of a good giggle
Woman (06/12/2009)
ZOO's very own Danny Dyer tries a hilarious twist on SHAUN OF THE DEAD
Zoo (06/12/2009)
Thank God for Danny Dyer. Compared to colourless celebs trained in what not to say, the East End boy is a breath of foul-mouthed air... He was offered LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS long before Horne and James Corden. His new flick, his 20th since his debut in HUMAN TRAFFIC a decade ago, has a similar theme – mates wind up in a village full of female zombies – but it's much funnier
