Pretty smart action/horror with a low budget that still manages to be highly thrilling. The werewolves are clearly just men in costumes, but that doesn't stop them from being a great representation of the mythical beast and scary to boot. The story is very sharp for a film like this, with the dialogue between the soldiers feeling incredibly natural and the plot unfolding itself exceptionally well. The actors are all very adept at both action sequences and dialogue-heavy banter, and the contrast between the two works very well in the film. The direction is a bit too shaky at times - indicative of the low budget - and the visual look is too grainy, but the film is great fun to watch and one of the most entertaining horrors in recent memory. One of the best werewolf films ever made.

Cheesy and not scary at all. It also doesn't help that the film feels like it's nine hours long.

I thought this was a pretty good film, and suspect (it's a while since I saw it, and I only saw it once) that I'd give it a B or B+.
I think I summed up what I liked best about it in the Descent thread:
"There was just something incredibly eerie and graceful about the werewolves running through the woods - like huskies."
I don't know why, but that one scene gave it a real edge for me.
