It's an infinitely rewatchable film, imo. Loveable character, good humor, a ton of heart and lovely effects.

Are you aware of the book Sausages: The Making of Dog Soldiers by Janine Pipe? If not, you should give this video a watch. She's a wonderfully nerdy author and a super fan of the film. I bought the book based solely on this video because she is just so damn in love with the movie.

Sausages: The Making of Dog Soldiers released today Friday 13th May - YouTube

Here's a link to the paperback at Amazon. There's a hardcover, too.

You and I, both. I am glad the BD for this one isn't even half as bad as the one for Dog Soldiers, so I do watch The Descent every now and then. Still, I feel that that one would benefit from UHD and HDR especially well. As long as it comes with the original ending, of course.

If you'd like a nice release for that one you should take a look at these South Korean sets. They come with the same disc that's currently available but it's in a rather attractive package. Both are available from South Korean sellers on ebay.

And I'm using a soundbar. Granted, a JBL 9.1, but still a soundbar. It's like living through those scenes, just incredible.

For real, it's spectacular.
