One last UK DOGHOUSE review...

Jake West's Doghouse is an inventive and bloody take on the zombie genre that packs a gruesome and hilarious punch. Rare is it that a horror-comedy actually delivers laughs and thrills but Doghouse does so throughout. Danny Dyer finally gets to give his cockney wide-boy style of acting some much needed charm, creaming every ounce of wit from Dan Schaffer's ever engrossing script which is far deeper than some cinema goers will appreciate. But let's not forget that this is a horror movie at heart and the effects from Karl Derrick really do impress with the Zombirds outdoing each other in the gross-out stakes! It's a battle of the sexes that deserves multiple viewings.

Some DOGHOUSE reviews -

You wait ages for a horror movie in which beery, unreconstructed blokes are set upon by sexy man-eating women, and then two come along. However, the contrast between Horne and Corden's bloodless, laugh-free Lesbian Vampire Killers and Jake West's gory, funny 'splatstick' comedy could not be more stark. The magic ingredient here is Dan Schaffer's sly script, which constantly undercuts the film's inherently sexist premise. The crucial difference is, while 'LVK' celebrated its protagonists' leery lad-mag misogyny, Doghouse points up the Neanderthal blokes' deep Freudian fear of being castrated by women... West sails dangerously close to indulging the sexism he aims to mock: many of the Zombirds are dressed like strippers or porn fantasy figures. But then Schaffer throws in an ironic line like: 'Now is not the time to stop objectifying women' and the dick swings the other way. And you'd have to be barking mad not to cheer when the lairy lads risk life and limb to save their gay pal Graham from the Zombirds' nest.
NIGEL FLOYD - TIME OUT

This laddish but smart horror-comedy is a breakthrough for director Jake West -- it's a major leap forward from his ramshackle earlier pictures. As in the lamentable Lesbian Vampire Killers, a bunch of blokes on a weekend boozing trip in the country fetch up in a village entirely populated by angry female monsters, but this is much more cutting (and funny) in its depiction of fallible dolts whose regulation sexism gets them in hor water, and offers a novel spin on the zombie virus concept as a bioweapon turns all women into feral cannibal creatures. In the village, which has a creepy League of Gentlemen feel, the action escalates, the blokes find the time to raid a toyshop and improvise weapons out of water-cannons and fuel or a distraction from a remote-control car and a severed head. Contemporary British icons like Danny Dyer, Noel Clarke and Stephen Graham gamely suffer a series of humiliations at the teeth, claws, scissors and axes of the frothing harridans, with Dyer's repeated catch-phrase 'the ladies love me' setting up his mates' decision to use him as live bait.
KIM NEWMAN - VENUE

Gory, funny, nicely acted and a terrific slant on zombie movies. Think a stiletto heeled Shaun of the Dead. It's easily Jake's best movie.. It couldn't be more typically British either, one aspect that is really going to make it popular internationally.
ALAN JONES - FILM FOUR FRIGHTFEST

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

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

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

Low budget, deliberately sexist, stupid, gory and funny as hell! If you like horror-comedies and British film make sure you get yourself down to your local cinema and check it out.
