Doghouse is the latest Action Zomady from Brit director Jake West, which follows a bunch of lads on a boozey weekend, which goes horribly wrong.
It's similar to what was attempted earlier in the year with the dire Lesbian Vampire Killers, except this has a better script and an infintely more talented cast. Legend Danny "F*****g" Dyer is always an engaging, politically incorrect leading man and he's ably backed up by Noel Clarke and Stephen Graham (perhaps taking things a bit too seriously). As a comedy Doghouse isn't that funny, working better as an action movie with a scattering of goofy comic set pieces.
Doghouse does commit one cardinal sin. Although it features Hex actress Christina Cole, one of the downright sexiest Brit actresses to grace these Isles in many a year, director West makes her perform with a cockney accent (robbing her of her mindwarpingly attractive posh, plummy dialect) And then, in the latter half of the movie, she's performing with Zombie prostetics!!! If the film-makers had wanted the male demographic, this movie's aimed at, out to spread positive word of mouth, then this decision was a big no no. No one messes with The Cole.
