Any information on Dog Soldiers?
I can't seem to find any information on this DVD aside from the fact that nobody has it in stock. I have scoured the net for info regarding it being out of production but can't find any confirmation. I am just trying to figure out what is going on. I may have to hit Ebay.
I really liked this movie and want to add it to my collection. Also, has anyone see any other version besides R1?
Thanks

The R2 version is better. If you can get it, get that one. Try cdwow! for it.
Also, if you check Blockbusters PPV bin, I've seen Dog Soldiers in there recently. One might be lurking.
If you still can't find it, let me know, we'll work something out for it.

That's in addition to what you get with the R1 release.

Probably the easiest way is to just order a copy from amazon. You can get a factory sealed copy for $14.95. Just click on "used and new".
Another option would be half.com.

I was lucky, I found it at my Flea Market for $8. Try the used market, CDexchange and PAWN shops. Unless you are into Werewolves it has a fast turn-around. What I mean is because it was low budget (but a good film) many people do not keep it in their collection. It's been played on TV a few times this year.

I saw the movie for the first time on the SciFi Channel (I think that was the channel). Anyway, I was very pleasantly surprised.
I just think it is weird that the movie was released late last year and everyone had it in stock up until about a month or two. Now it seems to have vanished off the face of the earth with NO EXPLANATION!

I don't think it had a very big pressing being that it wasn't very well know in the US. I suppose it did better in the UK. If you were a store, how many would you order? I don't think much.

I just placed a pre-order with a guy on ebay. He had great feedback and answered my email about this being re-released. Should have it next week!!!!!
I would have done a R2 but my dvd player can't do that region. Might pick up a R2 if I ever get a region-free player.

I wonder will the Fox release have an improved transfer... the (oddly enough, anamorphic) Artisan disc looked like hell!
I understand it was low-budget, but still...
