I'm wondering what the great MoFo populace think of Neil Marshall's films in general.
The genre in which he operates isn't one of my favourites, in fact I actively avoid most offerings from the box tentatively marked 'Horror' but I enjoy Marshall's stuff. Maybe it's because he doesn't take himself too seriously; maybe it's because he makes films look like they cost 10 times as much as they actually did - Listening to the commentary I found out that 90% of Doomsday was filmed in Cape Town, with a few gratuitous Scottish Highland shots thrown in, probably to save money. I know that Dog Soldiers was filmed in Eastern Europe and am pretty sure The Descent got made somewhere you wouldn't normally associate with a movie industry.
Maybe it's because he's just darned good at what he does and I'll put my prejudices aside for 90 minutes. I dunno.
Views? I want 'em!
