Quick Answer

What is Doghouse about?

Doghouse is a 2009 United Kingdom comedy-horror-science fiction film directed by Jake West about a group of men who travel to a remote village for a boys' weekend and discover the women are infected with a man-hating cannibal virus.

Programmer's Pick

Leave it to British genre cinema to turn 'boys' weekend' into a battle of the sexes, with zombified women using golf clubs, finger snacks, and a full arsenal of darkly comic flair. Doghouse gleefully rides the line between horror mayhem and cheeky satire, putting male foibles front and center in a town where chivalry really is dead.

Overview

Doghouse kicks off with Vince, reeling from his recent divorce, as his friends rally around to hoist his spirits with a classic lads’ escape to the rural village of Moodley—rumored to have a generous surplus of women. However, upon arrival, the group is met with an unsettling stillness as the town seems eerily devoid of the promised female company. What starts as an attempt to shake off heartbreak with pints and banter quickly shifts, when the men stumble into a violent altercation involving a hooded teenage girl and a military man. As the group retreats, it becomes clear that their getaway is about to spiral into a blood-splattered nightmare filled with dark comedy, social satire, and a science fiction edge.
