I got the Movie "Dog Soldiers" and watched it the other day and the Director said he fashioned the battles from Aliens. And he insisted HIS movie was NOT a Werewolf movie with Soldiers, but a WAR MOVIE where the enemy just happened to be a pack of werewolves! I guess movies like Aliens, StarShip Troopers and Doom fit in with the Genre!
