Neil Marshall (born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, on 25 May 1970) is a film director and screenwriter. Dog Soldiers was Marshall's first feature-length film. Although not a huge commercial success, the film quickly attained cult status and showed the director's flair for the horror genre. Marshall's second film, The Descent, follows an all-female group of potholers who get more than they bargain for when they enter an unexplored cave. The film quickly garnered acclaim from fans and critics alike.

Directorial Trademarks

The name 'Eddie Oswald' is always referred to in Marshall's feature films. In Dog Soldiers, Sergeant Wells (Sean Pertwee) tells a story about the death of a fellow soldier - Eddie Oswald. In The Descent, Sarah (Shauna MacDonald) finds an antiquated helmet with the name Oswald on the rim.
