A nicely gory comedy-horror flick that is a diverting bit of lads' entertainment.

Jake West’s low-budget British movie Doghouse is so jaw-droppingly bonkers that it actually deserves to be seen.

It's far too cheesy to be either scary or funny.

Doghouse looks as if it was knocked out in a day by amateurs, as the afternoon activity on a not-very-good stag do.

Doghouse is a very entertaining time-waster and definitely one for the boys %u2013 break out the beers and just have some fun.

A sexist, unoriginal but entertaining bit of fun. And isnąt that exactly what you want some Saturday nights?

A brisk, lurid and funny bit of popcorn tat.

The sort of testosterone-fuelled Brit-pic tailor-made for a profanity-filled viewing through the beer-goggles on a Friday after a curry and a belly-full of ale.

It sounds like a straight-to-DVD stinker doesn't it? It's pleasantly surprising to report therefore, that Doghouse isn't one of the worst films of the year and is in fact a hilarious, PC brigade-baiting romp.

The magic ingredient here is Dan Schaffer’s sly script, which constantly undercuts the film’s inherently sexist premise.

Like going on a stag-do with people you hate, this beta-male bilge is far too Neanderthal to do much more than drag its knuckles on the ground and sniff the rears of other, better films.

If you're the sort of baby-brained, lads mag-buying moron who thinks Shaun of the Dead could have been improved with the addition of gleeful misogyny, terrible jokes and Danny Dyer, then Doghouse is the film for you.

A grotesque misogynistic romp, Doghouse is too laddish and corny to even hold a candle to the witty Shaun Of The Dead. Perhaps Lesbian Vampire Killers wasn’t so bad after all.

You could say that this is one step up from the ghastly Lesbian Vampire Killers, since it suggests they are getting what they deserve from the other sex. But that step is a short one.

Female zombies are the perfect excuse to show women being beaten up by men. In its trashy way, the film has just enough exuberance to be classified as harmless.

If Shaun of the Dead is the gold standard of British zombie comedy, and Lesbian Vampire Killers is a tin-plated knock-off, then Doghouse must be ... Ratners.

“On the piss. On the pull. On the menu”, quoth the poster, but munching on Dyer looks like it might pose a health risk even for the undead. Hideous, all of it.

The acting's just awful, the misogyny undeniable, but the odd flash of Shaun of the Dead-style inventiveness means you forgive it buckets.
