Trivia
There is very little CGI used in the movie because the people involved in the filming believed that CGI was being over-used at the time and that it would take viewers out of the movie because they would be focused on how the special effects looked rather than the story, thus the werewolves are animatronics and body suits with stilts.

Not including Megan and Ryan, there are 5 werewolves in the film. Appropriately enough, the DVD has 5 werewolves on the cover.

Sean Pertwee's character "Sgt. Harry G. Wells" is named after H.G. Wells, one of writer/director Neil Marshall's favorite authors.

Goofs
After Spoon has reported the status on their ammunition, Cooper places his gun on the table. In the next shot, two bandages suddenly appear beside its hammer. This is true in wide screen tv as in full screen, the hammer is cut off before it cuts to the shot with bandages.

Amount of blood on people is inconsistent in some scenes.

Throughout the first half of the film, when the squad is armed with the standard British rifle, the SA80, Cooper holds the weapon in his left shoulder. The SA80 is always held in the right shoulder, even if the user is left handed.

Sergeant Harry Wells: We are now up against live, hostile targets. So, if Little Red Riding Hood should show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude, I expect you to chin the bitch.

Q
Who lived and who died?
A
Out of the 8 principal characters, (1). Bruce is impaled when he runs into a sharp tree branch while looking back over his shoulder; as he bleeds critically, the werewolves attack him and tear him apart, (2) Terry is grabbed by a werewolf and dragged out of the window after everybody thought the werewolves had ceased their attack on the house; he doesn't actually die until Joe goes into the barn to get the land rover and sees a werewolf bite Terry's head off, (3) Joe is killed while wrestling with a werewolf that was hiding in the back of the land rover, which he had failed to notice both when in the barn and while driving it towards the house, (4) Ryan transforms into a werewolf as a result from previous wounds after Wells slugs him in the head upon hearing Ryan's confession, (5) Megan is shot through the eye by Wells after she lets the werewolves into the house and begins to transform into one herself, (6) Spoon gains the upper hand in a fight against a werewolf in the kitchen, only to be blindsided by a second; he is then eaten alive, (7) Sergeant Wells begins to transform into a werewolf as a result of wounds sustained earlier, so he cuts a gas line and blows himself up along with the remaining werewolves (including "Megan", whom was the one-eyed werewolf that knocked the lighter out of his hand. This is confirmed on the DVD commentary.), and (8) the sole survivor is Pvt. Cooper. The "Ryan" werewolf survives the explosion because he was hiding down in the cellar with Cooper. Cooper stabs him with the silver letter opener, which disables the werewolf's immortality. Cooper then shoots "Ryan" through the head.
Q
What were the ages of each of the soldiers?
A
Their ages are never stated in the film. Captain Ryan is clearly the oldest. Sergeant Wells is the oldest out of his squad. Bruce the corporal is most likely the second oldest in the rest of Wells' squad. Cooper might have been the oldest of the privates and Joe is likely older than Spoon. Terry is clearly the youngest.
Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie.
