      Did they try to anonymise its origin or something? O.o

      My theory is the background sucked so they blacked it out, but also maybe took a photo of it on a phone that uses an overzealous AI tool that redrew over the existing words to make them clearer
      (TL;DR: AI upscale is the term I was looking for)

      Edit: It may have been an AI upscale of a blurry photo. Here are the results of a bad screenshot ran through my phone’s upscaler:

    If you want a good British horror film:

    Dog Soldiers.

    A cult classic, it’s got Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones) and Stewart Pertwee (Alfred in Gotham).

      One of my favourite movies. Someone described it as a soldier movie with werewolves, not a werewolf movie with soldiers and I think that captures it perfectly.

        Absolutely, as someone who’s interacted with a fair few squaddies, the portrayal of the soldiers is very accurate.

        It’s also got some fantastic dark humour and one liners in it;

        “They’re not going to fucking fit!”

        And

        “Leave me spoon, I can’t -”

        “No being a hero, you bloody hypocrite!”

        And

        “I hope I give you the shits!”
