Dog Soldiers was Marshall's first full length feature and, despite not doing well commercially, it is often regarded as a British cult classic alongside 28 Days later and Shaun of the Dead.
His next project was a second horror film The Descent in 2005 which centred around six women on a caving expedition.
On a daredevil caving holiday, six women friends are unexpectedly trapped underground when a rock fall blocks their exit.
Searching the maze of tunnels for a way out, they find themselves hunted by a race of fearless, hungry predators, once humanoid but now monstrously adapted to live in the dark.
As the others battle for their lives, Sarah (Macdonald), still recovering from a mental collapse brought on by the recent deaths of her family, is fighting for her sanity.
When old secrets are revealed, the friends turn on one another, causing the group to implode. Betrayed and desperate, Sarah realizes that to make it back to the surface, she must become as savage as the creatures themselves.
The film was a critical and commercial success and was well received an America grossing $26 million. It went on to gross £57 million at the international box office having been made for just £3.5 million.
Marshall's current project is Doomsday set in a futuristic UK a lethal plague has infected Scotland and is walled off by the British to contain the infection.
Almost thirty years leader the infection may have spread to England and a police task force, lead by Eden (Rhona Mitra), into Scotland to locate a Dr Kane (Malcolm MacDowell), who the PM hopes has been able to find a cure.
Drive, a new movie from Marshall, is currently in pre-production and will star Hugh Jackman.
