TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Michael O'Keefe An Australian family must pull together in the name of survival. Farmer Adam Wilson (Jack Campbell) knows about hard times. His livestock is being preyed upon, his wife Carla (Anna Lise Phillips) is struggling to keep her veterinary business alive, and the farm and homestead is on the edge of being foreclosed on. You would think determination and some belt-tightening would be the answer to keep the Wilson family right where they are; until a wild pack of dogs surround their house. Adam feared the bank being vicious in wanting money on the mortgage; but these dogs are not just happy feasting on the livestock.The acting isn't much, although Anna Phillips is the most believable. The pace is pretty slow, but that is not to say there is no action or suspense. Is animal instinct that hard to understand?Filling out the cast: Katie Moore, Charles Mayer, Hamish Phillips and Kieran Thomas McNamara.

LeonLouisRicci It's not the Low-Budget of this Australian Thriller that Hurts, it's the Lack of Imagination. The Film Crew put a Professional Looking Movie on the Screen but the Limited and Standard Story-Line of People Trapped in the House Assaulted by...Fill in the Blank, has been Done to Death and the Only Thing that can Resurrect the Plot is Creativity. This Movie has Very Little.It's Competent but Repetitive beyond anything Approaching Tolerable. All of the Attack Scenes and Gore are Exactly the Same and some actually Look Like they are the Same. The Attempt at Atmosphere, like Shadows on the Wall are Exactly the Same, except one is a Knife and the other is a Gun. Sheesh!Scenes Linger and go On and On, one guesses to Build Suspense but a Jump Scare here and a Dog Attack there just come off as Redundant. Overall, Average or Slightly Below for this Type of Thing. Not One Surprise, Shock, or Anything Remarkable occurs. It's not a Sloppy Film but a Stale One to be sure.

FlashCallahan The Pack is a wannabe Ozploitation movie that really tries its best to shock and to scare, but you can only put so many shots of a dog doing that aggressive teeth showing smile thing they do before it becomes almost parodic.So we have your textbook farmhouse with all seemingly well. But wouldn't you know it, they have a teenage daughter who's always on the phone, and because the bills are racking up, good old mum tears the phone wire out of the socket when the daughter refuses to get off the phone (I wonder if that will be an intricate plot point later, seeing as they leave in the middle of nowhere).So it's not too long before it gets dark, and for a moment, it seemed like a jolly freakish set up, glowing eyes reminiscent of Jordan's Company Of Wolves, but in the blink of an eye, the film goes right down the Dunny.......You can almost hear the concept pitch to the studio 'remember Cujo? It's like that, but with more dogs, and it's at night, it's scary at night isn't it mate?'.It may be scary at night, but only when the rest of the film is coherent. Yes, it's reminiscent of Kings Book/movie, but what made that a little more eerie than it should have been is the fact that it's set in the day, it had a strange atmosphere to it.Here, people poll up to the house, see a shadow run past, and hey oh, they are 'chow' Mein. I don't mean to be 'woof' on the film, some of the attacks homage the raptor attack in the Lost World, but it's a boring affair, it took me all my will not to turn the blasted thing off, because there could have been something worth seeing at the end, but no,there wasn't.I honestly find dogs that walk in their bum scarier than this.

Bloodmarsh Krackoon 'The Pack' doesn't have the eye candy 'The Breed' has, nor does it have the same star power as 'The Grey,' but it's an enjoyable, slightly tedious wild animal flick.While it doesn't have the eye candy 'The Breed' has, it's also not nearly as ridiculous, or laughably ignorant either. Unfortunately, it's not going to get the audience that film had, because sex sells - even Taryn Manning. Yuck! The acting (The Pack) is tolerable. The main couple do a fine job, but they lose points for adding the typical, annoying, ignorant teenage daughter, who you hope gets taken out early - but you know she'll be around until the end. Seriously, would the film have been any worse if the married couple had one child? Of course not. Maybe they went for realism? Because, honestly, how many couples are smart enough to stop at one child, right? 'The Pack' isn't on the same level as 'The Grey,' and it doesn't do the horror genre the same justice as 'Cujo,' so I can't see many hardcore horror fans being too impressed. There's only so many ways this film can go, and it ends up dragging on, even at 84 minutes. The dogs even looked bored around the 60 minute mark. But if you need something to watch, and you have to choose between 'Lumberjack Man,' 'The Gallows,' or 'The Pack,' do yourself a favor and choose the latter. Random Ramblings of a Madman: Wild dogs can be frightening, and these dogs do a fine job, but at the end it's just a pack of wild dogs. Now, if it had been a pack of wild Krackoons - the daughter would have been the first to go.
