The Pack (2015 film)

The Pack is a 2015 Australian natural horror film that was directed by Nick Robertson, based on a script by Evan Randall Green.

A short time later, his wife awakens from her easy chair by the fireplace to see his cigarette burning in the ashtray, but he is not in the house.

Sophie storms into the clinic and argues with her about school life being solitary confinement and how they should move into the city; Carla counters this by suggesting she help out around the house or get a job to help pay the radio bill.

The bank manager arrives and, during the course of the conversation, it is revealed that their payments are in arrears and the house is being foreclosed, despite Carla's clinic being a new source of income.

The snide and sarcastic bank manager tells them they can take the reduced amount of $200,000 for their barn or be forced out in 48 hours, but Adam refuses to sell, as the only reason they are unprofitable is because the sheep keep being attacked and stating that they will never have to leave.

The manager drives off and stops on the side of the road to urinate, but before he can return to his car, he is promptly attacked by a pack of wild dogs that viciously tear his flesh and drag him down the hill.

Sophie begins calling him over the walkie talkie, which alerts the dog to his presence and it attacks him; he fights it off with the rifle.

Henry stops to spread some liquid to distract wolves and to collect some unused rifle shells he has hidden there.

Carla has been making firebombs from flammable liquid she had in the house to throw at the dogs, while the children run across the last patch of lawn to the ladder.

As she sits at the side of the truck with the crowbar still in hand, the lead dog approaches her slowly, snarling and showing his teeth.

[4][5] A reviewer for the New York Observer was more favorable, calling it "an effective thriller that sets out to scare the living daylights out of even the most skeptical viewer and delivers in spades.

"[6] Mark Harris of About.com gave a mostly positive review, writing that "The attractiveness of the package and the steady pace at which it doles out the action more than make up for the character shortcomings in one of the best animals-run-amok horror movies in recent memory.
