The Pack (Bloody Disgusting Selects)

It's amazing how two people can have virtually polar opposite experiences watching the same movie. If you like your horror films well-directed, well-acted with bizarre characters, beautifully photographed, with a constantly surprising script, filled with the necessary gore, and yet flecked with bits of quirky humor, you'll love "The Pack"! I was totally riveted to the film the whole time - the sets were absolutely outrageous, the editing and the music were excellent (but not intrusive), and the main character, 'La Spack' will not soon be forgotten. I just watched it streaming online, but I'm going to order my own copy from Amazon right away. By the way, this film won awards at both the New York City Horror Film Festival (best screenplay, best actress) and Screamfest in Los Angeles (best special effects). What are you waiting for? Get it!

Actually she only picks up a hitchhiker thinking she was going to get trouble from a group of bikers. A great french film that leads you to believe that this is another cannibalistic or sadistic family type of film. A good turn of what the film is really about when the bodies are hung left for dead. This film is up there along with my other favorite french horror films (Frontier(s), High Tension, High Lane, Martyrs, Inside, and Them) just to name a few.

This one is a nugget for horror film fans. It has all of the ingredients to terrorize you...make your skin crawl...keep you guessing. Nothing predictable about this one. Pure horror. Loved every minute...from the eery backdrops to the creepy soundtrack. It reminded me very much of a Stephen King flick...but there was no humor in this one. Pure horror! ENJOY! All 5 stars!

Dark and original monster horror. Surprises keep cropping up. The characters are all very quirky, which is part of the fun.

I never knew this French horror/Slasher film existed until yesterday.I love French horror and this one was pretty good. It was a bit muddled in spots but it made up for that with Great acting, amazing creature effects and well done gore.The story is somewhat formulaic as we begin with a woman driving down a desolate stretch of road,then wanders into an inn where everyone is weird and people go missing. It has a Gothic feel to it which adds to the creepy atmosphere.From here it gets crazy. There is also a supernatural element to this film that deals with feeding blood to strange ravenous creatures that live underground and come up to feed when the moon is comes out.

Here is yet another French horror about some unspeakable things going on somewhere in the countryside. Compared with such titles as "High Tension," however, "The Pack" ("La meute") is far less shocking, but that really didn't bother me. The problem with the cross genre attempt of writer/director Franck Richard has less to do with the idea of blending two genre templates than it does with the way the idea is executed.The film begins with a young woman driving alone in a desolate part of the countryside, who picks up a hitchhiker. At a roadside diner the two travelers drop in, things start to look bad, and they get worse when it turns out one of the characters is not what he/she seems.In adding one big twist to the conventional storyline, Franck Richard successfully surprises us for a while, but soon the potential for something new vanishes, because of the director's unsure hand at the helm. The film includes some absurd moments that are intentionally done, but for what purpose I have no idea.See, if you notice something strange running wild before entering your restaurant, you will most likely turn back. They don't. The film jumps from one incredible situation to another, often in a most unexpected way. Unpredictability is usually something to be welcomed, but here it only suggests that the film does not know what it is doing.With the cast that includes talents like Yolande Moreau, Émilie Dequenne and Philippe Nahon, I would expect something more substantial from the result. The players are all good at what they do. They did not disappoint me. The film did because of its poor storytelling.

While there's nothing really new here, it's all done really well (but in French, with English subtitles). Imagine the Texas Chainsaw family meets The Evil Dead... done seriously with class. The filming and lighting is particularly good!

太った女主人が経営する田舎道にある寂れたカフェ。その女主人には別の顔があった…前半はサイコな家族の監禁ホラー、後半はモンスターホラーの二部構成になってます。フレンチホラーといえば強烈なスプラッターが定着しており、期待しましたが一定の水準はクリアしてますがちょっと物足りなさを感じてしまう内容でした。 しかも予告編に本編のグロのほとんどがあるので、本編もご覧になる方は予告編をスルーして予備知識なしで鑑賞される事をオススメします。

パケと解説にたぶらかされてはいけません。ストーリーも？？？の連続だし、第一、クリーチャーのショボイこと。トホホ…………見る価値なし。

I'd been putting off buying a copy of this film for quite some time. I was drawn to it because of the inclusion of the two Belgian actresses, Yolande Moreau and Émilie Dequenne in the cast, but a synopsis of the film did not appeal to me very much. I'm not a big “Horror” genre fan but as I'm not averse to it I eventually purchased a copy.My take on “The Pack” (original title “La Muerte” is as a fan of the two actresses rather than of the “Horror” film. As for any horror – well it won't have many people hiding behind the sofa, but then director Franck Richard was maybe not trying to do that. I don't think anyone is meant to take this film too seriously as the story is pretty silly really. It is quite funny though at times, and especially so the wonderful Yolande Moreau. This is not a film that I'll be watching again in a hurry but I did enjoy it. I was surprised to see Matthias Schoenaerts in “The Pack” but if you are a fan of his films then blink and you might miss him.On the DVD (ASIN: B004INCAXU) you get:“The Pack” (1 hour 21 minutes)This French Language film has English Subtitles that are embedded and are not optional.Scene SelectionBonus Features: The design of the DVD artwork.

Absolutely dreadful. From the very start of this travesty the so called heroine is a totally scruffy tramp that one finds it very hard to have the remotest sympathy for her. Drinking something that someone has just spat in being a case in point. The so called humour provided by the comedy bikers made me cringe throughout, neither amusing nor was there any point to it at all. The pacing is terrible, it literally drags itself through practically every scene and I was bored with it quite quickly. The so called “Pack “ were a bunch of practically crippled zombies so one could have easily just walked past them with no trouble at all. All in all one of the worst movies that I’ve ever sat through and would never repeat nor put myself through again.
