The Pack isn’t a particularly memorable flick, with a few genuinely frightening scenes, yet it does at least have its moments and the acting isn’t half bad. The Blu-ray released by Shout Factory is pretty standard with a throw away featurette and trailer while the audio and video transfers were above average.

PLOT SUMMARY


Man’s best friend becomes his worst nightmare when a horde of bloodthirsty wild dogs descends upon a family’s farmhouse. In a remote stretch of the Australian Outback, a sheep rancher (JACK CAMPBELL), his veterinarian wife (ANNA LISE PHILLIPS), and their two teenage children (KATIE MOORE, HAMISH PHILLIPS) live in bucolic isolation — until a horrifying night when a pack of fang-baring, four-legged, rabid beasts besiege their home. With no one around to help them, the family must band together to survive — or else become canine kibble.

VIDEO – 3.75/5


Shout Factory releases The Pack presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a decent enough looking 1080p high-definition transfer. Detail is relatively sharp and even though a fair portion of the film takes place either at night or darkly lit settings, those shots are fairly sharp showing no signs of artifacts.

AUDIO – 3.75/5


The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is rather robust throughout providing for both crisp and clean dialogue levels but especially comes to life during the thriller-centric sequences from the growls of the killer canines to the (albeit generic) score by Tom Schutzinger. All in all, it’s a solid lossless track.

 


OVERALL – 2.25/5


Overall, The Pack isn’t a particularly memorable flick, with a few genuinely frightening scenes, yet it does at least have its moments and the acting isn’t half bad. The Blu-ray released by Shout Factory is pretty standard with a throw away featurette and trailer while the audio and video transfers were above average.
