PLOT SUMMARY
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Man\u2019s best friend becomes his worst nightmare when a horde of bloodthirsty wild dogs descends upon a family\u2019s 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 \u2014 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 \u2014 or else become canine kibble.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Shout Factory releases The Pack<\/em><\/strong> 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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

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\u2019s a solid lossless track.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, The Pack <\/em><\/strong>isn\u2019t a particularly memorable flick, with a few genuinely frightening scenes, yet it does at least have its moments and the acting isn\u2019t half bad.
