A remote sheep station (is there any other kind?) is menaced by a pack of feral dogs with a taste for human flesh.
I added this to the list without reading anything about it --which is pretty much how I add everything-- so I thought this was going to be a werewolf movie. Nope. Just some Good Boys gone bad. That being said, it's not bad, even if you have to check your basic animal knowledge at the door. It maintains the tension throughout, doesn't show too much too early, and uses all the appropriate tropes.
It still would have been better as a werewolf movie.
Or if the family at the center would have been camping or something. It's hard to take a pack of dogs seriously when you have a whole ass house with locks and doorknobs. They're dogs. They don't have thumbs. The fear is the pack nature, but all the dogs that break in do so singly. It's not like they're overrunning the place. Plus, the mom (Anna Lise Phillips) is supposed to be a vet. You'd think she would have some kind of insight, but no.
If you're not into the supernatural and you're looking for an easy movie to throw on that you don't have to worry about missing stuff while you're handing out candy tonight, The Pack is streaming on Tubi.
