Review of The Pack (2010) by Joe A — 15 Oct 2011

French horror The Pack ("La Meute") proves that even in France, picking up a hitchhiker in a rural area can only lead to trouble. And young, pretty Charlotte (Ãmilie Dequenne of Brotherhood of the Wolf) finds herself in deep trouble when she does exactly that and soon finds herself a prisoner of a strange backwoods woman and her son.

And what they have in store for her is beyond her wildest nightmares. The Pack is a gruesome, disturbing and sometimes very effective little horror. It also has some huge plot holes and relies on a lot of convenience and bizarre character decisions to move it's plot along.

If you can forgive or overlook it's faults, this can be an entertaining flick with a cool visual style, some gore and effectively creepy title creatures. If not, The Pack will probably leave you scratching your head alot especially at the end.

I kinda liked it, so, I recommend it's worth a look but, with moderate expectations.
