For those of us foaming at the mouth to get a look at Franck Richard’s THE PACK (LA MEUTE), it’s been a long wait since its special outdoor screening at the Cannes Film Festival was cancelled because the National Classification Committee didn’t want young children to witness its horrors. Since then, it has played at the Fantasia and Scream fests and received semi-underwhelming notices, but that’s not going to stop me from getting psyched by the news that it has finally found a North American distributor.
Indomina Releasing is the company taking a chance on THE PACK; no release date has been set and it’s unsure whether it will get a limited theatrical release or go straight to DVD/On Demand.
The synopsis: In the middle of a snowy no man’s land, Charlotte picks up Max, a hitchhiker; they stop in a truck-stop restaurant, and when Max doesn’t come back from the bathroom, Charlotte starts looking for him in vain. She decides to return during the night but gets kidnapped by the bartender, La Spack, who turns out to be Max’s mother and needs to feed her kids, “The pack”, a bunch of blood lusting ghouls. Charlotte now faces a terrifying reality: these ghouls are already dead… and hungry. Alone and in the middle of nowhere, she quickly realizes… she’s next on the menu.
If you’re in NYC, you’ll get a shot at seeing THE PACK early when it hits the NYC Horror Film Festival next week.
