Last month, I brought along a few images from Franck Richard’s THE PACK (LA MEUTE), the controversial, highly anticipated horror show that made some waves at Cannes for being too disturbing. Allocine has released the first known clip for the film, and it’s… a bit underwhelming, with no craziness or mutilation anywhere to be found. But maybe that’s good – why blow your wad so early when you can tease first? (It’s Film and Sex 101!)

Here’s what THE PACK is all about: 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.
