ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Wizard-8 The 1977 effort "The Pack" was not the first B movie to deal with a pack of wild dogs with their sights fixed on killing humans - in the previous year, the movie "Dogs" had the same premise. However, "The Pack" was made with the support of a major Hollywood studio, and that explains a large part as to why it's better than the earlier movie. It looks a lot better, from the locations to the production values, though director Robert Clouse does make sure to make the movie not look *too* slick. He gives the movie a somewhat rough and dirty feel, and that gives things a significant bite. And the scenes with the killer dogs on the prowl do often have a somewhat creepy feel to them. However, the first part of the movie is somewhat slow and lacking in real thrills. And you never get a sense of a rising level of terror for the human protagonists even in the second half of the movie - they take the dangerous situation a lot better than you might think. While the movie does not reach its full potential, if its a slow day and the premise of the movie sounds appealing to you, the movie does manage to be reasonably entertaining under those circumstances.

Lee Eisenberg Robert Clouse's "The Pack" is mostly your usual killer pets movie. In this case, people buy dogs at the pound, and leave them on a vacation island. Sure enough, the dogs turn feral and go after the island's inhabitants. While most of the cast does the sorts of things that we expect in one of these movies, Joe Don Baker is quite cool as the leader. But the real stars are definitely the rabid canines. The people behind the camera probably fixed up the main dog so that he would look more menacing; I mean, I've never seen any mutt looking like that.I notice that this movie was filmed in Bodega Bay, California. Film buffs know that town as the filming location of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". Is every movie filmed there going to feature non-human fauna attacking people?! Another thing - and I may be the only person who thinks of this - is that "The Pack" was released through Warner Bros. When I was really young, I always associated that studio with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc. I wonder: what would I have thought had I known that the studio behind the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons also released horror movies (they also released "The Shining", "The Awakening" and "The Nesting").But I digress. This movie isn't terrible. Worth seeing maybe once.

Joseph P. Ulibas The Pack a.k.a. The Long Dark Night (1977) was another one of those "nature rebels against man" films that were cranked out during the seventies. This time it's dogs and that's where this movie went to. Joe Don Baker and some residents of a Pacific Northwestern town must contend with a pack of mean and wild dogs who decide that they've had it with man. Dogs of all shapes and sizes join together to try and defeat man. Can Joe Don Baker and the beleaguered residents ward off the mangy mutts throughout the long dark night?It's a real cheesy movie that's no great shakes. But if you could find a copy watch it with some friends so you can get a few laughs. I highly doubt that this movie was intended to be a comedy but that's how it turned out. Many of these films were pretty hokey and this one is no exception. The problem with most of these films is that they try too hard. The film makers forget that they're making a cheap animal exploitation film.Not recommended, unless you're extremely bored.

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*This movie has a problem. Dogs, by themselves, are not scary. Sure if some weird serum gets injected into them or they are bitten by a rabid bat they can be ferocious. But these dogs look like they came out of a dog food commercial. There's one scene where the dogs are chasing after the humans in slow motion and all I could think of was that they were running for dinner time. "I want my kibbles and bits and bits and bits..."They had one dog who could make a scary face but that was it. He could pull his lips back and show his teeth but the other dogs just stood around with that vacant, happy dog look. They didn't inspire fear.The ending is what takes it over the top. Humans and dogs reconciling to live in peace. "Shake boy. Good doggie." Blah.
