A woodsy island with a few locals that's occasionally visited by tourists is endangered by a pack of about fifteen feral dogs. They're mostly dogs tourists bought and brought to the island to keep them company for a vacation, then left behind. The leader is very mangy- looking, and usually baring its fangs. The rest look more like pets. The last addition is a dog we get to see being abandoned, and while it is accepted by the pack, it straggles behind, often getting its leash stuck on fallen trees and so on. We get to have some sympathy for it. The movie might have been better if they picked wilder-looking or more muscular dogs, or ones that could act meaner.
The wild dogs are first discovered when the dog belonging to Joe Don Baker's marine biologist character is attacked by the leader, and Baker spots it. Initially, it's thought to be the only wild dog. However, it becomes apparent it's one of many, and unfortunately Baker's CB radio isn't working, and a ferry isn't due for four more days.
For those into gore, not much of the attacks are shown, and dead people are never shown (though people are killed), only some dead dogs are seen after being shot or run over. There's some foul language and no nudity.
There's an older man on the island who apparently hired a woman to have sex with his simpleton overweight son of thirty or forty years of age (they don't - he's not interested). Those characters were pretty annoying. Other characters are pretty inefficient about boarding up or barricading doors and windows against the dogs, and people who know about the dogs still drive around with their car windows down all the way. A bit with a rowboat peters out without much resolution, when I expected some.
