***SPOILERS*** Very underrated and almost forgotten movie about a pack of feral and wild dogs taking over an island of the coast of California tearing apart and eating anyone, man or beast, that they come in contact with. It's up to marine biologist Jerry Parker, "Big Joe" Don Baker, to put an end to the carnage that the wild dogs are responsible for on Seal Island with time running out before he and what's left of the island's human as well as animal population are killed and devoured by them. This all happened so innocently with the people vacationing on Seal Island leaving their pet dogs there thinking that they'll find both food and a home there; Which for the most part turned out to be those people living there. Not once realizing that the dogs will resort to their primitive and wolf-like instincts and form packs in order to survive which in fact is what they did.
Shocking scenes of man women as well as animals attacked and killed by this pack of some two dozen wild dogs with Jerry trying to get help from the coast with his radio transmitter knocked out by a winter storm. Lead by this top dog mongrel the pack soon overwhelms the few humans on the island leaving it all up to Jerry and Seal Island's hotel manager Hardiman, Richard B, Shull,to take them on with barley their bear hands after they run out of the little ammunition, shotgun shells, that they had with them.
***SPOILERS*** Much like the 1959 movie "The Killer Shrews" the film "The Pack" had the mad and rabid dogs killed not by starving them to death but by roasting them alive in Hardiman's hotel that Jerry, using himself as bait, trapped them in. With all the blood violence and carnage in the movie the final scene will definitely tug on your heartstrings with Jerry who barley survived the dog attacks sticking his hand out in friendship to the last surviving member-scared shivering and cute little mutt-of the dog pack who only joined it when it was abandoned by its master in him feeling that it had a chance to survive in the wild.
