We've got a very special treat for you this morning... how about your very first look at Franck Richard's French horror flick The Pack, which is currently lensing off in the UK?! Beyond the break you can read a little set report tease from B-D stringer Tom Espley, and check out the first image featuring SFX work by Atelier 69 (Frontier(s), Mutants, The Horde, Via Ferrate), led by Olivier Afonso. He's know for his groundbreaking work on all of the aforementioned horror films.
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.
Bloody-Disgusting were lucky enough to have been invited on to the set to witness first-hand the production of upcoming movie ‘The Pack’ (La Meute), from company La Fabrique de Films, who brought us the gruesome masterpiece ‘Inside’ (À l'intérieur) and ‘Humans’.
After being driven up a bumpy dirt track we arrived at the top of a manmade mountain of coal mining waste. Nerves of steel were required for this one – as the night and the cold set in the shadows lengthened and the corners darkened, and the desolate wasteland took on an eerie and chilling atmosphere. Somewhere on set lurked the ghouls; gruesome, bloody, and most of all – hungry. So, imagine the feeling when you enter a smoke-filled, candlelit room to sit down for chow only to be joined by the whole pack of ravenous ghouls. More than once did I have to check out of the corner of my eye to make sure that was just red wine in their glasses. If you think I’m being oversensitive, check out the exclusive shot that Bloody-Disgusting managed to get their claws on. This tasty morsel definitely left me hungry for more, as this movie promises to be truly terrifying and unique; and from my experience, I’m expecting it to deliver.
FANTASTIC, what a great looking monster!!!! The premise for this already had me interested but the image now has me completely sold!!! Can't wait! Thanks for the update Tom.
More movie monsters need to start looking as creepy as the things Guillermo has been putting on the screen for the last few years. Above all else it's great to see more movie monsters that aren't computer generated!!! Way to bring it back!
Sure, the monster's cool-looking and all and I'm very interested in the film, but seriously- does no one see a striking resemblance to the Chatterer Cenobite!? Looks like something they could have lifted from Hellraiser's early concept art.
Yes I can't wait for another french horror film; they are so original and badass! This is no different! What a great plot, and what a scary looking monster.
i really dug inside but that was because of the crew and execution not because of the studio. this sounds promising but cmon guys, the fucking likeness is tantamount to the pale man!
Sorry SnuFFY gotta disagree. Yes, it's an awesome looking beastie, but it is pretty derivative of both Guillermo Del Toro's pale man and Clive Barker's Chatterer as other posters have noted. What I'm excited for is to see this creature get REALLY NASTY and give us some of the gooey gorey stuff we've come to love from recent French offerings!!! Neither the pale man nor Chatterer ever got into the nitty gritty blood and guts. But I have a feeling this little fella is gonna be covered in the stuff!!!
I just hope for some variation among the monsters. I don't need them to be radically different from the one posted just enough to give em some personality. I think they will be if they are supposed to be her kids! Looks pretty bad ass!
Outlandish. It's a mixture of paleman and the creatures from
"sleepwalkers". I can't believe some of you hated "Inside", it is one of the creepiest, intense and disturbing horror movies of the decade.
