'The Pack' follows Charlotte (Emilie Dequenne), a beautiful but rough around the edges kind of girl, who drives a beat-up station wagon in the countryside of northern France. Her journey Takes a turn when she picks up a mysterious hitchhiker (Benjamine Biolay), with whom she strikes an unusual bond. Stopping at a roadside diner, her new companion strangely disappears, and Charlotte finds herself knocked unconscious and held captive. She soon encounters a peculiar and disturbed woman (Yolande Moreau), and discovers that her blood is being used to feed a
“pack” of flesh-eating ghouls.
But while the movie is very good and very entertaining to watch, it does have a flaw that kept bugging me. [WARNING: Spoiler alert!] Specifically, the vagueness of the ending. I had to rewind the film three times to figure out who was hanging from the post at the very end…and I still don’t understand why she was there, especially given the previous scene where she is pregnant behind the bar. I’m not sure what was going on, but the ending threw me off a bit.
