The Pack (DVD)

Writer/director Robert Clouse, whose Enter the Dragon delivered hard-hitting action and whose Deadly Eyes provided gnawing rodent terror, combines both fright and fight in this survival tale where a walk in the woods becomes a long, dark journey into fear. Set on a remote island where vacationers have senselessly abandoned their unwanted pet dogs, the Pack shows man's inhumanity coming back to haunt him with fanged fierceness. The confused, starving pets form a rampaging pack and man's best friend becomes his worst fiend. Joe Don Baker (Walking Tall, the Natural, the Living Daylights) stars as the heroic marine biologist who comes up with a do-or-die scheme that will either reestablish man as top dog; or turn him into a tasty tidbit. The suspense is ferocious.
