Rees-Stevens, Louis (2024) Pack: a feature-length script. MA by research thesis, University of York.
Abstract
Pack follows Shane, an outcast teenager who lives in the woods with his huntsman father and longs for acceptance from the town he lives outside of. When the Chambers family moves in, the patriarch, Coach Chambers, offers him friendship and a spot on the lacrosse team, at the same time as suspicious wolf attacks plague the town. Shane and his friend James must gain the acceptance of the wider team by impressing the cruel team captain, Roman, the son of the coach. By the time Shane earns the respect of the lacrosse team and Roman, he notices the chambers might not be who they say they are and may not even be human. Discovering the lacrosse team and James are the monstrous progeny of the inhuman Chambers, left to be raised by regular humans, Shane must fight back against the Chambers to save himself and stop them from consuming the entire town.
