Netflix’s Family Pack—originally titled Loups-Garous—is a French adventure-comedy that takes audiences on a time-traveling journey to the Middle Ages. Directed by François Uzan, known for his work on Lupin, this family-friendly thriller centers on a modern family who unexpectedly finds themselves transported back to the year 1497 after playing an old board game, The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow. Here’s a complete breakdown of the cast and characters in Family Pack, a fantastical medieval tale.
What is the Netflix movie ‘Family Pack’ about?
When Jérôme, Marie, and their kids travel to the countryside to visit Gilbert, they uncover a dusty board game, The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow. An earthquake soon throws them into a different era, where their modern-day instincts and skills are tested in the 15th century. They discover they’ve been thrust into a dangerous game where they must use newfound powers to battle werewolves each night, unmasking hidden threats among the townspeople. Will the Vassiers manage to survive and find their way back to the present, or will they fall prey to the ruthless werewolves?
The movie is set in the fictional French village of Miller’s Hollow, a nod to the board game that inspired the film. In the heart of the Middle Ages, the Vassier family must navigate a village rife with supernatural intrigue and the constant threat of nightfall, where werewolves roam freely.
