Stray Dogs (Psy) is a 1989 Soviet action thriller directed by Dmitriy Svetozarov. Inhabitants of a ghost town, located near the dried Aral Sea, one by one fall victims of a pack of abandoned and gone wild dogs. Local authorities organise a hunting party with the mission to exterminate the predators. But the tensions among motley crew hunters and the horrible cunning of dogs make the task deadly dangerous.
