Barney Burman's Wild Boar

As low budget horror movies go, this isn't too bad and gets extra marks for the cool monsters.

The other reviews caused me to think it would be worse and I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised.

It's a fairly standard format but kept me entertained. Could've done with some better death scenes but on the whole the best nuclear pig movie I've seen this year.

If you go into it expecting campy, cheesy, schlocky, 80s fun (and a couple of beers), it wasn't completely bad.

The premise is as silly as it gets and our treasure hunters are acting typically dumb but the mutant pig enemies look pretty damned good design-wise. Acting is fairly standard horror fare, probably above-average for a cheesy horror. It all gave off a very 80s camp vibe like "The Toxic Avenger" or "Tremors". The gore was decent, but the kills won't be enough to satisfy the violence fans. Set design looked like they filmed in a town previously ravaged by meth addiction and poverty and now abandoned, but suitable given the plot.

I didn't hate it. It's certainly not a 1/10, but don't expect anything serious.

I've seen some dumb women in horror movies but these girls takes the prize, everything they do from start to finish is just plain pointless and stupid and the ending is ridiculous. That being said the costumes and makeup are really well done, the plot ,dialogue and the acting were a bit on again, off again but all up an entertaining movie.

So, I doubled my 15-minute rule, but the people were so lame and progress and interest so nonexistent that I couldn't continue. Not a single character is likable or attractive (I mean moreso in their personalities but looks could apply too), so why would I care to follow them? (The "mission" they were on was also lame and poorly set up.)

Dear Horror Writers and Directors,

STOP making such characters in horror movies. Also, consider the horror films that are legendary in the genre. Do you know why they've stood the test of time? Because the characters could be empathized with, even if they weren't always likable! LEARN that the horror actually comes from seeing yourself in the characters/not wanting bad things to happen to decent to good people. You give me a group of annoying people and the horror element is ZERO. There goes the interest too!

Horror is my favorite genre (including every subgenre of horror), and I'm a cinephile besides, so believe me when I say that you are FAILING this genre in this horrible trope you insist on. It makes people dislike your movie, turn it it off, leave a bad review, and never watch your films again.

Sincerely, Frustrated

*1-star because some of the trailer (the pig people) seemed intriguing, but, alas, I didn't get that far.

Illogical plot. Dialog written by a 5th grader. Shaky camera work and weird scene cuts do not make a horror film.

Don't waste your time.

Choose another movie.
