Boar

This film was everything I could of asked for out of this kind of film. The practical creature effects were amazing and the script was well written and funny the only let down for me was the cgi scenes with the titled beast but was fine on the budget the director had to work with. If the director had a bit more of a budget to have better cgi this would of been 10 stars but it's still a bloody awesome movie well worth a watch seeing a good Aussie monster movie

It's a Boar that eats people, nothing more, nothing less. A creature feature set in the Australian outback that has late night curiosity viewing written all over it.

Being a massive fan of Razorback and other pig movies (and creature features in general) I was very excited to finally get the opportunity to have a look at Boar. The director, Chris Sun's other efforts include the nasty Daddy's Little Girl and the Slasher Charlies Farm. While they were interesting, they had some glaring problems that prevented them from being very good movies, but each movie this director makes, is a massive step in the right direction. So, going into Boar i was expecting a fun time and that is exactly what I got! In fact, I will say its better than I expected. From the great banter amongst iconic Australian actors, to the fantastic looking giant Boar, this is what you want from this type of movie. Add to that the nastiness in the gore (which you exepct from this director) Boar is a great way to spend 90 minutes if you go into it expecting a fun time!

Loved seeing "Mick Taylor" from Wolf Creek in this movie. Too bad he didn't have a bigger part. I'm tired of watching movies where I actually hope the characters get killed just because they are so stupid. Bennie took the cake in the stupid department! Besides that, he was a jerk and a bully. Not a bad movie though, well worth watching.

Yes it had to happen. The Xmas ham has finally returned for revenge, Aussie style. This is an utterly ridiculous horror film about the prince of porkers who has a voracious appetite for outback Australians and the occasional American.

I know the premise sounds awful on paper but its executed with such tongue in cheek good humour with an overstated ribald, ocker vibe, that it actually works.If you have lived in Australia as I have you will know this is overdone in a big way. The "boar-ish" humour is a yard wide and ten feet deep but it plays well in the general context of this film.

As a horror film there is the predictable blood and gore factor but its not gratuitous or sadistic and this film plays better for it. Its more a little on the silly side as are the giant pig special effects.

If you want to have a good laugh with your mates over a few beers and chips or maybe some pork rinds, this is one to watch. 7/10 from me.
