Barney Burman's Wild Boar

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.

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.

The movie impressed me in a few fronts. The claymation was neat and added an unsettling dream effect. The monsters costumes and effects looked impressive especially for the strait to stream affair. Unfortunately, the film, or at least the version I saw on Amazon was poorly cut. Scenes seem to jump about as frequently as the characters do about the landscape with out explanation. The best example unfortunately comes with the end, where the characters drive from the desolate landscape to a suburb, get out of the car and are apparently in the middle of no where, and all while the pig villain seems to catch up their vehicle on foot despite assumedly driving a great distance. Lastly, most of the characters that go on the trip get little introduction and our gone very quickly.

Surprisingly professional looking for a low budget film. The lead actress, Augie Duke, is splendid.

The script is rather uneven though, little is explained how things came to be, the characters interactions with each other don't always make sense. Ending is really confusing too.

Bad script, bad acting, bad story, and bad direction. No part of this movie was good. How does crap like this even get made?
