Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
jemmahatton I'm not a big fan of creature feature films, but being a fan of Chris Sun's other films, and being a big Nathan Jones fans (also spending a lot of time in Kandanga as well) I had to check this movie out (especially after following the story of its filming on Facebook) and I loved every minute of it. Chris did a great job of capturing outback Aussie culture, and he did an excellent job of making an enjoyable movie that I'm likely to watch numerous times, just like Charlie's Farm or Daddy's Girl.I want to see what Chris can do with a huge Hollywood style budget because his movies so far have been amazing.
beckeyruth This is a great beastie horror movie.It was fun and i enjoyed it a lot.I wasnt expecting much.id looked at the mixed reviews and the trailor..they should make another trailor to it as it was much better than portrayed. I saw Charlie's Farm and it was okjay but I didnt get drawn into the movie so i sort of lost interest. I live in the bush a lot like the one in the movie. and maybe i had the right atmosphere for the film.i use to chase carnivores away from my animals.. go out in the dark with a dolphin torch..ha.so yeah..i would like to say that the aussie accents arent overdone or forced at all. people in the bush still talk like that.i liked seeing john jarrat as a hero instead of a villian.He probably enjoyed it too.Im not saying much about the storyline as its explained on here anyway.It is a horror movie so some people will get uppity and not like it.Make up your own mind and see it..its worth a look..i enjoyed this more than razorback..but razorback is still a classic. its not like razorback much at all.
paulhfromthedeep Ok. It is what is, and it does what it does perfectly fine. Its a stock standard plotted monster animal story. A fair few deaths, most which you don't care about toooooo much, and a few you do. Most of those you think will make it , do. Some perfectly ok dialogue and some cheesy stuff, but nothing too bad.Some of the aussie country speak is a bit overdone and forced, but it works fine. Ernie Dingo is wasted in an unimportant back role. Probably an ancient looking Chris Haywood too.The Boar looks decent, but quite inert most of the time. The close up 'model' Boar is very inert but scary. The CGI 'distant' boar looks acceptable. It also looks a bit over-large, theres no way it'd stay hidden for so long. It IS the size of a combi.It has none of the weird surealness of Razorback, none of its fantastic soundscapes, none of it bizarre OTT characters, its all largely conventional.Its certainly no 10/10 movie, but its not bad either. Its.. um.. fine. Go see it, soon.
SpannersGerm669 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!
