Boar

In the case of Boar, it's absolutely what you would expect based on the premise. If you're fine with that, you should be as happy as a pig in mud.

A lackluster kind of story.

The clue, as they say, is in the title.

For now, Boar is mostly good fun, but, as with far too many creature features, it ultimately falls flat once the creature is revealed in all its CG non-glory.

Sometimes you want to see a man's leg get wrapped in barbed wire before being dragged, screaming into the dark by a giant boar.

An exasperating mess, unredeemed even by the grindhouse thrill of copious gorings and disembowelments.

Boar is nothing more and nothing less than what it says on the tin: a gruesome creature feature that's as Australian as it gets.

With a cast that any genre fan will tune in for, Boar is a great film to watch on the couch with friends and a bunch of beer on hand. I have to score the flick as I would every film, but for a genre creature feature, take the time to watch the film.

Boar delivers on laughs, excitement, and one killer animal.

Boar does what it needs to do without too much fanfare and you'll either like it for the silly creature feature that it is or be totally indifferent towards it for not being as good as Jaws or King Kong
