hyped garbage

Good movie but grossly overrated

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Not for the faint of heart. James Isaac directs this gory low budget flick from Fangoria. John Hickman(Travis Aaron Wade)puts together a hunting weekend for some of his San Francisco buddies that is suppose to be a guys-only thing; but somehow John's girlfriend Brooks(Tina Huang)is a tag-a-long. Fine; John hustles the group off to his late uncle's property in the boondocks to hunt wild pigs. This outing will not be a typical weekend trip...there will be hillbillies, hippies, massive marijuana fields, muddy wallows and the legend of a big ass 3,000 pound wild boar named "The Ripper". Things get violent, insane and bloody. Others in the cast: Howard Johnson Jr., Trevor Bullock, Jason Foster, Rajiv Shah and Christina McKay.

A bunch of multicultural guys and a girl go on a trip to the country. They go on a pig hunt as they are military and one of them is a hunter. Once in the country they run into the neighbors. They are the stereotypical movie hillbillies. Two of them go along for the pig hunt. These people don't go along with each other at all, making for a very obnoxious, long and tedious 1:15 of the movie. The beginning of the movie hints at a large hog that eats horses. And there are rumors of a 3000 pound one roaming the country. Earlier in the movie the gang also run into some weird black guru and a couple of his drugged out hippie devotees. The last part of the movie gets entertaining as the remaining guys from the gang escape the violent hillbillies and end up at the cult's house and meet the giant boar as well as some sexy girls.There is a troubling trend in horror movies to present our cast as nothing but bunch of annoying, bickering idiots, insulting and threatening each other for hours. I don't know who thinks that's entertaining. It's not. It's a pain. This movie for the most part follows that recipe but with an unattractive cast. There is a bit of violence and gore. But if you're into animal death, torture, and gore, then this movie is for you as the camera loves to linger on animal carcasses.I give this movie 3 stars for the 7 or so topless girls bathing. Nothing else is worth watching here.

The best pig movie is, of course, Razorback. This one is a different pig movie. Think B-Movie expectations and you've got a winner. Crazy at times, opens up in weird directions and gets really loopy. It is entertainment for scary/horror/adventure folks. That's what a movie like this is supposed to do. It does it. Comes with laughs up front and hidden. A good time if your snoot isn't pointed upward. I appreciate it. There is a smear of styles blended in a cool and engaging way. The rednecky thing is stereotyped but works. The Fearsome Bugger is only on screen for the last five minutes of the film but the story is not about "Death Walks On Four Legs", it's about ... we'll, just watch it. If you're wallering around in this neighborhood this is probably the kind of movie you're looking for.

Actually, it was kind of a mish-mash to where you didn't know what it was.. I mean, was there some kind of tectonic shift where California is right next to Arkansas? Because that's the only way I could explain how inbred, bible thumping rednecks could be smack dab right next to dope-smoking hippies who worship giant pigs for some reason.Smake dab into this mess comes our hero and his girlfriend, an Asian actress actually playing a character with a little depth and not a token or stereotype. He brings some of his buddies to go hunting, but everyone seems a bit off. They go to his uncles house, and find it full of graffiti, animal parts and scrapbook clippings. Never really explained why.But overall, this movie is overcrowded with too much stuff going on, few likable characters, and much of it seems like filler for the whole ten minutes the monster is on screen.
