Boar
In the harsh, yet beautiful Australian outback lives a beast, an animal of staggering size, with a ruthless, driving need for blood and destruction. It cares for none, defends its territory with brutal force, and kills with a raw, animalistic savagery unlike any have seen before.

Very well executed
Just perfect...
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Not much can be said beyond my headline. It's a very fun, sexy, funny, sometimes scary horror. It is well acted and uses barely any special effects.It's a refreshing horror, that has funny moments, and manly moments and is not cliched. The movie is what the title said, a Boar which is killing. It's well shot and well acted. Even the music is pretty good. Their is even a famous song that is played on the radio from a famous rapper 20=5 years ago, "baby, if you know what I'm saying."Highly recommended for horror lovers! 9.5 out of 10!
BOAR is a great Australian movie : its a CREATURE FEATURE folks - not GHANDI or SHINDLERS LIST... The Australian film industry is now near non-existent.. And Chris SUN is leading the charge in Australia to produce SOMETHING!!! And that is a great thing. Its easy to sit back and critique ... try and make a damn movie.. especially in Australia where film funding is a brown-paper-bag of non existent cash for projects.. The legendary films of Australia from the 80s (Mad Max, etc) are not being made here now.... sad... Horror films here ( Im Australian , living in Australia ;) are in SHORT supply ... America turns out some good stuff - but alot of crap too..BOAR is a GREAT movie given the cinematic climate it is being made in.. Ignore the negative reivews : people are entitled to opinions - but Australian horror is a RARE thing and Chris is delivering a good product.. ( I dont know Chris , and am not affiliated in any way - Im just an Aussie Horror fan) Now to the film...Contrary to other opinions - I think the acting is good (ive seen a LOT of Horror movies and seen outrageously worse acting... Pick any Troma film you like.. and i LOVE Troma..The film has a great number of legendary Aussie actors (John Jarrett, Roger Ward, Steve Bisley, Chris Heyward ) legends all of them and they all do what i would expect of them and delighted in watching them .. I mean Roger Ward : Mad Max and Turkey Shoot!!! Excellent! The ladies are also great too : Simone and Melissa are much stronger in BOAR than any of their lightweight TV stuff - In BOAR could see that they actually can act. We are talking a fictional big pig and i thought Simone was great in her "tragedy" scenes.. Nathan Jones : man "get-in-the-ring" love him. and its just him no makeup - loved his contribution.. The film looks great, the sound is crisp and effective ( i only watched it at home) the locations are moody and effective - and the BOAR is great.. I mean c'mon - its a PHYSICAL creation not a complete lame ass CGI effort.. and i challenge anyone to produce a physical creature.. Given the budget and such constraints i think its as good as it could be..In closing if you want to watch a CREATURE FEATURE - BOAR is as good as any you will see - support it !!!!!!
I can't believe the actors in this movie agreed to star in this utter crap . There is one line in this movie that was true "we are in the middle of a drought"and the money used for this should of gone to the farmers
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!
