Boar (2018)

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

I watched it last night and absolutely loved it! I found as it was winding down, I thought what's going to happen now? Then realised how much time had passed watching it!! Not many movies do that to me! Hope that makes sense, didn't want to spoil anything.

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 !!!!!!

One person said it was unreal that the giant boar got up after losing its guts. It did not get back up. It showed that there was more than one huge boar. The special effects are not great, but not that bad either. The acting was ok and it was fun listening to their Australian accents. The story is pretty good and they do a really good job of character building which most movies don't even bother with these days. Some characters you actually get to liking and caring about their well being. It's basically a good B flick. Not great, but not bad.
