Generally speaking, I’m not really a fan of the whole “animals run amok” genre. There are a few exceptions to the rule, of course, but for the most part, I find them to be somewhat lacking in the horror department. However, having recently witnessed James Isaac’s enjoyable 2008 creature feature “Pig Hunt,” I’ve been secretly craving more animal-related mayhem. Enter Jeong-won Shin’s Korean monster flick “Chaw,” a self-described “dark comedy” about a man-eating boar and the poor schmucks who must contend with it. I’d almost completely forgotten about the film, that is, until I spied a small article about its upcoming Region 1 release over at 24 Frames Per Second. Here’s a lengthy synopsis, courtesy of YesAsia: Shock and fear wash over the quiet, peaceful town of Sameri when ecologist (Soo Ryeon) discovers the body parts of a girl in the mountains. Officer Kim Kang Su (Uhm...

Trailer for Korean rampaging giant pig movie Chaw. Jeong-won Shin directs a cast that includes Josiah D. Lee (The Red Machine) Yu-mi Jeong (A Bittersweet Life). The IMDb describes the movie as "a black comedy about the events that are set into motion in a town after a man-eating boar goes on a rampage."
While you might laugh, it's not the first time a movie has been made bout a giant boar on the rampage. I've always been a fan of Russell Mulcahy's (Resident Evil: Extinction) 1984 big box VHS classic Razorback. A film about a crazed giant boar that terrorizes the Australian outback.
