Super Boar
Super Boar

Although a comedy horror of sorts with buffoonery and satirical slapstick, “Chaw” is mainly a dry humoured and intense ‘monster’ drama featuring some messy and quite grisly scenes therein. Imagine Jaws on land with a wild mad boar on the loose acquiring a taste for humans as a means of survival. Chaws of course. Certainly the mood of impending danger is thrust at the audience by “Chaw’s” dramatic opening credits, followed by some crazy village police running up and rolling down an embankment after they (shock, horror) find an actual crime as occurred in the crimeless village of Sameri. Reason - a burial grave as been dug up and the unfortunate deceased left with only his head. Later a local village girl after being hit by a truck and thrown over an embankment by two men attempting to avoid imprisonment for reckless and drunk driving, cause the girl to get eaten by a…wild boar. Shin, a cool nior type detective and the comedy police investigate a second crime! Shift to Seoul city where police officer Kang Su (Tae Woong Uhm) is given transfer instructions to move to Sameri (cuz he said ‘anywhere’ concerning his alternative policing area) along with his pregnant wife and batty mother, soon gets himself roped into the village’s grisly boar killings. For a while Kang Su and the village police believe a homicide (what? No crime village?) until Il Man (Hang Seon Jang – the builder fellow from K-drama “The Lovers”) the father of the dead missing girl and retired wild animal hunter, ascertains to police a wild boar (a big one at that…a mutation) had killed (eaten) his daughter. With help at hand by Baek (Je Moon Yoon), a professional animal hunter and a Norwegian team of snipers, all go out to free the villagers of the dangerous threat. But when the wrong boar is killed this enrages the Super Boar to seek revenge for the killing of his mate. Like “The Host” this similarly concerns itself about Real World Issues of commercial profit above threat of extinction. Concerns soon diluted however when a motley crew of characters hunt down the oversized killer boar, which takes main plot precedence. “Chaw” definitely shows it’s ‘teeth’ in the mad barn scene and the acting and character camaraderie is excellent throughout with a brilliant quality cast. Final was a little lacklustre though and the crazy woman element hardly fleshed out much (even satirically). The 2-disk DVD set also features 86 minutes of extra informative material. |

Thrilling

Chaw is a good movie. Although its unlikely to breed a wild boar as big as that the thrill is still amazing. It an ok film.. I would rather borrow instead of buying though. |
