Firstly, I rated this a generous 2 stars because I support the work of Chris Sun, Australian Horrors and the idea was a great one. I have been looking forward to this movie for over a year, ever since seing Melissa Tkautz talking about it on the RHOS. I can't remember how often I have searched for it hoping I could buy it. Finally, this week was the date I had saved in my calendar to purchase it on ITunes, and buy it I did! What a waste of money. Honestly, I am not one to bash movies, especially Aussie Horrors, but the script writing here is woeful beyond belief. Random characters introduced for no good purpose, whilst characters involved in the guts of the film aren't developed properly and their lines are just dreadful. There is no chemistry between many of the actors and the main attempt made at making it 'typically bush Aussie' is throwing costant four letter f bombs in stupid contextual places throughout the place. It is complete nonsense. This film had the potential to be a powerhouse creature feature set in the Aussie Bush. The Boar is actually realistic looking considering the size and many other large creatures I've seen in other similar films. Unfortunately, the script falls so flat (and it pains me beyond belief to say this being a huge supporter of the main people involved and many of the actors here) it is a complete disaster I will never watch again. A woeful, tragic, mess of a disaster. Long winded, excruciatingly awkward to witness snor-t fest.

Boar delivers nothing new, and with bad acting, clichés and a puppet boar that could only have been spawned by a low budget, you are not missing out on anything. A run-of-the-mill cheap horror flick with little effort or substance.

If you enjoyed Razorback, you'll love BOAR! I consider BOAR the long lost pig cousin of Razorback. A very big special thanks to my friend Jay in Australia for sending me a copy of this Piggy on dvd! This is one really fun action packed movie! Incredibly graphic and boy does the BOAR look damn good! What I really like is you get to see this nasty piggy in action quite a bit, not one BOAR-ing minute in this flick. Top notch special effects! The BOAR is massive and full of nasty scars and many countless details. The characters are hilarious; I especially loved John Jarratt's character. This is a must see if you like killer pig movies. I hope the USA gets to see this big hog in action soon!

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!
