Review of Chaw

Chaw (2009)
5/10
Giant boar runs amok in Korea in an uneven and disappointing comedy horror film
15 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Cop is sent to a small village in the country when he listed, jokingly, "anywhere" as he second choice for assignment. Once there he has to deal with not only his wife and crazy mother, but also the local loonies who are in danger thanks to a man eating giant boar.

Odd mix of comedy and horror is basically an off the wall version of Jaws but set in the woods. The bits and characters are very compelling, however there are so many strands and so many characters that the film never manages to juggle any of them successfully so the film never satisfies. Its not a bad movie, its just one that resembles a stew made from the finest ingredients but still fails to taste good because nothing works together well.

Given the choice I'd rent it and then watch it with friends.
