 Thanks for checking out this movie review video. So shutter just put up the film boar. Yes, boar is in a wild boar a wild pig and The film is set in Australia, and I thought you know what there really aren't that many creature features out That are like straight-up creature features like actual critters like alligators sharks stuff like that Especially not wild pigs basically. I know there's at least one other one out there I think it's called razor back which I've heard good things about that I do need to check out at some point, but at any rate this one was at my fingertips because I am a big fan of shutter I have shutter, so I was like I'm gonna give this a go. So here is my review of boar So first of all in the plus category for this film It is a creature feature like I was just saying there aren't that many creature features So if you're looking for such a film, this is one of very few So go ahead and check it out for that reason sometimes in my opinion movies like that Like it's just good enough just being a certain genre or well in this case subgenre Because there's not a whole lot of it available, and if it's competently done even if it's nothing special It's worth watching if you're into that subgenre So I have my notes on my phone. So that's why I'm gonna keep looking down Um Okay, so that was my first bit. There's a lot of comedy put into this it's kind of meant to be this kind of mixture of horror and comedy and I gotta be honest I don't feel like the comedy really landed a whole lot of the time There were a few things that were kind of funny, but I didn't find myself at any point actually Laughing or even laughing internally because actually it does take a lot for me to like really laugh out loud If I'm watching by myself, which I was with this film So not even like thinking internally like oh, that's pretty funny it's just like the comedy really didn't land for me and I found that to be kind of Disappointing because that's kind of the main focus when you're not seeing the bore is they're doing a lot of comedic stuff And so when that stuff's not actually Landing properly, you're kind of like what are we doing with this? It seems like wasted time It's like let's just get back to the bore So on the topic Okay, well, I'm gonna stick with this because I kind of categorize things. I'm gonna stick with this So with the comedic stuff not that great the dialogue at many times seemed improvised like it was very awkwardly Delivered not in the sense of like this person was Reciting it but in the sense of like it seems like they were just trying to come up with stuff on the spot And it would just end up being kind of awkward So a lot of the dialogue just kind of seemed a little improvised and it just made a lot of scenes like just awkward And I was just like that's kind of weird Acting overall was you know, you had some people who did a pretty good job yet some people who didn't do a really good job So I don't know but the bit but one of the biggest things for me is that I Didn't really find any interesting characters in the film to be honest Even when there was someone who seemed like they would be an interesting character They didn't really end up being an interesting character. Everyone's very face value There's nothing all that unique about any character except the actual bore being a you know giant bore That's not a spoiler. I'm not doing any spoilers for this obviously. That's not a spoiler We all know there's a giant bore in it, especially if you've seen the trailer But yeah, just a lot of the characters are just like oh, there's that's a person that that is also a person Like there's no personality to any of these characters, which makes it so you're just like I don't even care about any of these people every single person could die in this film And I'd be like all right, you know, it just turns into one of those films where you're just like I hope this bore runs around and kills everybody because they're the most interesting character in this So that kind of sucks and on the the point of characters Bill Mosley is in this and I saw that like he's he shows up pretty much immediately. So I was just like oh sweet bill Mosley I do like bill Mosley. He can really bring it in some films Obviously, you know one of his best performances in my opinion being in devil's rejects. He did an outstanding job with that So the guy has chops. He's good Not good in this film and and I it kind of seemed to me like he wasn't digging his character Which I don't really blame him because I wasn't digging his character either I like I said I wasn't digging like any of the characters to be honest But he just seemed really disinterested in the role and his acting was just not it just wasn't there And I was I was really let down by that because when I saw him I was like, oh sweet bill Mosley like I'll probably like his character. He'll really step it up No, not in this film. It's I was like wow So based on all everything I've been saying you can lead to the conclusion I'm sure you've already thought about this The best parts of the film are with the bore the best parts are when the bore is on a rampage The bore is killing people that is when the film shines. That's when it gets to its true creature feature roots And for that reason it just seems like it was a film that the concept was initially, okay, it's a giant bore and it kills Let's write a script for it and they couldn't come up with any good story around that They were just like they just wrote all like the the bore rampage and killing scenes And then they were like, what do we put around all of this? And then they just put stuff around it. That's just not that good. So I mean There's there's not really a story to this to be honest. There really is no plot. There really is no story The whole thing is there's a giant killer bore That's the movie. That's the entire movie and there's not like there's nothing and I was kind of let down by that I mean, I understand like sometimes you just want like a straightforward film like kind of like Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim when it came out It's just a it's bunch of giant mechs fighting Kaiju and people were just like some people were like I hate it. There's nothing interesting about it. There's no real story. There's no real plot But then other people were just like, yeah, there's just giant mechs kicking some Kaiju But like that's exactly what I wanted. Just straightforward. Let's do this So for that reason if you just like straightforward like creature mayhem Then you may very well like this film because that's kind of what it is It's just like creature mayhem But I will tell you most likely you're not really gonna like all the stuff that doesn't have the bore in it Because it's not that good like I was saying So the bore itself the design in certain Sections at CGI and in certain it's practical now when it's practical. It looks good. I really like it when it's CGI It actually doesn't look too bad, but there were a few scenes with CGI where They focused a little too long on it Usually with with films that have like lower budgets, which is pretty much every horror film has it having lower budgets I'm sure this one didn't have a very big budget it Usually when they do CGI like that for creatures and blood and stuff like that They make it kind of like quick scenes quick shots So that like you see it But you can't take too much time to focus on it because otherwise you'll see that it looks fake and doesn't look that good So with this one for the most part they did that when it was the CGI portions But there were a few spots where it was like CGI and it was taking a long time and you're like It's starting to look like a computer animated thing But um the practical portions of the bore were really good. It looked really awesome. The design was really great It was very gnarly. It was very gory. It was like slobbery and gross and like that portion I loved and the kills like there were some actual like good kills in this because going into it I was just like How many ways can you have a bore kill people like you can just chomp people you can just eat them But they um, you know, they varied stuff up a little bit Which I did really like, you know, the kills were actually pretty satisfying and decent Like I said, the best parts are when the bore is in it and then specifically when the bore is killing people Like that's obviously the best part of this film. Um Uh, I said they had some good solid kills Overall, it's just a straightforward creature feature. Like I was saying like there's no story. There's no plot There's no good characters. It is a bore killing people And for that reason What I would have really liked with this film is just more of the bore more of the bore killing people Don't even try to give a story because it wasn't good with the story They tried to give because they they did try to like get you interested in some characters So you would care about them when they're in peril, but it just didn't work at all It was just boring and I was just like I don't care about these people Like I was saying like I only care about the bore at this point um So I will say once again, I'm not I'm not doing spoilers, but I will say the very end of the film There's something particular I did like about what they did in the ending. Um, it's kind of like how Uh, how every how the conflict resolved. I did like I did like aspects of how the con Conflict was resolved in the film, but there was something that happens at the very very end that I was just like I Literal eye roll for me literal eye roll when it happened and I was like really I don't think so come on So I I don't know. I don't know. Um overall You know, obviously these are all my just my opinions. I I wasn't too satisfied with it I didn't hate it. It wasn't a film where it's like. Oh my god. I want my time back It was decent enough in my opinion, but I would definitely not watch it again Um, but like I said, you know, some of you people out there if you just want a straightforward creature feature This may be your film if you just want to see a bore killing some people and you're fine with Not having too much like story or plot involved This may be for you that you may love it and and that's fine. That's totally fine but for me, this just wasn't my thing so, um If I'm giving it a star rating like I usually do with these out of five With halves in play, I'm going to give it two stars. This is a two star film. It's not bad It's not a bad film by by any You know stretch of the imagination it's just It's a it's it's a creature feature film, you know And like I did say there aren't that many like creature feature films like this So it gets a little bit, you know, it gets a tad bit extra in my rating just because it is that sub genre Because not a lot of people are doing it. But anyway, I wish this was a lot better. Um But you know what? That's what it is. But let me know have you watched board you plan to watch for Put the comments down there. Did you like it?
