2009 ·2h 1m · ★ 5.7 (57)

A black comedy about the events that are set into motion in a town after a man-eating boar goes on a rampage.

Why it matters

A feral boar turns a sleepy town into a grotesque playground of black comedy and carnage, blending creature feature thrills with sharp social satire.

  • Practical effects bring the monstrous boar to grisly, tactile life—B-movie charm with a teeth-and-tusks edge.
  • Balances gore and dark humor, riffing on small-town paranoia and human folly with a knowing wink.
  • For fans of creature features who appreciate when the monster is more than just a set piece—it’s a catalyst for chaos.
  • Not high art, but its rough edges and offbeat tone capture the spirit of Korean genre cinema’s late-2000s underground scene.
