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.
