There was one copy of this film at the video store, and in that case, there's usually about a 50/50 chance of the film being good. Being as the opening logos included Universal Studios, I was given a little confidence, and in the end, I liked it just enough to put it in my "worth a watch" collection.
Yes, the effects are pretty cheesy, and I understand the backlash, but for what it is, I personally thought it was decent. I thought most of the acting was good, a different sort of story, and there were a couple of graphic moments that caused me to veer my eyes away from the screen. I loved the sound effects on the actual boar, even if it doesn't look very convincing at times, I certainly thought it sounded mean. I also wasn't really expecting the film to be funny, but I actually legitimately laughed quite a bit.
No masterpiece or anything, it definitely could have been better, but could have been worse. If you're into movies evolving around oversized demonic animals, you might get a kick out of it. I wouldn't recommend it if gore makes you uncomfortable, but otherwise, not too bad.
