Boar
Directed by Chris Sun
Having outgrown a minivan, a stray boar roams the boundary line of an outback town and massacres several backpackers, before venturing in to hunt the locals. Bernie and his visiting relatives, the Monroe’s, swiftly come face to face with the feral beast and uncover that some monsters are better left in stories. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.
A monster-sized boar terrorizes the outskirts of a rural Australian town.
Cast: John Jarratt, Simone Buchanan, Bill Moseley, Melissa Tkautz, Nathan Jones

A lot of people compare this to Tremors, but I didn't get the same level of enjoyment out of this. A lot of the carnage happens offscreen, the characters are pretty flat, and while the practical boar still looks amazing, the CGI didn't age nearly as well.
good and silly fun. kill scenes are good.
A fun throwaway watch but if u wanna see something really impressive (& which clearly inspired the director no matter what he’s said to the contrary) track down the true 80s Aussie classic Razorback instead-u won’t be disappointed ;) great use of iconic/cult Aussie actors though \nn/
Good movie! Not to be taken too seriously. Funny and gory! Wrestler Nathan Jones is hilarious too.
I am tempted to say this movie is like "JAWS...only on land instead of in the water.". But while I don't think it's comparable in every way, it's still a good scary flick from down under. The ongoing battle of humanity versus nature is still very much relevant.
