If you liked The host, but wanted something a little darker, get ready for Chaw, the latest Korean monster movie from director Shin Jeong-won. Over at the film's official website (or beyond the break) you can get your first look at the international trailer for the film, which features a creepy look at the pic's monster, along with the official synopsis.
"One day in a small and peaceful village Sameri, boasting no criminal cases for 10 years, a terrible accident happens. Ecologists studying wild animals on a nearby mountain, discover a collection of dismembered body parts. Policeman KIM Kang-su just transferred to Sameri from Seoul takes the case. The victim turns out a grand-daughter of Chun il-man, who was once a legendary hunter. Chun is convinced that it wasn’t a human that murdered his granddaughter but a man-eating boar, Chaw. Terrified, the people of Sameri invite one of the most famous hunters Baek to catch the Chaw. Baek leaps at the chance hoping it will prove himself to be the best ever hunter. Baek, Chun, detective Sim in charge of the case, ecologist Soo-ryun and KIM Kang-soo (whose mother is also missing) head into the deep dark mountains to confront the beast."
A "monster" boar--great choice for a country where the only remaining wildlife habitat is along the DMZ. Give me Razorback for real hogwild horror.
I'm with flesheater123: how about something with a bit more zang to it than the harried hirsute hams of an animal that could never exist in today's hyperindustrialized and overpopulated South Korea....
I'd rather see the Muppets do a full version of "Pigs in Space". Maybe these guys are just cashing in on Swine Flu paranoia and showing the evils of big pigs.
this looks like a crap version of the new American movie PIG HUNT, why is it all of the good ideas need to be co-opted and brought overseas?
PIG HUNT looks AMAZINGLY BADASS by the way, redneck revenge horror mixed with a huge dash of supremely twisted drug mayhem, SIGN ME UP!
