“I donu0026#39;t understand why funny, dumb, and unattractive always come as a package in movies. Pretty people can be funny … and dumb too. But anyway … this little film is an entertaining ride. Itu0026#39;s got funny, dumb, and unattractive people in it along with a giant pig that likes to dine on human beings. Itu0026#39;s not a horror movie at all, except in concept. Itu0026#39;s a comedy and it is quintessentially Korean. Itu0026#39;s cast very well and everyone in it is earnest in their portrayal of absurdities. The cops are macho bumbling idiots, and people, and the pig, fall down a lot. As with most every South Korean film the production values are great but donu0026#39;t go in expecting a lot of good monsterness. The film is more about the people and the community than it is about the boar. The creature alternates between a couple guys in a furry jumpsuit and medium grade CGI but it gets the job done and doesnu0026#39;t look cheap. Chaw doesnu0026#39;t take itself seriously and if you donu0026#39;t, you will enjoy it. Itu0026#39;s funny and entertaining.”
