Review of Chaw (2009) by Dean M — 06 Jun 2010

For me personally this is a 5 but I'm giving it a 6 because there were things I didn't like about this film that it is probably unfair to criticize too harshly. Basically, I cant stand 3 Stooges type black humour unless it is done well (i.

E. Evil Dead). The humour here isn't done well. I love creature features which is why I was excited about this, I even enjoy badly rated creature features like 'Lake Placid' - I like the mish mash of comedy and horror but this wasn't done well.

Secondly it is a good 40 minutes too long! Seriously! It was very slow and at 2hrs they could have done it in an hour and 20, 2 hours for this sort of film is not necessary. Its not smart enough! There is no plot to develop! The boar is kind of cool though.

This doesn't stand out as a horror or a comedy or a parody - had it been shorter and less character based it would have been better.
