Arriving at a remote ranch, a group of hunters looking for wild boar in the woods on a weekend getaway come across a deranged family of inbreds targeting them as well as a commune's living God in the form of a massive, flesh-eating pig forcing them to get away from both threats in order to leave the area alive.
This one actually has a lot going for it. One of the stronger features here is that even with all the different plot threads, it manages to keep everything together with all the varying elements coming together surprisingly not as bad as it sounds. The idea of having the hunters coming from the city and having the culture shock of being out of their depth in the woods while trying to hunt wild boar for sport, coming across the old friends he left behind who have turned boar-hunting into their way of life which makes them jealous of his new lifestyle and then introducing the commune on the outskirts of the story who get enough mentions to keep them in the conscious framework. This tangled setup works nicely once it gets to the main series of encounters throughout here. The scenes of the family hunting down the friends are really good and contain some good action scenes, where the wilderness atmosphere is really played up nicely and gets some tension in their tribulations escaping through the dense underbrush of the woods around them. As well, the scenes at the convent are really enjoyable, packed with nudity and the majority of the gore with the pig being center stage for all it's worth. Most of the positive aspects come from here with those all making for a great time getting to see the prop creature in action, generating lots of action and suspense that all manage to come together and give it a lot to like about it. This isn't much wrong here but their pretty big issues. The main problem with it is the pig is off-screen until the end, not even being a central figure hunting them down on the outskirts of the main plot. Focusing more on the culture-shock of their more refined and dignified ways of hunting as a pass-time versus their more down-and-dirty means of killing the pigs for sport takes up tons more time in the first half than the main exploits of the pig. In fact, these don't even feel like a horror film at times but more like a survival/hunting film setup and it's only once they get to the end do we get to see the central figure involved, making the beginning really boring at times. Still, this isn't all that bad as it's still somewhat watchable.
Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, numerous amounts of violence against animals and drug use.
