Chaw

Director: Shin Jeong-won

2009 / 122min / 35mm

It’s been years since there was any foul play in the quiet mountain town of Sammaeri—but when villagers start showing up dead in the days leading up to a much-anticipated organic food fair, a team of five unlikely heroes will band together to track down the culprit, who at least one eyewitness insists is a giant, man-killing mutant boar. A black comedy of parochial small-town South Korean manners, a finely calibrated eco-terror monster movie, and a star vehicle for one helluva big, ugly, nasty pig.
