Kim sticks out here like a sore thumb, and just to ram the point home, the imported detective may as well be called Agent Cooper. Nobody in this village could remotely be described as normal, and the non-pig related antics have a strong whiff of Twin Peaks to them.
Hell, we even get treated to Korean rapping (I hope I never hear anything like this atrocity again). Sameri is populated by weirdos such as the doll carrying nutter that borrows extensively from Sadako’s wardrobe, or the two local businessmen with a penchant for live eel. Cue massacre, before our heroes hunt him down in the wild. MR GIANT PIG (all 500 Kg of him) is still out there, and now he’s pissed. Our local heroes (including flakier than a Cadbury’s product ecologist and other typical hunting types) gun down the porcine culprit. As soon as GIANT PIG graduates to eating humans, Cheon discerns the culprit and it’s huntin’ time. In the meantime, Seoul copper Kim (Tae-woong Eom), has transplanted his entire family there (complete with Senile mother) and is somewhat perturbed at the insane level of incompetence on display. Unfortunately for them, GIANT PIG pays no heed to mankind’s idiotic proclamations, and starts chomping on the recently interred. The small village of Sameri prides itself on being completely crime free. If that makes sense, which now I’ve written that sentence I’m not sure is the case. Basically, think Twin Peaks meets Jaws with a liberal sprinkling of Predator. Unfortunately he’s also attached a strange and surreal vein of comedy to the film that may or may not work. He’s taken the Jaws template and applied it to the mountains in Korea and the monster in question is a GIANT PIG! This should, in theory, be seven shades of awesome. So as a result, I’m abandoning that gag and just doing a straight review with the summary from GIANT PIG at the end.Ĭhaw, Jeong-won Shin’s 2009 effort is clearly an attempt to recapture the magic that made The Host so much fun. I can’t think of anything particularly interesting to say and my attempt to write in the style of GIANT PIG himself was an epic and unfunny failure. So, you porky bastard, let’s see how fared.ĭisclaimer at the start: I’ve really struggled with this review. It’s about time one of us took on GIANT PIG, and I reckon I’m the man for the job because I fear nothing that I roast on a sunday. At our count, and this is by no means definitive, we have 3: the Australian film Razorback, America’s piss poor Pig Hunt, and this, Chaw, released in 2009. As the release neared, conversation turned to that we couldn’t actually think of that many examples of GIANT PIG films out there. Whenever we saw the trailer for this, or news about the film surfaced in any form, all coherent conversation went out the window drowned beneath cries of GIANT PIG! Eventually, the situation arose where one of us (Kloipy) was even posting as GIANT PIG offering out threats of death to all and sundry.

Back in the early days of our little gathering, one of the recurring memes was prompted by the news that South Korea had produced a little film called Chaw, which promised to be stock full of carnage wrought by that rarest of cinematic beasts THE GIANT PIG.
