Let’s consider only the horror genre, or those films tagged as “horror” on Amazon Prime. We’re here to change all that because you need to see some of this stuff. In other words, they’ll never encounter some of these monuments to stupidity that are only discovered by the brave, addled explorers at Paste. They’ll never explore 1% of how deep some of the service’s more bizarre rabbit holes go.
The average Prime subscriber will only ever use the service’s “search” function in order to find a particular film, or browse the surface menus for what has been newly added (and advertised) by the service. And when you routinely compile lists of the best content streaming on services such as Amazon Prime as part of your job, it means you really can’t avoid confronting certain realities as a result, the most consistently entertaining of which is this: The Amazon Prime Video catalog is absolutely packed with the weirdest garbage you’ve never seen, and never will see. It’s also no secret that the Amazon Prime Video catalog is hopelessly broken in terms of UI, and more or less impossible to browse in any way that is sane or logical.
Following their previous collaboration on "Charlie's Farm", former wrestling champion Nathan Jones and horror veteran Bill Moseley also returned to join Chris Sun's cast.It’s an undeniable fact that the Amazon Prime Video catalog is impressively massive in scope.

Last but certainly not least, deep respect for Chris Sun as he managed to gather a dream-cast full of Australian cult legends! "Boar" stars John Jarratt ("Wolf Creek", "Dark Age"), Roger Ward ("Mad Max", "Blood Camp Thatcher") and Steve Bisley (Goose from "Mad Max"). The special effects are not always convincing, especially when the digital pig is spurting or devouring human heads, but the gore is overall fantastic. The plot is incredibly simplistic and straightforward: a small community in the wide Australian outback is beleaguered by a mastodon boar, about the size of a mammoth, and it is killing one helluva lot of people! Sourpusses are likely to slam the script, since it doesn't bother to clarify why the animal is approximately ten times its species normal size, but B-movie fanatics will simply just enjoy the massive amount of bloodshed, the breath-taking rural Aussie filming locations and - of course - the sight of the humongous pig with its filthy tusks and eerie growling.
I have a lot of sympathy for writer/director Chris Sun ever since the unscrupulous "Charlie's Farm", I cherish a tremendous fondness for Australian horror cinema in general, and my favorite sub-genre also just happens to be "oversized animal attack" movies! With its premise, "Boar" naturally reminds you instantly of Russell Mulcahy's 1984 classic "Razorback", but Chris Sun's film is neither a sequel, a remake or an homage. I'm incredibly biased and already knew that I was going to love "Boar" long before I sat down to watch the world premiere at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. Is it possible for a B-movie to offer more outrageously violent & bloody entertainment than "Boar" does? No, absolutely not and that's a guarantee! Sincere apologies, but you won't be reading a 100% objective review from me. Is "Boar" a flawed horror film with quite a few shortcomings? Yes, it most certainly is. This "little" piggy caused a gory massacre!
