Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In the harsh, yet beautiful Australian outback lives a beast, an animal of staggering size, with a ruthless, driving need for blood and destruction. It cares for none, defends its territory with brutal force, and kills with a raw, animalistic savagery unlike any have seen before.

“In the Outback no one can hear you squeal.”

The very ending did turn me off a bit, I'll cop to that, but up until that point, Boar was basically Ockerassic Park. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
