Chawz (2011)

Being a huge fan of South Korean cinema ("The Host", "Old Boy", "A Tale Of Two Sisters", "Bedevilled", "Natural City", "Save The Green Planet", "Mother", "Memories Of Murder", "Secret Sunshine", "Phone", "The Isle", "I'm A Cyborg But That's Ok", "Haeundae", "Conduct Zero", "Bunshinsaba", "Samaritan Girl", "3-Iron", "Hansel & Gretel", "The Red Shoes" and many, many more.), I am happy to say that "Chaw" delivered exactly what I was expecting: quirky fun with some monster action spliced in. The Police Chief dude that keeps asking for his club is absolutely hilarious! The blu-ray transfer is very nice. The film is just mindless fun with some interesting characters. Kudos to Magnolia/Magnet for picking up this film. I REALLY HOPE THEY PICK UP "Bedevilled" next for a blu-ray release.

I found myself waiting for this film to end about 20 minutes into it.

It was bogged down by silly Korean slapstick that wasn't very funny,and it took quite awhile to establish a storyline.

The characters were uninteresting and some most unnecessary.Although there were a couple of characters that I did like,it wasn't enough.The gore factor was virtually non existent and that's usually one reason we watch giant marauding creature flicks.

The pro is that the monster effect was quite good but you can't get into a movie just because the creature effect is good,there has to be some sort of motivation to keep you watching be it storyline,interesting and likable characters or even "good" comedy which I felt there were none of the above. I was really looking forward to it because I saw Pig Hunt and really enjoyed that giant killer Boar film.I say skip this one and watch Pig Hunt,you won't have to read subtitles either,and I just watched "The Man From Nowhere and loved every minute of it subtitles and all,so I have no problem reading them for if the film is good.

I purchased a Korean DVD of this movie last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It doesn't measure up to The Host in sfx or plot but is a fun popcorn monster on the loose romp. There is the usual Korean-style humor throwm in with a cast of characters you've seen in most modern creature on the loose productions: earnest/troubled young hero, cute female scientist, crusty wise old expert, brash hunter, etc. Better than a Syfy Channel cgi monster of the week with good actors, adequate if not spectacular sfx, and a tried and true plot.
