You guys remember hearing about CHAW last year? The Korean flick about a giant killer pig is finally coming to DVD and Blu-ray in the U.S. The title has been altered to CHAWZ, and it will hit shelves on April 26th via Magnolia Home Entertainment. No word on special features, but you can take a peak at the cover art below. Here’s the plot:
One day in the small and peaceful village of Sameri, boasting no criminal cases for 10 years, a terrible accident happens. Ecologists studying wild animals on a nearby mountain discover a collection of dismembered body parts. Policeman Kim Kang-su, just transferred to Sameri from Seoul, takes the case. The victim turns out to be a grand-daughter of Chun Il-man, who was once a legendary hunter. Chun is convinced that it wasn’t a human that murdered his granddaughter but a man-eating boar, Chaw. Terrified, the people of Sameri invite one of the most famous hunters, Baek, to catch the Chaw. Baek leaps at the chance, hoping it will prove himself to be the best ever hunter. Baek, Chun, detective Sim in charge of the case, ecologist Soo-ryun and Kim Kang-soo (whose mother is also missing) head into the deep dark mountains to confront the beast.
Described as “JAWS with a wild boar,” the horror/comedy is directed by Jeong-won Shin and stars Tae-woong Eom, Yu-mi Jeong (below), Jang Hang Seon, Je-mun Yun, Park Hyuk Kwon, Yun-min Jeong and Josiah D. Lee.
