PIG HUNT (2008)

"From the director of Jason X"?! The DVD cover says that like it's a good thing! I see it more as a warning.
 
A group of racially balanced hunters (white, black, Asian, Indian, white stoner and two white inbred hillbillies) set off on a pig hunt. They talk a lot, then talk some more, then talk a little more, then cap it off with a little long conversation. Finally...around a hour into the movie, they get pissed off at each other.  The hillbillies get their clan together and start fighting the hunters. The fight spills over into a local hippie commune that is actually a cover for some weed farmers that sacrifice trespassers to a giant boar.  What the hell?  So now, finally, 88 minutes into the movie...the pig shows up!!!

I like the basic idea for PIG HUNT, it could easily be turned into an awesome action-packed and crazy story, but as it is, it cannot even be considered a horror movie, it's just a bunch of annoying dorks walking around the woods talking about nothing, then a pig shows up at the end.  Whoopee!  Skip it with a vengeance.
