Synopsis: A young police officer is transferred from Seoul to a small village in the countryside for duty when he jokingly checked the box to be deployed "anywhere." Arriving at the village, he encounters a bumbling police force who is working with a special detective to resolve some recent murders. As the bodies add up, it becomes clear that the gruesome deaths are attributed to a beast of an animal with a voracious appetite for human flesh. A famous hunter and his team are called in to track and destroy the man-eater. During their tracking expedition, they are confronted by a boar of massive size and strength, which they discover may be a result of experimentation during wartimes. Unprepared and unarmed for taking down the mutant creature, the group must disband as the hunters become the hunted.

Review: Chawz is a Korean feature that has everything from humor and drama to monsterous action!  The basic premise of this film almost reminds me of "Hot Fuzz" until the monster drama comes into play!  This film is infused with a lot of the humor that is typical in Korean cinema.  The action heats up as the team sent in to hunt the "monster" is discovered by the creature and hunted down!  This one was rather enjoyable, especially if you appreciate foreign film.
