Giant monster pig on a rampage. Sign us right the hell up.

Recently picked up for distribution by Universal Pictures Australia, director Chris Sun’s Boar should be getting a release date any day now; in the meantime, we wanted to share some first look photos of the insanely cool looking beast at the center of it.

According to Sun, the giant boar will be brought to the screen using “80-85% practical FX and 15-20% VFX,” with the practical version of the monster measuring an incredible 14-feet long and 8-feet tall. CGI is only being utilized to “help him move and look as realistic as possible.”

Sun explains further, “When designing the beast for Boar I wanted to make him look as evil as possible, still have some normal wild pig elements to him – but lets be honest this is MOVIE LAND and we are making a horror film about a giant killer pig, so it was important we made him look terrifying for you creature feature fans out there.”

Check out an early look at Boar‘s hulking beast below!

Set in outback Australia…

Lurking within this picturesque setting is a dark and terrifying threat – a beast of staggering size with an uncontrollable desire for blood and destruction. Driven by its insatiable appetite for carnage, it defends its territory with brutal force and savagely takes on any who get in its way.

The cast includes Wolf Creek‘s John Jarratt, Melissa Tkautz, Hugh Sheridan, Nathan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road), Bill Moseley (Devil’s Rejects, House of 1,000 Corpses), Ernie Dingo, Simone Buchanan, Roger Ward, Steve Bisely, Ricci Guarnaccio and Emily Williams.

A job at a marijuana farm turns nightmarish in director Ariel Vida’s Trim Season, and Blue Harbor Entertainment has released the trailer just in time for 4/20 this weekend.

Trim Season will open in theaters and on demand June 7, 2024.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker and production designer Ariel Vida, Trim Season stars Bethlehem Million (Sick, “And Just Like That…”) as Emma, an adrift, jobless, 20-something seeking purpose. Along with a group of young people from Los Angeles, she drives up the coast to make quick cash trimming marijuana on a secluded farm in Northern California.

“Cut off from the rest of the world, they soon realize that Mona (Jane Badler) – the seemingly amiable owner of the estate – is harboring secrets darker than any of them could imagine. It becomes a race against time for Emma and her friends to escape the dense woods with their lives.”

The cast also includes “Scream” and Hell Fest‘s Bex Taylor-Klaus, Starry Eyes, “Midnight Mass” and Doctor Sleep‘s Alex Essoe, Ally Ioannides (Synchronic), Cory Hart (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Ryan Donowho, Marc Senter and Juliette Kenn De Balinthazy.

Michelle Swope wrote in her review that Trim Season is “a suspenseful, uniquely crafted story highlighting pain and sacrifice that should spark some powerful conversation around women and gender. Mesmerizing performances, an innovative story, beautiful stylistic choices, and a little bit of witchy weed make Trim Season a must-see horror film.”

Aaron B. Koontz of Paper Street Pictures and Sean E. DeMott of Execution Style Entertainment produced. Paul Holbrook of Hlbrk Ent. produces in addition to Badler on behalf of MeJane Productions. Leal Naim executive produces while Cameron Burns co-produces.
