Chaw Hangul RRChau MRChau is a 2009 South Korean film about a mutant killer pig wreaking havoc on a small mountain town, and the ragtag team of five who set out to stop the beast. The feature subverts the monster genre into a witty, suspenseful black comedy mixed with horror, adventure, and a healthy dose of camp.
