RAZORBACK (1984) 3/5.
An extremely average Australian horror film set in the outback, where a gigantic wild boar terrorizes a small Australian town, by attacking, killing and devouring people. The film was written by Everett De Roche and based on the novel by Peter Brennan. It was produced by Hal McElroy and directed by Russell Mulcahy.
It stars Gregory Harrison and a string of well-known Australian actors, including Arkie Whiteley, Bill Kerr, Chris Haywood, David Argue, Judy Morris, John Howard and John Ewart.
It’s a grim and gruesome affair that isn’t always convincing with its special effects, but it does still manage to spring one or two surprises - not all of them pleasant. I’d recommend that you don’t attempt to eat anything more filling than peanuts or popcorn while watching it.

6/10 for me. I liked that Mulcahy made it better in terms of visual style and atmosphere than he had any real reason to.

In the years since, I think some much better examples have emerged.
However, I'll always be grateful to Russell Mulcahy for the original HIGHLANDER.

5/10 - OK. Nothing much to say about it.

5/10 - OK. Nothing much to say about it. Where RAZORBACK is concerned, that's fair.
