This was on TCM last night. It falls into the same trap as other creature features with dumb characters but man, the visuals and scenery is gorgeous. It's like if George Miller directed this or something;I know it was the Highlander guy. I forget his name. Lots of weird imagery kept me interested when the plot started not making sense.

Watched it in last December. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed watching this movie. The opening scene is one of the most beautifully shot scenes in the 80's. The cinematography is all that truly remarkable and the editing is excellent. It's like Jaws, but with a giant killer pig. If they ever re-make to this movie, they will obviously use a CGI wild boar. In the fact that model razorback was built at a cost of $250 thousand and is seen for only a few minutes, but the movie still made me interesting watching to the end. This was pretty awesome Australian film and great entertainment with some breathtaking photography. I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10.

It's too bad Mulcahy (found it!) suffered a career decline after The Shadow (1994) which I thought better than its reputation but whatever, what do I know. He had a great eye for visuals.

There were some great Aussie horror films getting released around that time and "Razorback" was one the front runners. The imagery and overall feel are what really sets this one apart from the norm.

TCM showed a giant killer pig movie, and I missed it? Aww, crap!    It's worth a look. Much of the movie consists of scenes like this. For context, he's dehydrated and hallucinating. |
