Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
pnkstr In my humble opinion this movie is worth a look. It does have some flaws however. Some of the characters are too ridiculous to be believable. I didn't love the ending at all. Some characters could of been developed a bit more. I did however like the imagery in this movie. Overall it wasn't to bad if you can look past the flaws.
milosprole9 I just watched Australian film called Razorback (1984) and I was 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.
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) A lot of horror movies dealing with animals were getting big all the times. Rather than a shark, dogs, cats, or other vicious wildlife that can endanger man. In Australia, a rabid kangaroo won't do. You get, "Razorback"! This pig can make other wild pigs, look tame. This porcine terror is a juggernaut of the Outback. It was a very rare mutant pig that can seemingly not easily be killed. This terrible pig runs through the yard at night running through a house, and carrying off the old man's grandson he just put to bed. Though he was cleared of his grandson's death, he was left a broken and angry man. Two years later, a reporter from New York comes to the Outback to do an expose on wildlife being used as dog food. She encounter two deranged locals. Gets attacked by them, but later met her end by the monster pig. The husband looks for answers. He meets the past victim, and gets into action. Gregory Harrison does a great job in his role. He's known for playing Gonzo on "Trapper John, M.D." And after this movie, what makes you think about a remake, Hmmm? This movie was "porky", and I don't mean the raunchy comedy! There's plenty of cheese factor to it, but it's interesting to watch. 2 out of 5 stars
bebop63-1 Went to borrow the DVD because the 20 to 1 TV show episode featuring Top 20 Movie Monsters rated the Razorback #11 on the list - beating Jaws (a mere #18) and King Kong (#20!). Bunged the disc in the DVD player expecting a nice horror flick to enjoy on a rainy night - big letdown! The big pig appears only in fleeting moments throughout the film and moves too slowly for a monster hellbent on consuming every human that gets in its path. It wasn't scary enough to send hairs standing on end, the whacko duo Dicko and Benny should've featured in the title role instead (Razorheads?). Even if the production was done on a limited budget, they could've been more realistic in depicting a pig in its natural environment. Also an explanation of how one particular porcine could grow to abnormally large size while the rest of the herd remained within normal proportions is in order.Don't waste money buying the DVD.
