Razorback

[Hunter Rider]

This is a great little Aussie horror movie,i saw it years ago on Cable late one night but just recently bought it on DVD,i watched it last night and found it as good as i'd remembered,the use of minimalistic music and sound coupled with great cinematography and lighting really create great tension and a sense of foreboding.
The Outback is stunningly captured,creating a frightening and desolate post apocalyptic-esque terrain for the film to take place on

The effects aren't great but the use of the above and some neat editing make for some really well shot scenes of the monsterous Razorback killing

The acting is poor-ish for the most part but not unwatchable and the end suffers from the fact they have to show to much of Razorback and since they only have a standing model for long shots a half body model they drag along on a trolley for the chase parts and a animatronic head model it really exposes the beast and no amount of editing can cover the cracks

Still this is a good exercise in how not showing much gore but creating tension with the simple tools of the trade can make for a fine horror movie

I highly recommend picking it up,it's cheap on DVD

Damn....didn't think anyone else had ever seen this movie. I haven't seen it in about 20 years or so.....so only remember bits (like the hallucination sequence in the desert...weird)....wasn't it one of Russel Mulculhy's forst films before Highlander?

Judging by the replies i think we are the only 2 that have seen it lol

It was the film that got him the Highlander job i believe

There's something about blasting the **** out of a Razorback that just brightens my whole day.

Remember that poor lady in the car? Imagine dying to Duran Duran, how horrible is that?

Holy crap, I hadn't seen this movie in like 500 years, then like 2 years ago it came on TV real late at night, but it was edited to hell and had commercials every 10 seconds. Now I want to buy it on DVD.

That just added to that poor womans terror,she seemed to want to get out and face the Razorback just to get away from the Duran Duran
