Best movie of this year hands down!

Undescribable Perfection

Best movie ever!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

"Razorback" is a brutal, strikingly filmed, Australian entry in the 'natural horror' canon that features an immense razorback boar terrorizing the outback. The film opens with the titular creature tearing though the home of Jake Cullen (Bill Kerr) and carrying off his grandson. No one believes Cullen, but with insufficient evidence to prove that he killed the child, he is released and begins a vendetta against the wild pigs. Later, while searching for his wife (an American animal-rights activist that disappeared while investigating kangaroo hunting), Carl Winter (Gregory Harrison) comes face to face with the tusked monster. The film is not for the faint-hearted: there are a number of scenes in a dilapidated pet-food factory full of rats and kangaroo corpses that is run by two extremely loathsome characters, a number of grotesque killings, lots of scenes of mud, blood and decay, and endless death motifs. The film has a similar aesthetic to 1981's "Mad Max 2" (Dean Semler was cinematographer on both films), including bizarre characters, mechano-punk vehicles, and glorious shots of the stark but beautiful Australian desert. There is also an excellent surreal dream sequence as a delusional and hallucinating Carl, abandoned to die in the desert, struggles to stay alive. Not to everyone's taste but, all in all, an entertainingly grim horror yarn with a solid (if simple) story, a good script, great visuals, and a few surprises.

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.

Razorback is one of my all time favourite Ozploitation films. It truly is an underrated gem with great cinematography, atmosphere and a fantastic score by lead member of Icehouse himself, Iva Davies. The cast and acting is pretty solid. Some argue the villainous characters were annoying, however, I found them quite unnerving and were arguably just as if not more terrifying then the Razorback itself.Russell Mulcahy did a splendid job directing wise and went onto direct one of the best fantasy films of the 1980's, Highlander!The filmmakers use the Jaws effect in that you only see bits and pieces of the Razorback. At times you can tell they only used the creature's head with only a few full body shots and some might find that disappointing. However the film mainly focuses on suspense and the fear of the unknown which is more interesting than showing off a fake looking puppet in my opinion.The film also has a dream-like artsy style at times, especially with its bizarre and surreal dream sequence. While some may argue it detracts from the story, I personally love the tone since it gives the film an intrinsic style. The style also makes the film more memorable then 'that movie with the killer pig'. I own the regular Blu-ray with a detailed documentary and missing gore shots that were cut from the film to gain a lower rating. I would highly recommend watching the film on Blu-ray since the picture quality is stellar and the special features are also quite good.I'm glad Razorback still has a cult following since it's definitely a film worth talking about. If you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it, especially if you love creature features.
