  Creature feature films are always a good bet when it comes to deliver terrific mindless entertainment. Razorback is one of the best films in the genre. I've seen my fair share of films in this genre, and this is one of the most memorable pictures in the genre. There have been plenty of great movies in the nature gone wild genre; many of them bring original thrilling ideas to the screen. Razorback is a stellar film in the genre, and there are some truly chilling scenes before all the carnage caused by the razorback itself. There are some pretty good performances here and director Russell Mulcahy crafts a solid horror picture that steadily builds up the fear in the viewer. Mulcahy would later direct the cult hit Highlander, but Razorback is one of his standout films. This is a well crafted film that is sure to please genre fans. In terms of killer creature films, Razorback is a stunning film that definitely warrants a view from viewers that enjoy films such as Jaws, Piranha, Alligator and countless others. The film is aided by terrific atmosphere, which add to the enjoyment and tense experience of the picture. In the nature gone wild genre, there have been many great films, but Razorback is exceptional. Director Russell Mulcahy opts to direct a more serious film that we've previously seen in this genre, and gives us a movie that generates the tension, with good performances and a memorable creature that creates the carnage. This is one of the darker films I've seen in the genre, and in turn is among the finest as well. There are plenty of bone chilling moments to be had with this one, and Razorback is one of the most surprising Aussie films of the 1980's. Razorback is a great film with a truly unique villain, a giant razorback wild boar. That may sound a tad silly, but there's enough serious material at work on-screen to make this one a standout horror feature. Definitely worth checking out if you love nature gone wild horror films.

  Razorback starts off rather grizzly. Killing off a child and thus cementing it's intentions. Razorback isn't gonna take any prisoners. Some years later, a female journalist shows up and through a surprising series of events, her fiancé soon shows up. Razorback is Jaws with a pig, but with a few novel twists. The outback setting is suitably dry and dead and very lonely. There was one character I could not stand. He ruined the film for me, and went from goonish comic relief to kneecap hacker. There was no consistency in the writing of this character or the acting and I genuinely hated every second he was on. Edit him out and this could have been really great.

  The "Mad Max" feel of the outback adds to the isolation and vulnerability of the main characters as they hunt the dreaded "razorback" before it finds them.

  The only reason I saw this was that a movie website ranked it as one of the best Australian horror movies. Considering Rogue was not on the list I should have known better. Razorback is a basic over-sized creature feature with a typical low-budget cinema quality screenplay and weak acting. Some people say the pig itself is impressive looking. That might be true but I wouldn't know because the total time it spends on screen wouldn't even equal 90 seconds. One interesting and well done dream sequence is the only real highlight here. The director went on to make Highlander so he obviously has something to bring to the table but this is not a film I'd want on my resume. Not worth your time at all, I've seen a few made for TV films that were better.

  A pretty amusing and entertaining "animal invasion" horror movie, ala Jaws, but taking place in the Austrailian Outback and dealing with an oversized mutant hog. Opening scene, a grandfather loses his grandchild to the beast. He is put on trial as nobody believes his story of an oversized Razorback Hog, but ultimately his charges are dropped due to lack of sufficient evidence that he was responsible. A few years later an American journalist goes to the outback to do a story on the plight of Kangaroos in the area. However she soons runs into the ghastly hog and meets an unfortunate fate, but not before having a run in with two horny hillbillies. This brings the womans husband to the outback to find out what went wrong. Eventually he has a run in with the beast as well, thus leading to the movies final showdown. This was actually the second time I had seen this and I think I enjoyed it a little more the first time, where I saw it on TV at a friends house over beers and spliffs. In the end it still wasn't very memorbale, but a lot more entertaining that time around. I think the movie suffers due to unoriginality and Austrailians seeming inability to take anything seriously. That being said this is still amusing, I just don't think it's anything overly exceptional. A good movie to watch with friends over beers I suppose, but nothing really special either. Still worth a watch for fans of 80's camp horror and horror comedies.

  This is such a nasty early eighties aussie flick with some damn fine pigs......very tense.

  It's just crazy bad. I saw this on "MonsterVision with Joe Bob (Briggs?)" That show was so funny, I almost forgot about it.
