Watch Razorback For Free

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

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.

This distinctly average Australian horror film about a giant boar is indeed a gigantic bore. The trouble with this film is that there's nothing new in it; all we see are tired clichés (the disappearance of the main character reeks of PSYCHO) played out over and over again. The main hero, Carl, is a handsome face but not particularly likable; the scientist woman set up as a heroine has little to do. The only believable character is the old man, Jake.The two hicks are the detestable kind of weirdos which seem to inhabit every Australian horror/sci-fi (DEATH WARMED UP for example). The final scene in the slaughterhouse is dull; how many scenes in action films take place in abandoned factories? The boar itself is hardly ever seen; all we get is a close-up of the snout and some occasional shots of a still creature. When we do see the creature it looks like it was made of bin liners, fur, and cardboard. Highly forgettable, in my opinion, and not worth the money I spent on it. I once read a really good novel about a giant boar by Graham Masterton...

Based on the novel by Peter Brennan, and scripted by the then prolific Everett De Roche, the horror movie "Razorback" works well in terms of shocks yet also has an undeniable sense of humour to it as well. It doesn't always take itself too seriously, which is nice. Its single most fascinating and effective aspect is the way it shows off the Outback landscape, showing it as both a beautiful and scary place.The story proper kicks off when Beth Winters (Judy Morris), an animal rights activist / reporter, travels to the Outback to cover a story about kangaroo slaughter. Instead she meets and becomes a meal for an enormous, ferocious wild boar - a boar that had already snacked on an infant and destroyed a house in the pre-credits sequence. Beths' husband Carl (TV veteran Gregory Harrison) goes to Australia himself to find out what had happened and ends up having to help the locals vanquish the beast.As directed by Russell Mulcahy, who went on to helm "Highlander", "Razorback" is at its best when basking in the atmosphere inherent to this wilderness. When Carl is abandoned by trouble making jerks the Baker brothers (Chris Haywood, David Argue), and has to make a trek across the countryside, there are some truly great and surreal moments. The cinematography by Dean Semler, who had shot "The Road Warrior", and who went on to tremendous success in Hollywood, is truly impressive. Location work is excellent, as well, and Iva Davies' music is perfect accompaniment to the action. The makeup effects and rampaging razorback are the work of Bob McCarron (whose other credits include "The Road Warrior", "Howling III", "Dead Alive", and "The Matrix") and crew. This is an enjoyably grisly and visceral movie and doesn't skimp on thrills.The acting is solid - Harrison is fine as an average guy & unlikely sort of hero, the lovely and appealing Arkie Whiteley, who sadly died way too young, is a joy as female lead Sarah, Bill Kerr solidly convincing as the vengeance minded old boar hunter, and Haywood and Argue appropriately repulsive as the human antagonists.Overall, this is a good deal of fun that puts its own spin on the entire "nature strikes back" sub genre that was especially popular in the '70s after the success of "Jaws". For those who may scoff at the thought of a giant killer pig movie, it's more entertaining than one might think and as said is not playing everything 100% straight faced anyway. Horror fans are advised to give it a shot.Seven out of 10.

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.
