Good thriller

It's not that scary with an abrupt ending and features some really annoying characters but Razorback is still overall a good thriller. Gregory Harrison and Bill Kerr are both great. There's a few effectively suspenseful scenes and it's surprisingly extremely well filmed with some really gorgeous shots. There are some laughably bad moments and the music by Iva Davies is really good.

Good and solid movie, with some breathtaking photography

I liked the fast pace of this movie, and the grim atmosphere, greatly enhanced by the stunning photography: the world down under reduced to it's most barren and desolate face, soaked in weird colors and ghastly mists that seem to hide all kinds of unearthly terrors.

The acting is a bit uneven, the ladies are just adequate, the two sinister brothers are tremendous and the leading male (Gregory Harrison) is like a math teacher turned into a hero despite himself. But somehow Harrison pulls it of, he actually has enough charisma to stay believable unto the orgiastic and a bit over-the-hill ending, which is an achievement in it's own right.

On my DVD there was a bonus feature with a very interesting audio-interview with Harrison, who gave some fascinating insights on the making-of and on his becoming involved in the project, as well as on his own career. But why on earth not a VIDEO-interview, or an actual comment-track along with (parts of) the movie, now one has to listen for half an hour to a voice while watching an empty screen, that seemed like such a waste!! I would have liked to see what Harrison looked like nowadays (he sure was good-looking back in 1984, and I bet he still is!).

Anyway, in this movie he did a great job, very physical indeed, for instance the whole section of him wandering endlessly through a sun-baked wasteland on bare feet, or falling out off a wind-mill into shallow water while (real) razorbacks crowded in on him, or personally fighting the monster on some kind of assembly-belt. According to his own words he suffered multiple minor injuries during the shooting and I can easily believe that. When in the end he has destroyed the beast and he stands up victoriously soaked in blood, it must have felt like a victory to himself too.

And what about the ferocious monster, the giant razorback?? Well, as long as it stays in the distance, or stampedes through the image so that the camera hardly catches up with it, it's convincing enough: big and ugly and menacing. But when at last the close-ups can't be avoided anymore, it quickly looses it's credibility, as in so many pre-CGI movies, it then comes mainly down to a big hairy flip-flapping jaw and rolling eyes. To me that diminished a bit the supposed horror of the otherwise breathtaking climax.

All in all this movie is great entertainment, with many very memorable scenes. I rank it 8 out of 10.

A giant BORE, more like

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...
