This film has weathered amazingly, looking visually excellent on DVD despite the movie being released in 1984. When a crusading animal rights journalist goes to Australia to film a report on Kangaroo hunting, she winds up getting on the wrong side of the locals, and disappearing in an isolated backwater town in the Outback. Her husband flies in to find her, and it's not long before he's run across a trail of suspicious circumstances and teamed up with a bitter, 'razorback' hating hunter and his friend who have a bizarre theory about what happened to his wife.
With its tone set by a brutal mystery killing at the start, this is an Aussie horror-thriller with a very distinctive style. For starters, there's plenty of pig in it. The titular 'Razorback' is a massive, killer wild boar with a very nasty temper and a hunger for human flesh. Fast, heavy, brutally strong and hugely intimidating, it's a brilliant villain, and we get to see a lot of tantalising half-glimpses of it. Mulcahy is clever with his camera placement - always letting us catch just enough of a view to be impressed, but just quickly or obliquely enough to keep us wanting more. But he's also not daft. Knowing that this would just be a 'Jaws' knock off if it were just the pig, he throws in some appalling scumbag local brothers, the most distinctive being an outstandingly twisted and shock-haired lunatic played by David Argue. The film has a nasty edge in places, unafraid to go for bitter cruelty and reinforce the harshness of its characters against the desolate harshness of their outback middle-of-nowhere surroundings. Mulcahy's filming is beautiful as well, the film a lush and surprising collection of very striking images and colours in between the more ordinary scenes. The special effects have really stood the test of time as well.

There is so many horror movies around, and so many of them are bad, that it is very hard to find something that is really worth watching. Well, this is one of the few that made the list.

The main appeal of this movie is its originality - just think, what can be more terrifying for a human being that being eaten alive? Well, it is being eaten alive by a form of life that we consider mostly harmless, but low and disgusting...

Another big asset is the whole visual aspect of the movie, really well polished by Russel Mulcahy. There is something really unusual and unsettling in the way this movie shows some banal things, like a sunset in the desert or some abandoned farm.

All in all it is a rare original and smart horror movie - if you are into this kind of things, go and get it.

From its atmospheric start, establishing the loneliness, isolation, and vast beauty of the Australian Outback, director Russell Mulcahy grapples to make sense of the competing images and themes which recur in this potentially excellent horror movie. It's not a bad film, far from it, but you know it could have been so much better.
The wonderful Bill Kerr plays an Outback hunter, Jake Cullen, whose grandchild is carried off by a giant razorback ... a sort of angst-ridden wild boar with attitude and very bad breath. Partly inspired by the dingo and the disappearing baby case, Mulcahy never adequately resolves this aspect, leaving it as background. Instead, he introduces an American investigative journalist and animal rights campaigner, come to Australia to investigate the widespread slaughter of kangaroos for pet food. When she meets a grizzly, if rather coy end, her husband appears trying to track down his errant wife. The animal rights / eco-warrior themes and allusions, like the disappearing grandchild, now become pretty much redundant.
The husband, instead, enters a "Texas Chainsaw" canning factory and befriends, then alienates the crazies who run it. The film now becomes a chase, with hunted turning hunter, and a fresh love interest injected in the form of Arkie Whiteley. The plot gets just a little too cluttered, yet remains under-developed in places, so the tension and dynamic need to be jump-started from time to time.
Mulcahy (who had previously directed some exotic, not to mention surreal pop videos), gives us a hotch-potch of images while failing to adequately sustain plot or build character.

Saw it about ten years ago as after rummaging through boxes of VHS movies at a local video store that was shutting down, didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised by the good direction, decent enough script and acting by all. Also had great atmosphere and setting.
I definitely recommend this film for the midnight movie watching set.
