From films I've seen there are two types of folks that inhabit the Australian outback. One is the weathered, no-nonsense types that live life stoicly and have hearts of gold. The others are flat-out inbred wackos that go way over the top in all that they do (for reference try "Body Melt"). I prefer the wackos, personally, probably the equivalent of isolated hill-folk in this here country. Anyway, this is a decent enough film despite the premise that there's a giant hog on the loose, which sounds pretty silly but is pulled off well enough to be entertaining and yes, a bit suspenseful & eerie at times. A reporter/animal activist goes to the outback to tell the world about the massive kangaroo slaughters going on, to make dogfood. She runs afoul of the aforementioned wackos that just happen to work at this lovely dog food factory, and is terrorized, but that's not how she meets her end. Along comes her hubby, from New York, to find out what happened to her and then the fun ensues as he attempts to hang with the wackos, in an attempt to find his wife. Overall the effects are decent enough, and it's a good story, fun to watch, for the most part. It does venture into dumbness a couple times but not far enough to make it unwatchable. Worth seeing and entertaining.
