Along with "The Evil Dead" the first horror film I have seen., 6 March 2006
8/10
Author: HumanoidOfFlesh from Chyby, Poland

A giant bloodthirsty razorback boar goes on a killing spree in the Australian outback,taking the life of an animal rights activist in the process.Her husband travels over from America to find out what happened to her,unaware that her killer was a monstrous pig."Razorback" is a pretty entertaining killer pig flick that delivers plenty of violence and excitement.The film is well-photographed and nicely edited and the electronic score provide some chills.Unfortunately there is a minimal amount of gore on display,however the most effective pig attack sequences are the ones in which the razorback isn't even seen,where it's basically up to editing and sound effects to do the trick.When the razorback does make an appearance on screen,it looks pretty awful and unconvincing.Overall, this piggy horror flick has the special place in my heart,because it was one of the very first horror flicks I have seen as a kid.That's why I give it a pretty generous 8 out of 10.
