Review of Razorback

Razorback (1984)
5/10
Man-eating Pig - What A Ham
6 March 2010
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.
