Jake Cullen (Bill Kerr) watches a rhino-sized Razorback kill his grandson. Two years pass, Beth Winters (Judy Morris) investigates a factory that kills wildlife. The Baker brothers attack her in the night, but the "Moby Dick" boar scares them away and murders (the pig's tusk pierces her groin) Betty. Queue her fiancee Carl (Gregory Harrison) to save the day.
Tasteless first act manages to improve in second and third act, but loses all credibility. Over-stylized film sustains strong atmosphere and unusual lighting. The best sequence consists of Carl hallucinating through the desert.
Other than that, "Razorback" is ludicrous, offensive, clumsy, and a dumb Australian exploitation film. I feel no urgency for the characters because when anybody speaks I wish they would of stayed quiet. The Baker brothers make continuous snorting and goat noises. Carl is on the verge of being catatonic. Jake, the only character with motivation, needs a better movie. The fast paced editing creates moments of unintentional laughter (such as the scene when Jake shoots the Razorback). Nobody escapes unscathed in this film.
