Razorback (1984)
6/10
An Australian version of Jaws....sort of

Warning: Spoilers
This movie sets your expectations low (Jaws as a wild pig!?) and then does a good job of exceeding them. The titular monster only appears a few times (and like Jaws it's better not looked at too closely) but the rest of the film is the journey of a woman and her husband who venture into a weird world they're not prepared for with the monster only one of many dangers. The best scenes are the first and the last. The first attack is eerie and the last suspenseful. How the film puts its story out there is far more involving than you would expect. It's no masterpiece but if you want a strange fun monster flick, Razorback just might tick all your boxes.
