Razorback (1984)
7/10
Moby Dick Should Have Been So Gritty!
20 July 2023
"Razorback" is a rather naughty bi' o' crumpet, speaking film-wise, mate. It's grotesque and disturbing and bizarre and... well, it's just freaking AWESOME!

After you watch this film, you will never forget it. That, I promise.

So, what is this film? It's "Moby Dick" meets Spielberg's "Duel" meets "Road Warrior" all blended onto a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" canvas. Yeah, that's it.

The thing about this film is its choice of settings, direction and cinematography. All topped by a rogue's gallery of gruesome antagonistic characters that work in stark contrast to the polished protaganists (mostly Mr. Harrison). It's a beautiful film the way a raging apocalypse can be beautiful.

For sure you'll want to watch, but a word of caution... don't eat a big meal beforehand!
