Original Title:
Razorback
The razorback in question is a bullet-proof killer pig shredding up the locals of an outback town dominated by a sinister kangaroo meat-cannery. Enter Gregory Harrison's eco-warrior and bacon is served...
As you'd expect from a director graduated who from Duran Duran videos, Russell Mulcahy overloads on the strobes, filters and eye-dart edits like they're going out of fashion. Which, er, they have. The pig's pure prop and the acting tinny, but the yuppie-nightmare style is eerie and effective.
The oddball nightmare style is effective but the prop pig and under par acting let the film down.
