Razorback
An Ozsploitation film about a killer razorback (a boar). It wasnt quite the crazy Mad Max meets moster movie I was expecting. A more apt description might be Jaws in the out back. The film builds slowly, and relies heavily on atmosphere. The massive razorback doesnt look overly impressive but the film makers have kept shots of it to a miniumum sensibly deciding less is more when it comes to their monster.
The real stand out part of Razorback is the cinematograpy. All shots are beautifully framed and lit, especially the night scenes. The couple of surreal scenes, one a dream and the other, possibly a mirrage, fit really well into the film as well.
I'm not sure it's for everyone but I enjoyed Razorback
