Roar
A conservationist lives out in the wilds of Africa with what can only be described as a swarm of lions. While he's away his family turn up and are chased by the lions. After about 60 minutes or so of terror they learn to love the creatures..... and that's it really.
The plot is wafer thin, perhaps due to the chaotic nature of the shoot. The editing is choppy and clumsy at best but its well photographed. The real 'charm' of the film is watching actors like Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffiths running in very real terror from all the big cats running loose on set. I always thought Australian and Chinese stuntmen had balls but this really takes the cake, its almost a visual embodiment of reckless endangerment from beginning to end. If the thought of spending 90 minutes watching terrified, piss-stained actors legging it from lions, tigers, cheetahs and even a few enraged elephants sounds like a good time then pick this up.
