RAZORBACK

Shout Factory | 1984 | 95 min | Not Rated
Directed by Russell Mulcahy

Somewhere in the Australian Outback, there is a creature that can rip a man in half and destroy a house in seconds: Razorback, a giant freak of nature that’s nine-hundred pounds of tusk and muscle which terrorizes an isolated community as violent and primitive as itself. This astonishing debut from director Russell Mulcahy (Highlander) is a ferociously entertaining, adrenaline-pumping thriller that was beautifully shot by Academy Award®-winning* director of photography Dean Semler (The Road Warrior) and imbued with stunning special make-up effects by Bob McCarron (The Matrix). Razorback is an Ozploitation classic that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

As the night goes on, chaos ensues … and Kevin finds that he’s the only one who can take charge and maintain order.
