The police presume Beth has fallen down a mine shaft, however Jake, a local veteran hunter, recognises the signs - the Razorback that took his infant grandson has returned to bring a new breed of terror.

Cult Movie Thrills - Razorback review by griggs
Razorback is a solid slice of Aussie creature-feature fun, featuring a gigantic killer boar terrorising people in the dusty outback. It captures that '80s fascination with rugged Australian charm—think Crocodile Dundee mania and Saturday night TV staple The Flying Doctors. Visually, it's surprisingly stylish, with neon-lit outback shots and an ace synth soundtrack. It certainly didn't trouble any awards juries, but it's genuinely entertaining if you're after some cult movie thrills. A proper guilty pleasure.

Disapointing - Razorback review by mK
Australia has made some great horror, but this is’nt one of them. The giant razorback is rarely seen. There are some interesting/ scary outback characters and well photographed scenery but overall I would’nt recommend it.
