A vicious wild boar terrorizes the Australian outback. The first victim is a small child who is killed. The child’s granddad is brought to trial for killing the child but acquitted. The next victim is an American TV-journalist. Her husband Carl gets there and starts to search for the truth. The local inhabitants won’t really help him, but he is joined by a hunter and a female farmer to find the beast.

A giant BORE, more like

This distinctly average Australian horror film about a giant boar is indeed a gigantic bore. The trouble with this film is that there’s nothing new in it; all we see are tired clichés (the disappearance of the main character reeks of PSYCHO) played out over and over again. The main hero, Carl, is a handsome face but not particularly likable; the scientist woman set up as a heroine has little to do. The only believable character is the old man, Jake.

The two hicks are the detestable kind of weirdos which seem to inhabit every Australian horror/sci-fi (DEATH WARMED UP for example). The final scene in the slaughterhouse is dull; how many scenes in action films take place in abandoned factories? The boar itself is hardly ever seen; all we get is a close-up of the snout and some occasional shots of a still creature. When we do see the creature it looks like it was made of bin liners, fur, and cardboard. Highly forgettable, in my opinion, and not worth the money I spent on it. I once read a really good novel about a giant boar by Graham Masterton…

Terror feature with a giant beast terrorizing Australian people

This Aussie horror picture talks about a journalist from N.Y. goes to Australian little village called Gamulla to investigate massacre over kangaroos and animals. Then, there appears one giant pig that is terrorizing the villagers and the countryside. Later comes her husband(Gregory Harrison), he along with an old man(Bill Kerr) confront against two nasties brothers and the large wild boar.

Gregory Harrison, Bill Kerr and Chris Haywood offer cool performances on a cast mostly unknown. Powerhouse special effects light up the screen in this story of a giant pig from the depths of the Outback that causes massive destruction along the Australian landscape. A little boring at times, but the brilliantly achieved effects and Aussie outdoors make this a must-see film even on the small screen, and don’t miss the astounding attacks by the giant wild boar. Glamorous and luxurious cinematography with surrealist scenario and visually striking images when the starring wandering along desert . The magnificent cameraman is Dean Semler who’ll do Hollywood career. The eerie music heightens the tension to underscore the boar’s presence and scare the audience right out of their seats. The motion picture is well directed by Russell Mulcahy, in his feature debut. He gained fame as video clips director for Duran Duran, Elton John, Bonnie Tyler, among others. After he directed hits, as ‘Highlander and Highlander II, the Quickening, ‘Ricochet’, ‘The shadow’ and ‘Tale of mummy’ and TV films, such as ‘Mysterious island’ and ‘Curse of king Tut’s tomb’, his last success for cinema is ‘Resident Evil: Extinction’.

Good one

It is a cross between Mad Max, Deliverance and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Pause and zoom for a moment and the chick’s b-cups also make an appearance. By the way, the dude loses a short-haired blondie and gain a younger one with better hair. He comes out the winner.
