Down Under Boar

 

 (moviesrankings.com)

RAZORBACK-1984-In Australia a professional kangaroo shooter is accused of murdering his grandson but is released for lack of evidence. It's actually a giant mutated razorback boar. 2 years later an American reporter (Judy Morris) goes there to investigate the slaughter of kangaroos. Some inbreeding local trash beat her up and almost rape her. She gets away from them but is killed by the wild hog. 

Her husband Carl Winters (US TV actor Gregory Harrison) goes to investigate. After being abandoned in the desert, he wanders around, hallucinates and sees the giant boar. He's rescued by a woman (Arkie McWhiteley; also in ROAD WARRIOR (1981)) who's friends with the grandpa. Eventually after getting revenge on the two assholes, Winters somehow lures the monster piggies on to a conveyor belt where rotating knives slaughter them. 

Director Russell Mulcahy made this weird but mundane horror film while in the midst of directing Elton John music videos.

Thanks for reading!
