Razorback
A giant boar embarks on a killing spree in the outback and kills an animal rights activist in the process. Unaware that the killer might be a monstrous abomination of nature, the victim's husband travels from America to discover the truth.

Razorback is Australia's legendary instalment in the 'Nature Goes Nuts' horror genre. Academy Award-winning cinematographer Dean Semler paints a weird and desolate landscape, adding another layer to this infamous and rarely-screened nugget.

Screens with director George Miller's first short film Violence in the Cinema Part 1 (12 mins, Australia, 1971, 35mm. Courtesy: NFSA and Kennedy Miller).
