Now this represents a real blast from the past for me, I originally caught this back in the eighties on VHS but haven't been able to see it again since moving on to DVD and more recently blu-ray as it doesn't appear to have been issued over here in either of those formats.
However, after finding out that the recent stateside blu-ray release is actually region free, I immediately ordered myself a copy and I'm pleased (& somewhat relieved) to report that this flick is still as good as I remembered it to be.
Very much a tribute to classic sci-fi/horror flavoured 'B movies', this really is a superb flick filled with some sharp & witty dialogue (a lot of which is delivered by the excellent Tom Atkins). Sure, some of the effects are a little bit ropey & admittedly watching it in HD doesn't help to hide some of the 'wire work' (quite the opposite in fact) but none of that gets in the way of this movie representing a great way to spend ninety or so minutes.
Razorback Rating = Superb
