Synopsis

New Yorker Carl Winters heads to Gamulla in the Australian Outback upon news that his wife Beth Winters has gone missing. Beth was there on behalf of the World Animal League, an activist group, doing a story on the slaughter of kangaroos and wallabies to near extinction, they being processed into cheap pet food. Her presence did not sit well with many locals in the business.

While two meat processing workers, brothers Benny and Dicko Baker, were partly responsible for what eventually befell Beth, Carl has his focus divided upon arrival in meeting Jake Cullen and and subsequently Sarah Cameron, and eventually facing first hand with what they deal. Sarah has a grant to tag and thus follow the local wild boar population, while Jake, two years ago, was acquitted in the disappearance of his grandson due to insufficient evidence.

Jake's story, incredulous to many, is that his grandson was carried off and assumed killed by a giant murderous razorback, a wild boar, giant in being the size of a rhinoceros. Since, Jake has made it his sole mission to find and kill that razorback. While rumors abound that Beth died in an accidental fall down a mine shaft, Jake believes that the razorback may have killed her as well.

Carl's attention remains divided in believing the Dicko brothers were also responsible in some way for what happened to Beth, he after the brothers while assisting Jake and Sarah in what may be a kill or be killed situation with the razorback.

Another drawback of the Razorback soundtrack was its repetitive nature. The same musical motifs and themes were used repeatedly throughout the film, making it feel monotonous and uninspired. This lack of variety in the music detracted from the overall viewing experience, as it failed to enhance the different moods and atmospheres of the scenes.
