Info

The front row ticket to an anarchistic rampage of death and destruction. First turned on during a home invasion, the gang's video camera never lets up as they take on the city and become our anti-heros by targeting all those we'd love to see get punished - corrupt politicians, filthy drug dealers, arrogant sports stars... and parking inspectors! Now they're wanted for murder, kidnapping, arson, assault, armed robbery, burglary... And they've got it all on video.

Razor Eaters Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Navajas The titular Razor Eaters are a gang of Australian hooligans who decide to terrorize civilization and film their exploits, loosely based on a similar gang that rampaged through Melbourne. Their crimes are cruel and brutal. They kill without mercy. They burn people alive. And they even have official t-shirts.Perhaps half of the movie focuses on the Razor Eaters, and the other half follows the hardened cop, Detective Danny Berdan (Paul Moder), who is trying to track them down. As with Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers, both the detective and the nation itself follows the activities of the gang through the video tapes they leave behind. While many are terrified of the gang, others support their activities, in part because many of their crimes are committed against other criminals, although they use a very broad definition of the term criminal to include people they just don't like. For example, they promise to target drug dealers, but end up killing people for driving like idiots and having loud car stereos. They've also got issues against the media and those who create it, but by the end of the movie it becomes apparent that they are very much enjoying being a part of that media.It should be noted that, while the actual segments that were filmed by the gang have a documentary feel to them (with the camera moving around all over the place), most of the movie is not shot this way. Personally, I think this gives the movie a more "realistic", true-to-life feel without rendering the entire film unwatchable.I bought this movie as part of a four-movie set out of the bargain bin at a local department store, along with two other independent movies of the 2000's (and, for some reason, Night of the Living Dead, a movie that gets tacked on to just about any "horror" collection as filler). This is probably the best of the set. Honestly, I think it's worth watching for virtually everyone, but those fans of extreme cinema living down under should definitely consider checking it out.
ironshadowknot Being an Australian it was really good to see a very powerful movie from Australia yes there has been some good ones like Romper Stomper, Looking for Alabrandi Mad Max and so on but this one is the most powerful Australian movie i have even seen the actors were so good everything looked so real and not fake it was very VERY well done after it had finished i just felt like i had just watched the Boondock Saints for the first time and i was stunned with amazement 10 out of 10 for me.So i don't Understand why people give this movie a hard time and funnily enough the people who do give it a hard time are not Australian lol why is that America had The Manson Family Australia has the Razor Eaters (Except it was based on a gang called the Hedge Burners)
paul moder If any fans want to see 4 hours of extra features, buy the UK disc in 5.1 Surround. Includes 1 hour 'Making of' documentary, 30 deleted scenes, Music video, Fletcher's 'behind the scenes' video journal, Trailers and 'A look at FX'. The UK version will soon be re-released through ILC entertainment with the new kick ass Australian designed cover early next year as well as the US ( who will also be releasing the Special Edition version)Both these countries are planning on a theatrical release, so keep your eyes open for screenings. We will be in attendance for these. For those of you seeking information on the real gang that inspired the film, The Hedge Burners rampaged their way through Melbourne during the mid eighties led by Mr Gregory A (name suppressed) AKA 'Lucifer' We spoke to the police officer who apprehended them. They were convicted on the videos they shot of their arson and vandalism attacks. Lucifer was gaoled for five years as a result. I contacted the gang but they declined to be interviewed, Scary dudes.Paul Moder Producer
fertilecelluloid Despite my suspicions that superheidi's comments (above) are company PR and more than a little over-the-top, RAZOR EATERS is superior film-making with a depth and focus rare for low budgeters.Paul Moder (SENSITIVE NEW AGE KILLER) plays a cop on the trail of urban terrorists who are committing acts of random violence and vandalism. They have a point, of course, and we discover what that is as the movie progresses.The performances are very solid, the writing is tight, and the direction is clear and subtly stylish.Director Shannon Young uses all the cinematic tricks to milk the most from his action scenes and the violence is tense and convincing.Editing is tight and star Moder turns in a nuanced, convincing performance.A solid achievement.
