Roar (1981)

This may be the most psychotic movie ever made. There really is nothing like it. Noel Marshall writes, directs and stars as a guy who has lived in Africa for a year and is being met by his wife and kids, played by his wife Tippi Hedren and their kids, including Melanie Griffith. He isn't at the house when the family arrives so they try to get comfortable until he arrives. Then he arrives and everything is great. The end.
One other detail. Lots and lots of lions. They are everywhere. They are portrayed by lots and lots of real lions. Untrained ones. Attacking each other. Attacking people. Constantly.
So many cast members are delivering lines as quickly as possible. The performances are basically just people scared of the lions attacking, because they were really scared of lions attacking. One cast member is bloodied in the opening scene. It isn't faked. It sets a tone.
This isn't filmmaking. This is a $17 million home movie. It isn't entertainment. It's just bizarre. It's worth watching for awhile just for the total craziness of it. But by the end of the film, it is frankly just boring.
Grade: F
