Rhino

About This Movie

Rhino (1988) is a curious blend of action and thriller that doesn’t shy away from its wild premise. You’ve got poachers, sure, but it escalates into something almost surreal with the human butchering angle. The atmosphere is gritty, with a certain rawness that feels like it’s capturing the desperation of the characters. Deon Stewardson's performance stands out, bringing a gritty realism that contrasts against the absurdity of the plot. The pacing is frenetic, but it lingers just enough to let moments sink in, like that climactic showdown at the taxidermists workshop – it’s where practical effects shine. And let’s be honest, impaling a villain on a rhino horn is a kind of unique that sticks with you. Not your typical thriller fare, that's for sure.

Interesting take on environmental themes.Unique practical effects for its time.The ending is both shocking and memorable.
