Razor Eaters
Razor Eaters is a 2003 Australian crime thriller film written and directed by Shannon Young. The film had its world premiere onJuly 2003 at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival, and later had a DVD release in July 2006. It follows an anarchist street gang based on the reallife HedgeBurners who terrorize those whom they believe deserve punishment.
Unhappy with the modern day legal system, five men have decided to band together to hand out vigilante justice to anyone they think deserves it. This list is rather loose, as they include tailgaters along with drug dealers and other serious criminals. The band, which calls themselves Razor Eaters and videotapes all of their activities, has attracted the attention of Detective Danny Berdan Paul Moder, who finds himself captivated by the gangs footage.Young loosely based the films concept on the Hedge Burners, a group of vandals that videotaped themselves vandalizing property. He chose to escalate the actions to become more violent for the film, as Young believed that having the Razor Eaters only commit vandalism would get boring in about half an hour and that they needed to have a purpose, a goal. Young decided to make the gangs goal be infamy and stated that I think we set a really dangerous standard by the amount of publicity that we give to criminals. In order to flesh out the characters, Young had the actors improvise various scenarios such as how they met, how they came together as a group. ........
