No, Javelina is not a new superhero movie about a javelin-throwing female crimefighter. Javelina is another name for a peccary, a pig-like animal found in the American wild, the name being derived from its sharp tusks. Now I bet you can easily guess what the movie Javelina is about.
This latest killer pig flick is the creation of Texas actor/filmmaker Barry Tubb, perhaps best remembered as “Wolfman” in Top Gun. Javelina sees a small Texas town terrorized by a pissed off wild javelina seeking revenge against the hunters that killed its mother. D.B Sweeney (“The Event”, Eight Men Out) co-stars.
There’s not a whole lot of info about this low budget nature gone amok movie out there at this time. But we do have a trailer and a funny tagline: “You were safer in the water.”
