Directed by Noel Marshall, written by Noel Marshall, produced by Noel Marshall, Tippi Hedren and Robert Gottschalk.
Average viewer score of 5.8/10 from 135 ratings.
This is not a real movie. Possibly the most repugnant thing ever made for cinema, Roar is just a snuff film without any snuffing. Its only merit is in making the viewer despise everyone involved. I'd give it a zero if I could.
