jackmeat My quick rating - 2,4/10. All this is? 69 minutes of watching some supposed psychotic serial killer demoralize some captors in the middle of nowhere. Scenery is great if you want to stare at a mobile home for that long. So terrible acting, pissing on a woman for no reason, cooking with blood, a pregnant captor acting like a two year old....that about sums up this movie. Oh, that other one minute? (yes, the "movie" is only 70 minutes which is hardly categorized as a movie) That other one minute is the only reason this gets a single point since I never saw the ending coming. Beyond that, horrible in every way. They skipped the killing to make it about a serial killer. The one person killed just, died from headbutts. Oops (yeah, he actually says "I didn't mean to kill her") I'd mention poor script, but I doubt there was one.

patientpsychoa While Pig is more an experiment in art and film-making it doesn't take away from the fact that it is still a fine example of a genre film. Pig takes place in the sweltering desert and really has no drawn out plot. More just a desert maniac murdering people but cmon do you really need more than that. It follows in the foot steps of former desert dwellers like The Hills Have Eyes on up to the more recent Wolf Creek and The Devil's Rejects. Pig isn't a movie I'd recommend to the casual movie goer that's used to the quick cuts and gross amounts of CGI considering that the whole movie is one complete shot with no edits. It could be quiet trying for someone who's not used to long extended shots. Pig makes for an interesting watch to see just how the whole thing will play out and it does a pretty decent job. My only real complaint is the lack of gore for this type of movie but given the fact that it was shot in one take it makes it a bit more understandable that there wasn't more. I suggest if your a big horror fan or have a strong interest in film-making then I say you should seek Pig out.

Tom Jeffery A hypnotic headmashing experiment in single camera nastiness, PIG certainly lived up to and also confounded my expectations. I was expecting a standard redneck slasher film, which in essence it is, but the totally unhinged performances and the atmosphere of inescapable dread really hooked me in, and made me feel I needed a shower after it was over. Extremely technically impressive, almost completely improvised, and bringing to mind other experimental fare like the August Underground series, PIG is practically a video diary of murder, degradation, and crack-smoking madness. As unsettlingly brilliant as Andrew Howard's performance is, a few moments of pitch-black humour dot the proceedings, adding an interesting edge to an otherwise fairly archetypal character. The music can get slightly tiresome, I'd have liked to see it with no score at all except the radio excerpts. It's certainly a slog, but an admirable and affecting one.

mdnobles19 I hated it with a passion! I mean it tried to be Wolf Creek, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Devil's Rejects and Funny Games which it did kind of surpassed them when it came to disgusting, stomach turning violence and gore but did it ever cross their minds that less is sometimes more when it comes to horror movies. There is no suspense and is an insult to the senses and it crossed the line and it amazes me that some people think this is good and watchable and it makes me want to take a long shower afterwards, maybe that was their goal. I have to give it to Andrew Howard for giving an insane, ballsy, what the heck performance, Rob Zombie would be proud but how could you walk away sane after making this I mean it's like an experiemental film gone horribly wrong. I hate it even more for making no sense out of the crimes and no backstory for any of the characters, it didn't make me care just disgusted and very, very annoyed but the ending was crazy to see what he was and the life he was going back to. Overall sure it had guts plenty of it but no substance and nothing to back it up and it's completely unnecessary and I urge everyone to avoid it!
