Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

Denatir It's been said in other reviews, but I'll try to put my spin on the whole PIG experience. Make no mistake, it IS an experience and definitely not for the soft hearted.First of all, Howard's performance was nothing short of superb. He carries the film with an insanity that is both hard to watch and tough to turn away from. I also feel that not enough has been said about Black's performance. She plays deftly around Howard and does it disturbingly well.Almost the whole film is done in a real time constant, which was definitely brave of both the filmmakers and the cast. They do it exceedingly well and since the film does not look away, it makes it very tough for the audience to be able to look away. The feel of the movie (and it's been said in other reviews) is a continuous dread of what might come next and therefore keeps attention even during the "slow" parts. You never know when the characters are going to suddenly be set off.PIG is visceral, brutal, brilliant, disturbing and worth the watch.

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.

mairead6 The ingenious marketing for this was let down by technical hitches, but filmmakers take note and run with the idea faster than Forrest, this is how its done.I am now a self-confessed Pig. After the initial err of anticipation, once in I was captivated. I echo the Rob Zombie sentiments. However, I liked it, as much as one can 'enjoy' the patronizing, sadism and brutal human torture that is 'Pig'.Film appreciation may influence my view on homages/comparisons to others, but this merely enhanced 'Pig' than deflected from it. Most will notice the 'neverending take' Mason delivers - it does feel tedious and 'drags' the film yet with enough visually to sustain momentum especially 'cat and mouse' scenes. Yea. More of this please. A technical first combined with valid effort that made me all the more uncomfortable - waiting, itching for some kind of release - felt like a POV almost. Viewer participation without lifting a finger..I would give 'Pig' a go if you've a strong stomach - its not the worst film nor the best. Then, it doesn't claim to be. It is what it is. Better in places, a relief when its not. I found myself thinking. The inevitable 'RUN!, NOW WHATS HE DOING?!', then smiling at radio commentary.. . Clueless?. Welcome to my world.Self-examination has begun. This isn't your run-of-the-mill indie horror. Its the human condition. Personified. Howard's chillingly brilliant, consistently raw and seriously twisted. The captives did themselves justice, notably Mr Burnet, with sheer persistence. No victims here. *shuds*. Life just got that more terrifying.If a film makes me think, interpersonal or otherwise long after its done..Its my kind of film. Mason did good. Squeaky toys will never be the same.
