Very best movie i ever watch
Captivating movie !
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I've seen a lot of animals used for terror - Jaws, boas, alligators, bears, etc., but I have never seen a three-thousand-pound pig.But, the pig is the least of the worries for the group that came out to hunt. One of them killed the brother of these hillbillies that live there. The whole coked-up alcoholic dysfunctional family will be out for revenge.And, into the mix is a hippie commune that worships hogzilla. Now, lots of people are going to die in some very disgusting ways.All the ones you don't like will be dispatched, and little piggies will roam the woods and grow into more killer pigs.Don't look for any great acting or witty writing, just sit back and enjoy the carnage.
I will start with the one really good thing about the movie! It's the sound(track). I really loved it. It's a bit country mixed with other influences and it really worked for me. Not everyone at the Festvial I watched this at, was as hyped about it as me though, but that's how everyone receives certain things.Now onto the problems: There is not much happening in the movie. And while the direction it takes (concentrating on the characters) is not really a bad one, it doesn't have either the script/dialog nor the actors to carry something like that. Still a few (too little) action set pieces and some fine moments plus the music prevent this movie from falling completely down ...
Pig Hunt get's 8 out of 10 points from me. It has everything that should be in a horror movie, some weirdos (like the "redneck family neighbors" or the "hippie community") and some strong characters like Jason Foster who sometimes visually comes up like a sort of "badass" Aragorn ( by the way Travis Aaron Wade and Tina Huang as main char's did a great job, too). The story has multiple threats what makes it more interesting than other films in this genre, it contains enough suspense, horror and gore (great job on the special FX even the mutant pig) and good action too! As there are many horror movies simply duplicating old "hits" this one does not come up with really something new, but it has enough potential not to see it as a copy of the older genre stuff because of his mixture of horror and monster movie. As a real fan of this genre i spend a good time on that!
I thought this was a truly awful film and have been amazed at the amount of praise placed upon it. First and foremost the score by Les Claypool is one of the worst have ever heard, funky basslines don't really work to convey suspense or anything really, and when it gets to the point of the score consisting of weird chanting by one of the actors in the film, it becomes incredibly confusing as to whether someone is speaking or its the score. The acting too was pretty bad, especially the fat character whose portrayal of emotion is basically none existent. The storyline sways off the track for about half the film, forgetting the 'pig' part of the title altogether. Also I have to say this film contained so many continuity errors easily spotted on you're first view, you wonder if anyone actually watched it before releasing it. I'm normally someone who can find something to appreciate in any horror flick, heck I love the cheesy low budget film of Full Moon, Troma etc, but this film really has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
