This is a strange one…it’s apparently based on the terrifying true story of Robert ‘Willy’ Pickton, the pig farmer turned prolific lady-killer whose horrific crimes shocked the world.

PIG KILLER graphically depicts Pickton’s felonious farmhouse of rape, torture, slaughter, and dismemberment of almost fifty women. With his herculean hog, Balthazar, by his side, Willy and his menagerie of colorful cohorts terrorized Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for almost two decades until his 2002 arrest that uncovered the most bizarre series of murders Canada has ever seen.

Directed by Chad Ferrin, the film stars Jake Busey and Bai Ling.

I looked up the actual Robert ‘Willy’ Pickton and Jake Busey seems to be giving all the things in his performance, at least in the trailer. The actual story has all the disturbing gore to make a potentially good horror, ala Silence of the Lambs – or it could go the way I think it will a campy, (not good camp) bizarre mess and focus too much of the oddness of the pig. Since they’ve named it Pig Killer, guess which way it’s going to go. Sigh.

PIG KILLER is in theaters November 17th and also available on Blu-ray & digital from Breaking Glass Pictures.
