Review of Pig Killer

Pig Killer (2022)
4/10
Ruined by BAD Soundtrack
10 November 2023
Having read a book on the pig farmer Robert Pickton, I was familiar with most of the details in the film. Jake Busey is well cast as the serial killer. He and his brother inherited a large farm and sold a portion of it for a couple of million dollars. They hosted parties with attendees being mostly bikers and drug addicted prostitutes. Cocaine was provided by the genial hosts and after many years of missing sex workers the Canadian cops took an interest in the mystery.

A massive pig is the costar and he is extremely well fed by Robert with the severed body parts of the wayward women.

Unfortunately, the accompanying soundtrack is loud and intrusive. The main artist actually performs live at a party and the man has no musical talent and he should change career paths.

A former porn star named Ginger Lynn is cast as Robert's incestuous mother. The storyline is not for the squeamish.

Luckily, I stayed past the final credits as there is a scene with Pickton in jail reminiscing over his final body count.

Other than a solid lead performance by Busey, I was unimpressed with Killer Pig.
