Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Great Film overall

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

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.

Pig is the kind of movie that you put on when you have buddies over to see them squirm and mutter obscenities under their breath. This is not a movie to be 'liked.' The movie is an hour and a half of pure brutality. As the film progresses, the twisted mind of the male lead becomes more and more apparent, as his mentally disabled 'wife' is introduced, as well as multiple other things he does to his prisoners.The effects are amazing, considering they were all done on-the-spot, just out of frame. The gore, for what it's worth, looks great.Words cannot do this movie justice. If you think you can stomach the unabridged carnage this movie portrays, please do yourself a favor and watch it.

PIG is not a movie you're likely to put on for the family after a big Christmas lunch, but as an exercise in unrelenting brutality it's certainly worth checking out for any fan of extreme cinema.Even at only a little longer than an hour PIG seems a bit too padded. If this was a 60-minute MASTERS OF HORROR episode it would have easily been the best one, but a certain numbness sets in to the viewer around 45-minutes in after such a protracted exhibition of frenzy, brutality and madness.Technically the film's much-ballyhooed 'single take' technique is certainly daring. And the performances are committed, if not always entirely successful in some instances.All-in-all this isn't a perfect film. But Adam Mason and his team have gone and done a left-of-field experiment in grueling extremity. And for a vast majority of its run time it most certainly succeeds.
