Willy's (Jake Busey) and his brother David (Lew Temple) run a pig farm,
and even if their place is modest, to say the least, they are to come into
some money as their land is worth half a fortune. Now Willy's a bit of an
awkward guy and not exactly the most handsome, but he's well liked because
he always throws gatherings with music and alcohol, and he's known to
supply pretty girls with drugs time and again. Now what nobody, not even
David, knows is that he has the habit of killing these pretty girls - all
due to the "special" relationship he has had with his deceased
mother (Ginger Lynn). Two cops (Michael Paré, Robert Rhine) are already
on his case, but they're unable to prove anything because Willy's smart
enough to remove all the evidence - meaning feeding his victims to his
pigs ... Young and pretty Wendy (Kate Patel) has just overdosed on
smack, and it has almost killed her. And while still on the mend, she gets
into a terrible argument with her dad (Robert Miano) and her wicked
stepmum (Silvia Spross), which ultimately leads to her running away from
home. Now with no place to stay for the night, she picks up a conversation
with Willy at the local bar, knowing about his reputation concerning
giving drugs to pretty girls, and she figures if she's nice enough he'd
even invite her over to his place for the night - which totally works
fine, but when the next morning she wakes up handcuffed in his bed, she
has to notice she's in for more than she has bargained for ... Bai Ling
plays one of Willy's victims, James Russo an undercover cop. Now
Pig Killer is a film that isn't likely to leave anyone cold, and
not so much for its gore scenes but for its cynical, almost nihilistic
undercurrents that really and successfully mirror its leads lack of
compassion. But that's not to say the film is just a gaze into the abyss,
as it actually tells its story in a multi-layered way that really gives
depth to the central characters and creates a rich enviroment for them.
And a directorial effort that certainly doesn't shy away from gore but
doesn't make it its central setpiece, and a very solid cast certainly help
make this a pretty powerful genre piece.
