        Really Fun Horror Flick!

        "The slipcover of this edition is awesome, as always with anything VS or their awesome partner Labels release! It is a cool movie that was a lot of fun to watch, good horror performances and some humor to boot! I always love the unique VS service of allowing you to stack as many movies as you like in your cart during any release period and ship them for free! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"

        I'm becoming a Ferrin fan

        "Somehow Darkstar Pictures has lured me into the Ferrinverse. To be fair, it started with UNSPEAKABLE (from Troma, of course!), but NIGHT CALLER tipped me over. PIG KILLER is not my fave of what I've seen, but it ticks plenty of boxes. Oddball Rob-Zombieland trash, excessive dirt, Bai Ling & a sense of nastiness to go with the gore keep me happy. At least with Ferrin's recipe. The long running time is enough to put some off, but fans of Zombie's movies should take note if they haven't already discovered this chunk of trash-horror."

        "A stylized version of the Story of Canadian Serial Killer Robert Pickton that is both intense & disgusting but also Entertaining & surreal."

        Canadian horror

        "Directed by Chad Ferrin and starring Jake Busey as Pickton, Pig Killer dives headfirst into the grotesque reality of one of Canada’s most notorious murderers. The film portrays Pickton’s reign of terror from the 1980s to his arrest in 2002, focusing on his pig farm as the setting for unspeakable acts of violence. With scenes of rape, torture, and dismemberment, the movie leans heavily into exploitation horror, often pushing the boundaries of taste"

        Not to bad.

        "This film gives you a look into when society goes wrong. This is a good movie for you if you like real life serial killer films."
