Truth be told, when I sat down to watch the 2025 horror movie "The Arkansas Pigman Massacre" I was expecting it to be a low budget movie, given the movie's title. And seeing the staggering 3.2 rating that the movie has snagged here on IMDb, as of the moment I sat down to watch it, then I didn't exactly harbor any grand expectations to writer and director Jt Kris.
From the first scene with the woman riding a motorbike for a prolonged time on the screen, and then going camping in the woods, it was painstakingly obvious that this was not going to be a stellar movie experience, because the acting performances were questionable.
The only familiar face on the cast list was Eric Roberts, and it is not like he is a top notch actor, and he literally pops up in just about anything with a paycheck. The acting performances in "The Arkansas Pigman Massacre" were shoddy, wooden and laughably bad.
The effects in the movie were actually fair. It showed that the movie makers at least tried to make an effort there. But it just wasn't sufficient to make up for everything else that was terrible in the movie.
"The Arkansas Pigman Massacre" looked, sounded and felt like a low budget and homemade film made by someone having borrowed his father's old video camera from the attic.
If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and don't waste 90 minutes on this dumpster fire of a movie. Some of us suffered through this garbage, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.
My rating of writer and director Jt Kris's 2025 movie "The Arkansas Pigman Massacre" lands on a generous one out of ten stars.
