    Not That Bad...

    Listen. This was not the worst movie I have ever seen. Yes the makeup wasn't the best. & some of the chicks constant screaming & yelling got a little annoying. But it was entertaining. & different from other independent stuck in the woods horror movies. If you like different then it is worth a try. I LOVE horror films. I have seen tons of them. & this was neither the best nor the worst. It was actually pretty good for a no name independent film. I just wanted to add my opinion after reading these other 2 reviews about how it was horrible. Like I said it was not the best, but it was alright if different, bloody, slasher movies are your thing.

    insert witty subject here

    HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME, (4) and today we review .... my uncle ...the movie !!!! - .... get it .. hes a pig man .... oh who am i kidding im a fat pig too according to my wife .... and now i need to call my therapist again .... thanks movie ,,,

    WELL here we are with another pigman movie and i dont mind i #1 love giant pig monster flicks .... like razorback , boar etc ....and also pig man hybrid movies ....or in general animal people hybrid movies ....so here we are .... SADLY this film doesnt offer up much new for an avid horror film watcher ..... maybe to your run of the mill casual film going who doesnt see alot of crazy weird or off the beaten path films sure this would probably be something special ..... so if your used to seeing horror films like "the conjuring " or tyler perrys bootoberween 5 " then this might blow your mind ....OTHERWISE naaa its pretty basic ..... following the standard format

    group of kids ....the pot head, the a$$hole , the hot chicks, the boy friend girlfriend etc on a trip/going someplace / ending up someplace they shouldnt ..then attacked by monster / bad guys .... so story is same ol same ol on this one ....

    the pig guys look good .... the design is simple and good because of it ...NOT a mask some guy is wearing but some genetic hybrid action so they did a solid job with the FX especially on the little guy...he looks great ...set design looks good .... all thats tight ...

    HOWEVER ....

    DAY FOR NIGHT = TERRIBLE ...but i know how it goes .... lighting a night shot is rough ..and sometimes you cant help it ... BUT man it kills a flick sometimes to day for night it .... you just end up watching the movie through a pair of blue jeans .... its about that clear at times .... alot of the colour throughout the film was flat , ... d-saturated even ... maybe that was the look im not sure .... but the lighting was also pretty dark through out .....and it at times becomes a muddy mess ...kind of like my pants after a rough night at taco bell ....too much info ? ....

    and finally .... the script ...was all of about 4 pages long then the 5th page just said .... scream, squeal, scream, squeal , wash rinse repeat ..... nothing "wrong" with that sometimes ..when you have astrong story to back it up that needs no talky talky to help move it along ... BUT when thats about all it is ... its gets a little redundant ...

    SO final girl ...i mean verdict ....eh .. not bad .... not great ....just kind of middle of the road like a deer in headlights waiting to be splattened across highway 41 at 3 am in the morning by a drunk trucker named "big jimmy" ....

    5/10.

    don't waste your time watching.

    Like the headline says, please do not waste your time watching this movie. I found it while searching for some good ol' early 2000s slasher films and when I watched it, I was greatly disappointed. I wasn't necessarily expecting it to be that good in the first place but just watching it made me feel unfortunate that I had even wasted my time. Of course, I did get some laughs out of the movie, more from how horrible the acting and makeup was, but if you're looking for a more serious horror film, I really wouldn't recommend this.

    In a word, awful

    Okay, so SQUEAL is one of the worst slasher films I've ever sat through, and I've sat through stuff like MANIACAL. This is terrible, amateurish, whatever you want to call it; a film entirely lacking in a single redeeming feature, and a waste of time from beginning to end.

    The loose storyline is about a group of musicians stranded somewhere remote, who find themselves menaced by a couple of pig-human hybrids. These hybrids are nothing more than a couple of guys in cheap pig masks who run around. Meanwhile, the victims have zero characterisation and just yell and scream a lot.

    There's some gore thrown into the mix, and a whole lot of darkness and shaky-cam stuff. And not one moment in the film is enjoyable, from the opening moments to the closing credits. At least in a B-movie you can usually enjoy at least some elements of the production, but in this cheap, derivative and nasty slasher, it's amateur hour all round.

    Oink,

    After watching the first five minutes of this movie, I already knew I'd better turn it off and do something worthwhile with my time, but nooooo, I had to be stubborn and sit through it only finding myself wasting another ninety minutes of my life.

    Even though the premise sounds good (genetic experiments gone wrong created vicious hillbilly human/pig hybrids that want to kill people with a hatchet or first have sex with the more attractive female species), the movie is a complete and utter, boring, amateur mess.

    There really isn't anything good I can say about it, the plot is dull, completely illogical and predictable, the acting is among the worst I've seen in quite some time, - and I've seen my share of bad movies - especially the persistently hyperventilating Valerie gets on your nerves really quickly, irony wants it she's in the movie until the end, so there you have it.

    If I would call this a "really bad Texas Chainsaw Massacre" rip-off, some people would want to see it anyway, because there's some supposed resemblance with that movie. But believe me, it's not worth your time.

    Avoid at all costs.
