Hogs on the Big Screen - Pig Hunt
Coming soon, to a theater near you… or, maybe not so soon. Maybe not ever. But hey, it’s a movie called, “Pig Hunt”, so it can’t be all bad, can it? I know the HogBlog movie reviewer (me) is waiting eagerly to screen this flick!
Here’s a short synopsis from the Internet Movie Database (IMDB):
When John takes his San Francisco friends to his deceased uncle’s remote ranch to hunt wild pigs, it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns - despite the presence of John’s sexy girlfriend Brooks. But as John and his crew trek deeper into the forest, they begin tracking the awful truth about his uncle’s demise and the legend of The Ripper — a murderous three-thousand-pound black boar! Their pursuit leads them through fields of marijuana and into the muddy landscape of Big Wallow, involving high-powered weaponry, the violent and unpredictable Tibbs Brothers, massacred emus, a machete-toting Hippie Stranger, vengeful rednecks, and throat-slitting Cult Girls who grow dope by day and worship a Giant Killer Pig by night. By the time the pig hunt is done, no one is innocent - or unscathed. Not for the faint of heart, PIG HUNT is a darkly comic horror film that combines the best of DELIVERANCE, JAWS, and DINER, but remains uniquely Nor-Cal in its tone and scope. It is cinematic punkabilly - fresh, shocking, unforgettable!
Oh yeah, this one definitely seems ready for Sunday afternoon runs on the SciFi Channel! And no, while it definitely sounds like something cooked up by my friend, Rex over at the Deer Camp blog, it’s a for-real movie! Hopefully, it’s as bad as it sounds… sure to be a classic on the lines of Halloween and Friday the 13th!
If anybody’s beat me to it and already seen this one, I’d love to hear what you thought.
It does sound like it was made up. I’m sure it has it’s interesting parts though. Haha. This is too funny. Almost to good to even believe that such a movie actually exists.

Hmmm - I’m not sure what to say. That just sounds like a lame and terrible movie - but it’s like you say, I hope it’s as bad as it sounds! That seems to be what makes a good movie when it comes to this genre - really bad flicks with a lot of blood and throat slitting cult girls that grow dope and worship a big pig. I’ll wait for the review.

I caught the World Premiere of this flick at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal last month. Let me just say, GODDAMN, are you ready to have your boots knocked off?
I have yet to see a more entertaining and accurate portrayal of Hog Hunting culture on the big screen. Rednecks, Sexy-ass cult girls, and all the dope you can handle, rolled up into this insane blunt of a movie.

Wow. All I can say is, stock lots of liquor at the viewing party - we’ll need it.

Heh heh… Michael, you’ll need to get a copy of this and “Razorback” (forgot about that one) to keep down at the lodge. Oughtta be a hoot on the big screen!
Many years ago, my best friend was a film student at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. They had a kick-butt screening room (before the advent of quality big-screen TVs) where of course they would screen their work and view other movies as part of their education. Of course, after-hours, for those lucky enough to have access, the screening room provided a great place for extra-curricular activities, which sometimes included watching films.
Anyway, one of my fond-but-hazy memories is of a weekend visit where we gathered with several other film students and had a horror film party. The laughter and ad-libbing that went along with the classics such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and several others still rings in my mind today. Those awful movies were hilarious if you just enjoyed them for what they were.
I think Pig Hunt is definitely destined for that category. If you get a chance, head over to the link “pubixcube” provided and check out the trailers! Great stuff!

Absolutely! I will start looking for them and make sure we have em’ down there!
I will also take Holly’s advise and start stocking up, no good viewing of a decent B movie should be without lots of “laughter lubrication” on hand.
I will have to get the Movie “Hannible” as well, just for the Eurasian Wild Boar scene in it.
Besides, anything with Anthony Hopkins in it is bound to keep everyone entertained till sack time.
