Just so...so bad

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I rate "Piggy" 2/10 because there are some flicks that are considerably worse than this unfortunate attempt at movie-making.
I've alerted for spoilers simply because I gave away the drive in this pic --- it is a vengeance movie, poorly executed, with piggy disguises being the only novel element introduced to the palette. Many scenes are dull, too long, scripting sadly lacking in power & drive. Overall, a dull, depressing flick that is quickly and easily forgotten. A shame.

The film was well paced and quite entertaining but the thing that stood out immediately was the sound post-production quality. It seems like there were quite a lot of hands on this area so I cannot quite fathom how the final version was allowed to be released like this.Yes, the soundtrack was outstanding, but no soundtrack should be showcased to the detriment of the film's dialogue which contains most of the essential plot. By looking at the credits, I'd point the finger at Tarn Willers - it's just not a great effort. I think it was also unnecessary to flood every moment of suspense with music and at the same time have it at a volume level which drowned out the signal of everything else.

Films about revenge are many and not all of them has made it into the history books. Neither this, but still this deserves some attention.The shy boy Joe lives a somewhat meaningless life. He is an underachiever which re-finds a meaning of life when his older brother takes him up, and brings him into his group of friends. Everything seems a little more meaningful, until an innocent incident started by Joe later on is what's the reason for a gang killing off his brother in meaningless violence. The "Piggy" shows up on Joe's doorstep, and starts twisting his mind in a violent direction.This is the start of a gruesome vengeance and a turmoil of violence. This is a violent film, but well done. It's dark, brutal and horrific, and nothing to watch if you can't stand violence. the violence is not of the most graphic, but impossible to ignore. It difficult to watch, thanks to the sounds and techniques, but it easily haunts you after-wards.The film is slow paced, and made in beak colors, suitable for Joe's dull life. the film has some trouble with the pace, and leaves us bored when it shouldn't. This will be a problem for many. Joe is well played by Martin Compston and Paul Anderson is good as Piggy. Louise Dylan isn't top notch compared with the two others, and struggles acting believably, and should improve her method acting. Absolutely a film to use in a debate for reasons of violence, and once again a typical loner and weak guy, being picked up and processed and developed into a violent figure. There's always leaders and followers in these matters. is this convincing? well. Decide yourself.References made to "A Clockwork Orange" and "Fight club" is quite far off as a whole, though some scenes are inspired.

A ridiculous film although I'm sure some will be dumbfounded enough to view, hoping they get a guardian psycho for Xmas.The repetition of lines with closeups of smiles and expressions, and stupid narrations. These where the real killer These aside this film is littered with holes that offer no explanation and contradict what has been shown. How did Piggy get into Joe's flat continuously when he would deadbolt his door 5 times. A person dies without water in 3 days yet that time had past from victims 2 and 3 before they went back and moved victim 1. Piggy must have taken care of it surely. I know he was wearing a piggy nose, this meant he was also a pig at kissing Claire on the nose. Blood splatter everywhere, while puking. This in London which you can name most of the streets in this film, must have be art though. Meant he walked about the happy narrating psycho undetected and unobserved. I was annoyed specifically at how contrary the finish. Specifically Piggy's code. Don't kill innocents otherwise you are as bad as those who have done you wrong. Piggy left him alone, to interpret this meaning as to kill the Ex who was as much a pig as I snog noses. While dropping off those body parts with a note, where they mailed. In England, a piggy a pig or a psycho, yea I'm sure.The plus side it had decent cinematography and sound. The rest was seamlessly flat.3 out of 10 both tedious and stupid
