First Look: Jake Busey Stars In True Crime Inspired Horror 'Pig Killer'

First Look: Jake Busey Stars In True Crime Inspired Horror ‘Pig Killer’

Today, we’ve got the first look at the true crime-inspired horror film Pig Killer starring Jake Busey (“Stranger Things,” Starship Troopers). We also have its August release date. Pig Killer is inspired by the terrifying true story of a serial killer, the pig farmer and prolific lady killer whose horrific crimes shocked the world. Speaking of shocking, Pig Killer is not for the faint of heart. It graphically depicts the rape, torture, slaughter, and dismemberment of forty-nine young women on a pig farm. With his herculean hog, Balthazar, by his side, Willy and his menagerie of colorful cohorts terrorized Vancouver’s seedy downtown until his arrest, which uncovered a horrific series of brutal murders. The film was written and directed by Chad Ferrin (Night Caller). Busey stars alongside Bai Ling (The Crow), Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Ginger Lynn Allen (The Devil’s Rejects), Michael Pare (The Lincoln Lawyer), James Russo (Open Range), Cyril O’Reilly (NightMan), Susan Priver (Night Caller), Kurt Bonzel

Jason Blum Gives Update On The New 'Spawn' Movie

Jason Blum Gives Update On The New ‘Spawn’ Movie

After years of rumors, and delays, Blumhouse’s Spawn may actually finally be on its way soon.

McFarlane has since stepped aside, and the movie is now searching for a new director. It’s been pretty much radio silence until recently when Jason Blum gave a minor update during a talk with ComicBook.com. According to the horror heavy-hitter, the movie is still on the way and is expected to premiere in 2025. “I would say you have a lot to hope for because it’s in very very active development,” Blum told ComicBook.com. “What needs to happen is that my fellow friends the writers and the studios need to figure out their differences and get back to writing, but we’ve got a great group of folks putting it
