Film Review: Piggy (Lund Fantastic Film Festival)
Spanish chiller Piggy (Cerdita, 2022) is a terrific serial killer/coming-of-age/bullying and revenge mash-up that digs in deep on questions concerning doing what’s right, scapegoating, the dangers of a collective mindset, and more. Writer/director Carlota Pereda balances all of these aspects winningly and delivers a blood-soaked feature that leaves plenty to consider throughout the viewing experience and long after. Laura Galán portrays Sara, a plus-size teenager who helps out at her family’s struggling butcher shop. She is harassed by mean girls Maca (Claudia Salas) and Roci (Camille Aguilar), with the somewhat kinder Claudia (Irene Ferreiro) not participating but not doing anything to stop it, either. When the girls make fun of her at the community swimming pool — also joking about a man (Richard Holmes) who is also at the pool — and steal her clothes after nearly drowning her, it comes as little surprise that she doesn’t report to her parents or authorities after she sees the three girls being
