True Crime Film ‘Pig Killer’ Sees Jake Busey Play A Serial Killer

Breaking Glass Pictures will soon unleash the true-crime horror-thriller Pig Killer, a spine-chilling and thought-provoking film written and directed by Chad Ferrin (Night Caller). The film is set to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative based on the horrifying true story of Robert’ Willy’ Pickton, played by Jake Busey (Starship Troopers), the infamous pig farmer whose sinister crimes sent shockwaves through the world. The film takes audiences on an unflinching journey into the darkest recesses of human depravity, as it graphically depicts Pickton’s felonious farmhouse, a chamber of rape, torture, slaughter, and dismemberment of almost fifty women. With his enigmatic companion, a herculean hog named Balthazar, by his side, Willy and his menacing ensemble of colorful cohorts held Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside in a grip of terror for nearly two decades until his arrest in 2002 brought to light one of the most twisted series of murders Canada has ever seen. Jake Busey stars alongside Bai Ling (The Crow), Lew Temple

Screwdriver: A Twisted Tale Comes To VOD This November (Trailer)

From Buffalo 8 comes the twisted thriller Screwdriver, the feature film debut of writer-director Cairo Smith. “Blindsided by divorce, thirty-three-year-old Emily leaves her adopted Nebraska behind, returning to California with nothing but a suitcase in hand. She seeks refuge in the home of an old high school friend and his pharmacologist wife. The childless couple welcomes Emily into their lives, but their hospitality soon gives way to a surreal plot of cult-like manipulation and betrayal. As days bleed together, Emily falls into a delirious tailspin, forcing her to question her faith, sanity, and her generous hosts’ intentions.” AnnaClaire Hicks headlines the eerie, slow-burn film as Emily, a trusting woman who ends up in the potentially nefarious clutches of an old friend (Charlie Farrell) and his gracious and accommodating wife (Milly Sanders). Screwdriver, produced by Askari Productions and No Sudden Movies, made its world premiere on the festival circuit at Dances with Films in Los Angeles and went on to screen
