True Crime Inspired Horror 'Pig Killer' Slashes Its Way Into Theaters

True Crime Inspired Horror ‘Pig Killer’ Slashes Its Way Into Theaters

The true-crime-inspired horror-thriller Pig Killer, a spine-chilling and thought-provoking film written and directed by Chad Ferrin (Night Caller), opens in theaters today. The film is based on the horrifying true crimes 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 the 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.

Spoiler-Free TV Series Review: MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS (2023), Episodes 1–4

Spoiler-Free TV Series Review: MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS (2023), Episodes 1–4

Terrific acting, well-written drama, and beautifully crafted kaiju attacks highlight Apple TV+’s series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, based on Legendary’s MonsterVerse, taking place after the battle between Godzilla and the Titans as seen in Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters combines conspiracy thriller, family intrigue, and monster movie mayhem elements deftly, though viewers may find the time- and location-hopping a bit jarring at first. Obviously, the narrative is a nonlinear one, and even once some initial timelines are established, new ones are introduced. Viewers who can keep track of this approach will be kept on their toes, while others who just give into the flow of the proceedings shouldn’t find themselves too lost. After a kaiju-riffic cold open to the first episode, we are introduced to Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), who travels from San Francisco — she was an extremely up-close witness to Godzilla’s 2014 emergence in San Francisco — to Tokyo to deal with her recently deceased
