Key points:
Based on a true story. Filmed where the murders happened.
Original take on the slasher genre. First movie I've seen with female villain and first with pigs being used on command.
Some flaws in the script and acting. No major plot holes. Leaves a lot of questions.
Overall, an entertaining and suspenseful film.
Piglady is a 2023 horror film about a group of friends who go on a Christmas vacation to a remote cabin in Oregon. They soon discover that the area is haunted / stalked by a mysterious woman (ambiguous gender) who is said to have killed and mutilated several people. The film is "loosely" based on the true story of Susan Monica, a woman who was convicted of murdering four people in Oregon in the early 2010's.
Piglady is an original take on the slasher genre. The film does not only rely on jump scares or gore to scare its audience. Instead, it creates a sense of suspense and dread by building tension and atmosphere. The film is also notable for its strong female characters. The lead characters are all women who are strong, independent, and resourceful.
However, the film is not without its flaws. The script is a bit uneven, and some of the acting is subpar. The film also drags in a few places. Overall, Piglady is an entertaining and suspenseful film, but it is not without its flaws.
Strengths:

Overall:
Piglady is a flawed film, but it is also an entertaining and suspenseful one. Fans of the slasher genre will likely enjoy the film, but it may not be for everyone. I would recommend the film to fans of the genre who are looking for something a bit different.
I give it a 6/10 but rated it higher because it has a unique charm about it. It's quite funny in spots. And it's a directorial debut and all things considered it produced quite well considering it was a crowdfunded moving raising my rating to a 8/10
It's a fun movie produced with a low budget and considering the coordination required to make a movie and doing so at night with real pigs, I have to give it props.
