Oink Oink Oink! Disappointment from Spain. Piggy had the potential to be a great bully/revenge exploitation film with many interesting scenes, but everything was left unused. Personally, I was hoping that the first half would get a psychological charge with an obese girl being bullied in the worst way, to then take revenge on all the girls in the style of I Spit On Your Grave, but I was very soon misled with what they served up. There is only one bullying scene (that's downright mockery), this is exactly what the film should have built on to give the viewer some empathy for the girl, because sympathy is definitely not won and she is not pretty to look at. So instead of bullying or anything interesting, we get more of a social drama where nothing much interesting happens and the TV visuals make it a very uninteresting spectacle. Unfortunately, even the revenge itself isn't satisfying, anyone who has seen a few films in this genre can't be satisfied with this one at all. There is some violence at the very end, but it's so woefully little and late that it's hardly worth mentioning. Piggy tries for some sort of social subtext, but it's woefully boringly shot and uninteresting. There isn’t any gore or dirty exploitation. It didn't entertain me or satisfy me, it pissed me off. 4/10,

An overweight girl suffers ridicule at the hands of the people in her small town. The only person in whom she finds support is a rampaging killer, whose identity and whereabouts are known only to her. Piggy has an interesting subject and starts off very promisingly, but the screenplay starts to stray from what’s interesting and becomes annoying due to unnecessary dialogue with the girl's mother and the police trying to figure out why the protagonist is concealing the events that she has witnessed, as if the viewer doesn’t already know. The bloody climax mitigates the viewer’s disappointment, but the impression of wasted potential remains.

Fat Carrie from the Spanish backwoods. Sarah, a butcher's daughter, is being bullied by a trio of douchebags. Coincidentally, however, after one particularly nasty episode, she witnesses said douchebags being loaded into a white van by an unknown psychopath and driven off to enjoy some torture. Good for them, she says logically enough, and with a friendly wave she lets the van drive off and keeps the whole experience to herself. Her conscience gnaws at her a little, but the situation is complicated by the fact that she and the kidnapper have formed a romantic bond during the brief moment they saw each other. What follows is a surprisingly brisk horror-thriller ride (I was expecting a much more sedate film that prefers dramatic digging into moral issues over genre attractions) with irresistible gusts of black humour and a decently gritty finale. Given that Piggy doesn't take itself too seriously, I'll turn a blind eye to some of the awkward scenes (e.g. the sequence when the heroine goes looking for her mobile phone and randomly bumps into several people is simply weird) and I’m giving it a weak four.
