Piggy

• Drama
• Horror

In the sweltering heat of rural Spain, *Piggy* unfolds as a strikingly unsettling folk horror centered not on escaping a monster, but on the intoxicating allure of witnessing justice – or a warped version of it – befall relentless bullies. Sara, a withdrawn and overweight teenager ostracized by her peers and stifled by her family, finds a disturbing fascination with a mysterious man who begins abducting her tormentors. The film isn’t a simple revenge fantasy; it’s a deeply unsettling exploration of loneliness, power dynamics, and the desperate desire for recognition, painting a portrait of a wounded outsider drawn to a figure who offers a dark reflection of her own suppressed rage. While rooted in the visceral horror of violence, the narrative lingers in the uncomfortable space between victim and accomplice, offering a prickly, morally ambiguous experience that subverts typical genre tropes with its intensely focused character study and sun-drenched, yet oppressive atmosphere.
