Pig Pen

As dark, depressing, and real as Buddy Boy. Incredible! Must see for dark horror fans...MUST SEE!!!!

Horrible acting, stunted lines, confusing flashbacks.

my vote is 6.5 good music and sound track, the other reviewer did a decent recapitulate of the movie.

As I was watching, I was angry with what happen or may happen to the boy and mom.

this is not an happy ending type of movie. very R for violence.

I'm writing this review with the movie's budget in mind- Are there some scenes where the acting was subpar? Yes. Could some of the filmography and special effects have been better? Sure, if you have the budget. Is it a bit one dimensional at times? Certainly. With that being said, I still thought the movie was entertaining. Started off a bit slow; if I had went into it without doing any research, I would've thought it was a drama about a dysfunctional household. However, the third act of the movie definitely threw me off- not because it was totally unpredictable, but it went from being a sad story of a neglected child, to a graphically violent thriller. It's not the best, it's not the worst, but I can undoubtedly say that with the money available, they made it work, and they made it work relatively well. Would love to see another film from this director if he has even double the budget of this movie.

This movie is one dark and depressing story about a young boy and his mother and her violent boyfriend and what happens to them all over the course of a few days.

A lot of the story is told in flashbacks; that illuminate the decisions that the boy and his mother make to try and survive in a cruel world.

The story is actually very well acted and well told; but anyone looking for an uplifting story better look elsewhere.

A solid 5 out of 10 for the quality of the story.
