Pig Pen

Just watched "Pig Pen", a 2015 very low budget indie film. This is without doubt, one of the most depressing movies I've seen. The story revolved around a young kid and his drug addicted Mom, and a sadistic boyfriend of the Mother. This is not for the faint of heart, what this kid goes through, is just flat out sick. But, the overall movie is done very very good, and even with the sickening subject matter, it succeeds by being very realistic and the graphic nature of the violence. Even though the whole movie is one big downer, it is done extremely well, and could very well be a sadistic crime on your late night news.

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

Strange little movie this is. Begins like a rather depressing kind of social drama but it ends with a punch in the stomach due of some very nasty violence. It's about a kid roaming the (depressing) streets and his mom. Trouble begins when the mom, a drug addict but rather caring mom, takes a new man in the house, a plain right psychopath. The film has this cheap looking thing about it. But that only helps the dreadful atmosphere this film is bathing in. Acting is kind of wooden and some dialogue scenes are simply to long, but like I said the end is a punch in the stomach. Not for everybody but those who are searching for something original and daring: give this film a try.

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.
