A skillfully crafted genre film, encrusted in plenty of blood by the time it reaches its crescendo, Piggy is also a reflective, deeply personal small-town morality tale. Writer-director Carlota Pereda takes on normalised social violence, using horror as a means to explore fear and vulnerability in a tormented teenager who’s desperate to fit in. The bullying is so harrowing that we understand her ambivalences around retribution and redemption, but Pereda’s interest lies in Sara’s complex inner journey through helplessness, rage, and justice.
