31 Horror Movies You Must Watch This October 2022
8. Piggy
Piggy takes place in the Spanish countryside, where a tormented overweight girl, Sara (Laura Galán), is faced with a moral dilemma. When her bullies are kidnapped by a serial killer, does Sara help the police rescue them, or leave them to their fates?
It's an excellent setup, though Piggy rests largely on the shoulders of lead actress Laura Galán, who gives one of finest performances from any horror film this year as a traumatised, beaten down young woman forced to make a difficult decision.
Aided by a script that invests fully in its protagonist and avoids the schlocky treatment you might well expect, this is a thoughtful horror that also doesn't skimp on the violence and general nastiness.
Piggy releases on streaming on October 14.
