Piggy

"A meditation on the banality of horrible people, Piggy is an instant horror classic."

"Pereda carefully sets up our expectations only to subvert them."

"Carlota Pereda announces herself as a skilled manipulator of audience sympathies."

"Piggy is a bruising character study, with no neat and tidy redemption arc..."

"A masterful mix of dark comedy, social commentary and raw suspense."

"Galán is an actor worth keeping an eye on, a very canny choice..."

"Pereda casts an unflinching eye on Sara, making (the film) feel even more personal and impactful through style and restraint."

"Piggy firmly establishes Pereda as a bold new voice in feminist horror."

"A very strong film that manages to meld more than one genre."

"Galán is a delight..."

"Laura Galán shines..."

"Draws its terror from the same well of adolescent female insecurity as 'Carrie,' before going its own grisly way."

"Out of all the titles at [Sundance 2022], I’d vote this Spanish grindhouse throwback most likely to burn down the house wherever it plays in-person next."
