Horror Movie of the Day: Piggie (Cerdita, 2022)

Sara lives in a small rural town of Spain as a normal teenager who helps her family with the family butchery, dreaming of of romances and parties like any other would. There’s only one problem, though: she’s overweight, and thus, the target of some relentless bullying from the more popular girls at school who frequently call her “piggy”. All to the absolute indifference of her parents. This comes to a boiling point by the time they nearly drown her in the public pool through their pranks, as well as stealing her clothes. So when a humiliated and half naked Sara comes across a van on her way home where her tormentors have been kidnapped by a complete stranger, she keeps silence.

For that man was the one person to show her kindness, simply giving her clothes back… and driving away with the bullies.

Directed by Carlota Pereda, this Spanish production based on a short of the same name is as enthralling on it’s rhythm as its challenging on its subject matter. To help its case, though, the stylistic choices it brings to the table are on point. It’s initial warm pastel colors counterpoint the intense commentary about bullying, the expectations of normalcy and saccharine pop music juxtaposed to the abuse on screen, only to gradually devolve into something darker that culminates with the nightmare of desaturated greys you’d expect from a grindhouse film. All of which is enhanced by the stellar performance of Laura Galan, who despite being 35 at the time of filming completely captures the emotional instability of a tormented teenager.

It really begs the question of why would someone be required to show compassion for people that have given them misery their entire life, and criticizes the passivity and moral myopia that enables this environment to begin with. It keeps things simple where it oughts, while also displaying some elegant filmaking and not giving clear cut answers to the questions it raises.

Cerdita (Piggy) (2022, Spain)

Director & Writer: Carlota Pereda

Mini-review:

I loved this way more than I thought I would. The representation probably isn't perfect, but it portrays fatphobia in a really harsh and unflinching light. Some people might find it too much, but I think Carlota Pereda made the right choice, showing how bullying and abuse can affect a person's psyche. Oh, and it was a fantastic move to show that fatphobia can happen at home as much as it happens outside. While there are strong doses of dark humor here and there, the movie is a pretty hard watch at times, so be warned.

All that being said, the movie's true power rests entirely on Laura Galán's bravura performance. She perfectly conveys her character's anxiety, confusion and terror. I couldn't help but relate to her, even as her situation escalates into something pretty crazy. Also, Carmen Machi's acting is as excellent as always, but I already expected that. Finally, I wanted to mention the cinematography and the sound design. The movie flawlessly captures the vibes of summer life in a small, rural-ish Spanish town, from the light to the background noises. So yeah, I will definitely keep an eye out for Pereda and Galán's future work.

So I finally got around to watching this. I flipped between Spanish and English to see how bad the dub really was...ultimately I decided on English. The movie was interesting but Laura Galan is my age and can't really pass for a teen. The undertones of Stockholm syndrome were there totally but it seems like the writer didn't want to really commit to going there🤔. There were a lot of unanswered questions, also Sara (piggy) wasn't made likeable enough, I liked her but she wasn't really a sympathetic character...it was still worth watching though 🖤🌹🍷

Piggy is one of the best new visions of revenge of the bullied subgenre, and you can watch it now on VOD platforms, if it's the kind of thing you're into.

Along with writing on here. I'm going do movie reviews. Old & new.

Piggy (2022)

I'm not much into horror now days but Piggy sparked my interest last year. Judging from cover you would think it's super gory but isn't. The bullying is a substitute for the gore. I loved this movie tho and the only complaint if it even counts as complaint, is English overdub isn't that great. Laura Galan is amazing in it. The ending didn't end like I thought it would. This movie is somewhere in my top ten now. ****
