Piggy (2022) with Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana
Manage episode 360641479 series 3453585
Join me for a chilling discussion on the 2022 Spanish Horror film, Piggy, with special guest Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana, host of What A Scream podcast and contributor to Ghouls Magazine and Moving Pictures Film Club. We delve into the complex character of Sara, portrayed by Laura Galán, a young, overweight girl living in rural Spain who is tormented by her peers and constantly belittled by her own mother.
But Sara's story takes a dark turn when she finds herself drawn to an unknown fat man who is on a killing spree of teenage girls. As we explore the depths of Sara's psyche, we question whether she is a victim of circumstance or a willing participant in the gruesome murders. And we can't help but wonder, what drives someone to commit such heinous acts of violence?
As we analyze the themes of bullying, body shaming, and the search for acceptance, we are forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about ourselves and society as a whole. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about horror films and the human experience.
