PopHorror Let's Get Scared
I absolutely adore slasher films and I’m a huge fan of indie horror so I’m always excited to see more indie slashers get made. One that I’m really excited about that’s coming soon is Pigshit.
Check out the teaser for Pigshit below.
Astronomic Studios, the indie powerhouse behind low-budget genre hits like Intinction, Grandma, Amityville Ripper, and Mom n Pop: The Indie Video Store Boom of the 80s/90s, is bringing a blood-soaked, Southern-fried nightmare to horror fans with its latest feature, PIGSHIT. Written and directed by indie horror filmmaker Bobby Canipe Jr, PIGSHIT is a gruesome love letter to deep-fried ‘80s slasher classics like Slaughterhouse and Motel Hell.
Synopsis
A raw and nasty throwback to the golden age of VHS horror, PIGSHIT follows a group of young adults who return to an old abandoned pig farm for a late-night party. Unbeknownst to them, the farm holds a dark secret—years ago, a young boy met a horrific end here, and his grieving father vanished into the woods. But now, he’s back. Fueled by madness and bloodlust, the deranged farmer will stop at nothing to protect his land from the outsiders—some of whom may know more about the boy’s death than they’ve ever admitted
Pigshit.stars Dan Grogan (Mutilator 2),Mel Heflin (The Profane Exhibit), Ryan Martel (Amityville Ripper), Kelsey Baker (Grandma), Chris Lutterloah (Night of the Strangers), Mason Hamby (vocalist for the band HEFT), Josh Schafer (Lunchmeat VHS) and Patrick Moran (Jack-O, Vampire Trailer Park) in a special appearance
Joe La Scola, known for his work on the popular YouTube series and podcast Movie Dumpster, serves as the film’s Director of Photography and is said to give the film a gritty, nostalgic aesthetic fans of classic VHS horror crave.
The film will feature a score from Mike Treblicock, who has done the music for such films as STREAM, Crackcoon and Crabs. The score is said to blend Southern-fried slasher grit with a synth-heavy, retro horror feel.
Director Bobby Canipe Jr had this to say about the project.
“This film is a gnarly, dirty throwback to the kind of movies I grew up renting,” says writer/director Bobby Canipe Jr. “PIGSHIT doesn’t hold back—it’s mean, nasty, and exactly the kind of slasher fans of ‘80s Southern, backwoods horror are going to love.”
Pigshit sounds like it’s going to be a super fun throwback slasher. Are you excited for Pigshit?
