The Hog


The Hog

Imagine a former MMA fighter deciding to try his hand in the horror genre. Sounds weird doesn't it. Ian Messenger (writer of the "The Hog") and his friends, decided to get together to make a short horror movie. This would be their first try. Does it live up to it's name or is it just bacon.

The first few seconds of the movie were a bit boring showing the actors names and only a car driving down the road. After that, however, it lived up to it's name. The three main characters, though short lived, made the audience feel sucked into their situations. This is what a horror movie should do. It had the feel of the late 1970's horror flicks, raw and dirty. Rob Zombie has been the only recent director to bring that feel back to the screen with House of a Thousand Corpses and The Devils Rejects.


The movie was not perfect having a few flaws here and there, however, its my opinion that this Short horror movie is well worth your time. I hope this group of young talent continues forward with this type of horror.
