Spanish horror film Piggy is set to release in theatres and on VOD on October 14th—and the official trailer gives mean girls a taste of their medicine.
In Piggy: “During the sweltering summertime of rural Spain, Sara (Laura Galán) carries an extra load of teenage agony due to the perpetual bullying from her peers. She’s also an outsider at home—her parents and little brother just don’t understand her—so, feelings internalized, she’s often found buried in her headphones, drowning out her surroundings.
“One day, Sara’s usual solo dip at the local pool is disrupted by the presence of a mysterious stranger in the water and an exceptionally gruelling bout of abuse at the hands of three girls. But, in a strange twist of fate, along the way home, Sara witnesses her bloodied tormentors being kidnapped in the back of the stranger’s van.
“Sara must decide whether to cooperate with the police and parents’ questioning about the kidnappings, or take her own, unbridled path—while also discovering the power of desire and belonging, and the distinction between revenge and redemption.”
Carlota Pereda wrote and directed Piggy, adapting her 2018 short film. Check out the trailer below!
