Pig Pen

I'm writing this review with the movie's budget in mind- Are there some scenes where the acting was subpar? Yes. Could some of the filmography and special effects have been better? Sure, if you have the budget. Is it a bit one dimensional at times? Certainly. With that being said, I still thought the movie was entertaining. Started off a bit slow; if I had went into it without doing any research, I would've thought it was a drama about a dysfunctional household. However, the third act of the movie definitely threw me off- not because it was totally unpredictable, but it went from being a sad story of a neglected child, to a graphically violent thriller. It's not the best, it's not the worst, but I can undoubtedly say that with the money available, they made it work, and they made it work relatively well. Would love to see another film from this director if he has even double the budget of this movie.
