Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful Though this sleazy, somewhat cheeky film about real-life serial killer Robert 'Willy' Pickton may turn off some viewers, its well-executed gore, great set design, and a potentially career-best performance from Jake Busey offer much to appreciate. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 28, 2023 Full Review John Townsend Starburst Portraying Pickton as a damaged, often confused sociopath, Jake Busey does his best with the material, bringing an erratic, fevered portrayal to a difficult, somewhat flimsily written role. But there are few other positives. Rated: 1/5 Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Pig Killer comes off exploitive and wanting to shock which it fails at throughout.

Raiodesol S There is such thing as too much soundtrack. This movie really needed someone to just cut all the songs and sounds that don’t fit the scenes or just go on for too long. Other than that, the movie obviously lacks the budget, and it shows, even if, with the kills and the gore, it’s well made and good enough to pass. Can’t say that about the acting though, the main characters actor and his brother are the only ones that seem to know what they’re doing. The script is a mess, with actual good scenes followed by terrible and pointless sequences that don’t help the narrative. It’s fun enough to watch, but it drags. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Great slasher flick. Can’t beat it in the Ultralowbudg category. Some un-even performances as to be expected, but fans of the genre will be entertained!
