About Pig

 
 

A man wakes up alone in the middle of the desert with a black hood on his head and his hands tied behind his back. At death's door, he is discovered by a woman living alone in the desert and is nursed back to health. Upon regaining consciousness, the man realizes he has no idea who he is or how he got in the desert. His only clue, a piece of paper in his pocket with the name "Manny Elder" written on it, sends him on a journey to Los Angeles to discover his past. But things and people are not what they seem and clues lead to something bigger and more unusual than the man could have ever imagined.

Rudolf Martin in Pig

Highly recommended. Along the lines of Nolan's Memento. A thoughtful meditation on consciousness and being,

developed as a suspenseful search for self."

- Scott Urban, THE HORROR ZINE


The most provocative film I saw at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.  A brilliant sci-fi thriller…

that catches you by surprise and lingers in the

mind long after the final fade out."

- Robin E Simmons, DESERT STAR WEEKLY


A splendidly crafted...conceptually ambitious thriller.  A story that glistens with philosophical relevance for our current age.  Echoes of other noir-tinted puzzle-box films such as The Game, Oldboy, and Memento. The kind of sly little genre experiment that reveals the parched cinematic imagination that characterizes most studio thrillers."

- GATEWAY CINEFILES


If you like INCEPTION or MEMENTO,

then this film is defiantly for you.”

- Dylan Keselman, Films In Review


A landmark feature...a beautifully devised film that

epitomizes the art of cinema.”

- Crystal Harrell, PALM DESERT PATCH


A riveting adventure of confusion and identity. Barrial

has crafted a first-rate mystery-thriller with sci-fi elements [providing] twists-a-plenty, and Martin delivers an

excellent, layered performance in the

always challenging who-am-I role."

- Clint O'Connor, CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER


An intelligent, intriguing film.  A cross between Memento and The Machinist, with a sci-fi twist. Very well shot, acted and produced.  Seriously, it looks great.  And it keeps you guessing all the way through.  I most definitely recommend this film."

  - Neil Weakley, COMEDY FILM NERDS


An excellent, well-crafted film. A twisty little mystery...

thought provoking, intelligent."

  - Jonathan Weichsel, FILMRADAR


Reminiscent of Memento...absorbing and satisfying. A suspenseful mystery about how much our memories shape us. "

  - HORROR YEAR BOOK


Looking for the next Memento, Seconds, or Primer? The next twisty brain teaser flick to get excited for is Pig.”

- i09.COM


Fresh and entertaining.  A complex puzzle, different but in a similar manner as Christopher Nolan’s MementoPig not only stands up to multiple viewings, but actually demands a second viewing to capture the story in its entirety.”

- Travis Keune, WE ARE MOVIE GEEKS


A great psychological thriller with a surprising end [that] is completely unexpected and very clever.

An emotional, turn-twisting story."

- Kay Shackleton, EXAMINER


One of the most effective elements of this science-fiction thriller is its ability at keeping the audience guessing till the end.  Rudolf Martin is captivating as a man searching for answers.  His subtle performance recalls Guy Pearce in Memento. Thought provoking ideas...linger long after the final reveal takes place."

- Michael Haffner, DESTROY THE BRAIN


Take it as a compliment, not a concern, that Henry Barrial’s amnesia drama has been compared to Memento.  It gives

viewers the same edgy, tingling sensation of trying to

piece together fractured clues”

- Howard Pousner, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION


Mesmerizing sci-fi film...smartly written, directed and produced. In the genre of a very good Rod Serling or Nolan’s Memento, this indie film keeps you guessing to the very end.”

- John Compisi, SONOMA EXAMINER


Bring(s) home the bacon by providing a nifty, novel explanation to the mystery--at least for the audience.”

- Susan Gegger, ST. LOUIS BEACON


In my top picks, Pig will echo in your mind for a while. Evokes the anxiety of Memento.”

- Michael Parsons, THE ROGERS REVUE


A pretty damn good film! Well shot, great acting,

and the storyline was amazing.”

- GRUESOME HERTZOGG


An amazing movie. I loved it. Had me

second guessing myself throughout.”

- WEIRD REVIEW


A trippy indie film that starts weird and gets weirder,

with hints of Memento."

- Amara D. Angelica, KURZWEILAI.NET


Intriguing...in the Memento mold.”

- Roger Moore, ORLANDO SENTINEL
