"Long Pigs" review from Cult Cut Films

LONG PIGS is a faux-documentary where two filmmakers attempt to chronicle the life of a cannibalistic serial killer named Anthony McAlister. If the idea of a documentary crew following around a serial killer sounds familiar, then you have probably seen or at least heard of the French film, MAN BITES DOG. A misconception could be made that LONG PIGS is just a more modern knock-off of MAN BITES DOG (a film way ahead of its time), but in fact LONG PIGS’s only resemblance to its French counterpart is their shared premise. Unlike MAN BITES DOG, LONG PIGS seems like a real documentary (with a few minor exceptions towards the end of the film). The “filmmakers” are really trying to make a “documentary” that digs deep into the psyche of a serial killer, rather than just follow him around and filming his exploits. In fact, because we get to see how McAlister ticks, the film is all the more disturbing. Yet the kicker here is not how disturbed McAlister is, but how the “filmmakers” have no problem following him around and filming as he kills, carves, and eats his victims—almost blissfully unaware that they are aiding and abetting a murderer. The real directors of the film, Nathan Hynes and Chris Power do an excellent job here for their first full-length film, as do the actors portraying the “real life” characters. As a faux-documentary it skips the tongue-in-cheek campiness and cuts right to the bone (yes, pun intended). Highly recommended. – Fred McKennon
