Summary
- Pig Hill draws from Pennsylvania folklore about 'pig people'.
- The film explores themes of grooming, gaslighting, and isolation.
- Filmmaker Kevin Lewis prioritizes relatable characters and visuals.

Filmmaker Kevin Lewis brings a unique vision to horror with his latest film, Pig Hill, now available on digital and VOD. Inspired by Pennsylvania folklore concerning 'pig people,' the movie centers on author Carrie investigating a series of disappearances connected to the unsettling legend.
Beyond the supernatural elements, Pig Hill delves into the human condition, exploring themes of grooming, gaslighting, and isolation, which Lewis finds particularly relevant today. The narrative weaves these dark psychological aspects into the horror, suggesting that the true monster often resides within us, driving individuals to question the motivations behind terrible actions.
Lewis also emphasizes the film's distinct visual style, contrasting naturalistic daytime scenes with surreal, colorful dreamscapes reminiscent of David Lynch. This cinematic approach, combined with a melancholic atmosphere inspired by The Cure, aims to offer audiences an escapist yet deeply resonant experience that goes beyond typical genre fare.
