Adam Mason's Pig Available Saturday April 17th Free and Online!

Director Adam Mason (Blood River) will release his feature Pig to online audiences Saturday, April 17th @ 6pm PST. Horror news sites Bloody Disgusting, Dread Central, and Twitch Films will post the feature, which was partially shot in a "70 minute take" (Dread). Also reviewed at Dread Central, Pig has been described as being "really tough to sit through. Every time you think that it can't possibly go any further down the road of depravity, it does" (Dread). Films with continuous long takes include Snake Eyes (5-7 mins') with Nicholas Cage, Rope from director Alfred Hitchcock (10 mins'), Oldboy (5 mins') and apparently Children of Men (4-6 mins'). However, no film promises seventy minutes plus. So, fans will have to check out Pig this Saturday to see if Mason's film is still coherent with such a long shot. More details below.

The synopsis for Pig here:

"Together with frequent collaborator Andrew Howard, Mason has completed an entirely different film during the waiting period for Luster. Shot on the cheap and on the sly, with any word kept carefully out of the press until the film was complete, Pig is a grueling exercise in single-take horror, a savage satire on American gender roles built around a lunatic central performance from Andrew Howard. With the runtime dominated by a single 70+-minute take, this is something entirely new from Mason, a technical experiment that builds on the themes and approach of his earlier work."

Release Date: April 17th (Online only).
