OINK The Dark Pig is an innovative horror film set in Zephyrhills, Florida, created for genuine lovers of the genre and directed by Steve Gray of Fat Frog Films. With ‘70s and ‘80s slasher film tropes at the center, it tells the story of a maniacal killer in a horrifyingly grotesque pig mask, who stalks a youthful nursing student sitting houses in rural Florida. However, there’s a twist, the killer himself is under the watchful eye of a hellbent detective who wants to bring him to justice.

Inspired by horror classics like Friday the 13th, Scream, and Halloween, the film is the definition of all things unsettling and eerie – grotesque is the theme of the day as you will sit at the end of your seat with bated breath watching onscreen events unfold. If you’re into the adrenaline that comes with neverending fear and suspense, this is the film for you!

The film stars Jimmy Fitts (a former offensive guard for the New York Giants) as OINK, Jo Jo Payne (also the assistant director of the film), Johnny Maciage (known for roles in The Beast Comes at Midnight, Blood Money, and BESTIAL), Zach Biller, Neil Parren, and Amanda Jayne Jensen (as a voiceover artist).
