Pig Hunt

In the film, a group faces a monstrous wild boar while trying to survive vengeful rednecks and a deranged cult of hot girls.

John Hickman and his girlfriend Brooks are San Francisco residents who invite their friends, self-proclaimed tough guy Ben, his close friend Wayne, chef Quincy and his dog Wolfgang, to a weekend of hunting and drinking near John's uncle's remote cabin.

From the store owner, they learn about a local legend called "The Ripper," a legendary killer hog which supposedly weighs several thousand pounds.

One young boy is perched in a tree, and drops a dead animal carcass on the hood of their car as they pass underneath.

The next morning, they encounter methamphetamine-addicted hillbilly brothers Jake and Ricky Tibbs, cousins of John's, who are interested in joining them on a wild hog hunt.

An old feud still exists between John and Ricky, who is a Gulf War veteran showing signs of mental illness.

Quincy reappears - while looking Wolfgang, he encountered a large crop of marijuana plants and now leads the others to it, leaving Brooks with Wayne.

There is also a strange sign posted near the plants, which leads John to think that the hippies that he thought were raising emus are actually growing pot instead.

Meanwhile, Ben and Quincy make their way back to the cabin and find Wolfgang's mutilated body, determining that he was killed by the Tibbs clan.

At the same time, John and Brooks run into the mysterious Hippie Stranger as they hide in the forest; he is carrying a cattle prod, and tells them that he is looking for an escaped animal, and that they can contact the police from his commune.

As Jake sees the Ripper out in the pen and freezes in shock, the hippie he brought with him attacks, stabbing him in the eye before John kills her.

Pig Hunt Productions shoot the film in spring 2008 in Boonville, California and The Haight District, San Francisco.

[11] Mick LaSalle of the SF Gate rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and called it "a routine thriller" that is pretty good for what it is.
