"Pig Hill"
Empty Jug Productions in association with Concourse Media confirm that their gory horror, "Pig Hill", is set for its World Premiere at this year's Frightfest on 23rd August. Based on the novel by Nancy Williams, "Pig Hill" is directed by Kevin Lewis ("Willy's Wonderland") and stars Rainey Qualley ("Shut In"), Shane West ("Salem") and Shiloh Fernandez ("Evil Dead").
Kevin Lewis said: "I am so excited to premiere my film 'Pig Hill' at FrighFest in August. The festival is of the best genre film festivals in the world, and it is such an honor to have this punk-rock fever mind trip of a movie being shown to the most dedicated horror audiences that a filmmaker could possibly have. It is adapted from Nancy Williams novel and is a poignant story of obsession, love, and the terrible consequences of what happens when reality and fantasy blur. It is a tale of the remarkable power of the mind and how it will do anything to protect itself.”
Concourse Media represents worldwide rights and will be presenting the film to domestic distributors surrounding the FrightFest premiere.
Shot on location in Meadville, Pennsylvania — the origin of the real urban legend — Pig Hill follows Carrie (Qualley), a woman haunted by a series of unexplained disappearances. As she investigates, she becomes entangled in the local lore of the “pig people,” uncovering a terrifying truth hidden in generations of myth. Alongside her new friend Andy (West) and her brother Chris (Fernandez), Carrie’s search for answers becomes a desperate fight for survival.
