Young woman who was committed to a mental institution after killing her father when he tried to rape her, breaks free and ends up in a small town where she takes up with an older farmer who has pigs that like to eat human flesh. Lurid, at time uncomfortably so, film about the weird things that weird people do. I'm not sure what to think about the film. It's a strange little film that seems to be strange for strange's sake. I was watching the film and thought a good amount of the film had run only to find that it had only been about 30 minutes. Its creepy because of the odd people involved. What do I think of it? Its okay. A bit odder than I wanted for the late night viewing. I'm curious why this was paired with the Rock Hudson Embryo on the DVD I had since other than being horror films they have little in common. Going from one to the other made for a weird segue. Worth a look for anyone who wants to see off beat horror films, anyone else should probably look elsewhere

Lynn Webster (Toni Lawrence, Marc's real-life daughter) is sent to an asylum for shock therapy after killing her father when he tried to rape her. She escapes, steals a car and ends up in a small farming town where weird truck stop owner Mr. Zambrini (Marc Lawrence) gives her a waitress job for room and board. The relationship ends up working out nicely for both -- Lynn goes on a killing spree after almost getting raped again, while Zambrini covers her ass by hacking up the bodies and feeding them to his flesh-craving pet pigs he keeps pinned up behind the restaurant.Familiar character actor Marc Lawrence made his directorial debut (and as 'F.A. Foss,' also his screenplay debut) with this very cheap and dark-looking, but fairly well-acted and sometimes creepy, low-budget backwoods horror flick. It laid unreleased for about 12 years, but I've seen worse.

This movie is about as simple as it gets. Basic, simplistic: the cinematic equivalent of a pair of white socks."Daddy's Deadly Darling" (or "Pigs", as I know it) deals with a psychotic young woman who escapes the asylum and works at a restaurant where the owner keeps man-eating pigs in his back yard and feeds people to them on occasion. This isn't a movie plot: it's a bad (like early '80s SNL bad) comedy skit in search of laughs. Sound scary? Moody, at best. Well-written? Like a Pauly Shore movie (and only HALF as entertaining). Acting? WHAT acting?Is there anything at all about this movie I can recommend? Well, you can buy the tape and record a couple of episodes of "Friends" on it. THEN you'd have something scary on tape.No stars. Nothing. I hate this movie and you should too, if you love real horror movies.Oink-oink, indeed.

Daddy's Deadly Darling (PIGS) is one of those films you will remember forever if you see it only once. About a "Deadly" girl who meets a deranged old guy who has a group of wild Pigs that eat people!! Not a gore fest but a very interesting and effective film. The few murder sequences are shocking and the script and whole concept of this movie is BIZARRE! Rent the movie because you know you have NOTHING BETTER TO DO!! It took up 90 minutes of my life and was well worth it!!
