Pigtown

Pigtown is a rural romantic zombie horror comedy set in the idyllic Finnish countryside. Iida, a long-time animal rights activist, wants to stop breaking into farms, but her radical friend Anja goes too far: she poisons pig feed with a strange black liquid that gradually turns the pigs into bloodthirsty zombies. When an unlucky farmhand gets bitten, the disease spreads to humans. At the same time, Sami, a city boy ashamed of his roots, arrives for a relaxing weekend on his family farm. When he meets Iida at the village festival, sparks fly—until the villagers start turning one by one and village bingo erupts into a zombie bloodbath. Packed with dark humor, blood-splattered fields, eccentric villagers, and weaponized combine harvesters, Pigtown is a rural genre mashup like no other. It blends splatter horror, love story, and sharp satire into an unforgettable cult experience about farming, food, and survival.
