Pig

A black-garbed killer finishes packing a briefcase, tucking in a deck of cards, a notebook, and a copy of Mr. Pig and Sonny Too. He steps over the bleeding, half-naked body on the floor, then kicks the corpse aside and heads downstairs. He loads the case into a black car and drives off along a deserted road.

From the car, the killer continues through the empty desert, power lines running along the road. He passes a rock outcrop with an inscrutable inscription that looks like ELLE or ELLIE. A nearby sign reads Dead Man's Point, heightening the sense of danger on the silhouette-filled road.

An unidentified man named Hollan, his head wrapped in white bandages, wanders the desert and sits cross-legged by a telephone pole. The driver's car pulls up, and the masked Hollan climbs into the passenger seat. They drive toward a house, the briefcase still in hand.

The car stops at a dilapidated house. The killer leads the masked man by a rope while carrying the briefcase, and they approach the doorway marked with bones and dominoes. Inside, the killer, wearing a pig mask, paces as the captive is brought in.

The camera closes in on the doorway marked 1334, surrounded by dominoes, a crucifix, caution tape, a glove, a knife, and various photographs. Through a broken wall, a pig mask peers from a keyhole in a box of dominoes. The killer, still masked, orchestrates the captivity with cold precision.

The bound victim is hoisted and tied to a rope from the ceiling, then dragged into a cellar. The killer empties the entire briefcase, laying out tools and odd items—pornographic cards, a large metal key, a wig, a chaos-die, a bondage mask, gloves, a chain, a bowie knife, and more. A book titled Why God Permits Evil sits among the belongings, hinting at the killer's motives.

The killer places a hand on the victim's head and pulls away part of the bandage from the eye, exposing a darting gaze and obvious fear. Surrounding the scene lie pliers, knives, scissors, syringes, and other instruments. The camera lingers on the array of implements as the ritual begins to unfold.

Cuts show the killer turning the pages of Why God Permits Evil, revealing graphic art and religious quotes. The victim remains bound to the ceiling, his head still gauzed, while the killer studies the disturbing passages. The stark juxtaposition of sacred text and brutal acts deepens the sense of a larger design.

The killer pours what appears to be blood through a funnel into the victim's mouth via a feeding tube. The victim gags and chokes as liquid slides down, spattering onto his naked torso. The scene emphasizes the ritualistic and grotesque nature of the act.

The killer maintains a calm, methodical rhythm as he manipulates the tools and surroundings. The pig mask remains a constant motif, reinforcing the ritual's eerie symbolism. The camera lingers on the doorway bones, the dominoes, and other symbols as the acts proceed.

The film cuts between the victim's struggle and the killer's composed ritual, suggesting a larger, chilling design behind the violence. Everyday objects—the deck of cards, the Why God Permits Evil book, and a key—take on symbolic meaning. The sequence remains intentionally unresolved, leaving the viewer with a sense of impending doom.

The final images center on the pig mask and the cryptic signs—Dead Man's Point and the bone-marked doorway—hinting at connections between the killer's acts and the surrounding landscape. The desert, the house, and the briefcase are presented as parts of a cold, calculated ritual. The scene ends with an ominous note of what lies beneath the violence.
