“The pigs. Look, they’re coming out,” she shrieked. “Oh, sweet Christ. The pigs!!”

Not to mention that they're on drugs. And collaborating with the geese. And the collies. And the sheep. Even the cows.

I can't believe Grady Hendrix only gave this two stars -- it was a total banger! Now Valancourt needs to reissue the sequel, copies currently go for $395 on Amazon.

Review to come.

All the livestock on a British farm goes insanely people-hungry when strange chemicals end up in the water.

Old-fashioned 80's horror fun. The sex was ridiculous to the point of disgusting (incest, seriously?) so the trick is to skip three or four pages ahead anytime it enters the story. Outside of that, you have several people getting killed horrifically by everything from dogs to cows to -of course - the PIGS!

Gory nonsense but at the same time a lot of fun!

It was great, other than the incest.
