In this twisted adaptation of The Three Little Pigs, “Huff” (Charlie O’Connell) is the big, bad wolf, an abusive stepfather who uses Bible verses to manipulate and abuse his wife and three stepdaughters. On the eve of a big drug deal, Huff’s battered wife secretly gives his stash of drug money to her daughters (the “little piggies”) and tells them to run away and seek better lives for themselves. What follows is an unpredictable chain reaction of rage-induced asthma attacks (yes, this wolf huffs and puffs), violence, and murders as the maniacal Huff pursues the runaways. Brixi (Amber Bollinger), the eldest daughter, emerges as the protagonist, going toe-to-toe with Huff as she tries to protect her sisters and exact vengeance on their beastly stepfather.
