Two old mates, one wild night, and a bottle stuck in the worst possible place.
Pig Boy is that kind of short film you’d never recommend to your parents but would absolutely send to your best friend with a message saying, “You have to see this insanity.” It starts with two Aussie blokes, Dylan and Steve, waking up after what was clearly a disastrous night of beer, drugs, and questionable decisions. The only problem? Dylan has somehow managed to get a glass bottle stuck on his—well, let’s just say—his most personal appendage.
From there, things escalate in the only direction they can: downward. The two friends try to deal with the situation in the world’s most awkward hangover rescue mission. Between panic, crude jokes, and genuine horror, their friendship is put to the test in ways no one should ever experience sober. There’s yelling, there’s denial, and there’s even a moment where you’re not sure if you should laugh or gag.
But then comes the *real* problem: Crystal. The woman from last night. She’s not just asleep—she’s dead. And now our heroes are standing over a corpse, trying to pull a bottle off a penis while avoiding jail time. I told you it escalates.
Director Ashleigh Hanley clearly knows her way around black comedy. The pacing is sharp, the dialogue filthy but clever, and the chemistry between Rupert Raineri and Francis Mourman is pure chaotic energy. They bicker, panic, and improvise in that perfect way only old friends can—when everything’s falling apart but no one wants to take responsibility.
Despite the absurd premise, Pig Boy isn’t just gross-out humor. There’s something weirdly human about it: the way mistakes pile up, how fear turns to laughter, and how friendship can survive even the most humiliating morning-after scenarios. It’s outrageous, yes—but also brilliantly written and performed. Think *Weekend at Bernie’s* meets *Hangover*, but with an Australian accent and far fewer boundaries.
It’s short, shocking, and hysterical. And like the bottle in question, once it’s on your mind—you just can’t get it off.
