Inspired by the acts of real-life serial killer Robert ‘Willy’ Pickton, Pig Killer looks to be a highly stylized telling of Stockton’s acts, including his history in Canada leading up to his arrest in 2002. Pickton is now recognized as one of Canada’s most prolific serial killers and was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.
