Fairly predictable story about a runaway who takes a job at a pig farm. It's honestly more nasty than anything else - quite a mean-spirited horror, and I include the protagonist in that. Yes, Nina's new employer is absolutely evil, but when she's huddled in a laundromat without any food or any money, and said employer offers said job, the first thing Nina does is make nasty comments to herself about the other woman's appearance, and the narrative itself hammers pretty hard on the "fat is evil" trope. There are a few genuinely disturbing scenes, but it's not what I'd call an enjoyable horror.
