Plot

edit

A film director is blacklisted and is barred from directing films, forcing him to go into directing commercials. His actress leaves him to pursue a career with other actors. Whilst this is occurring, film directors are being killed off one by one, with their heads severed and the word 'pig' imprinted on their foreheads. The film director wonders why the serial killer didn't come after him.
