Killer Pickton
2005
Killer Pickton is a 2005 American horror film loosely based on the crimes of Canadian pig farmer Robert Pickton.
The movie was filmed in New Hampshire and directed by Ulli Lommel. It was co-produced and co-written by Ulli Lommel and Jeff Frentzen. Frentzen portrayed the killer, herein called "Billy Pickton", using the stage name Curtis Graan.
Killer Pickton became controversial when its planned 2006 release in Australia was delayed after the government of Canada put pressure on the Australian distributor, Peacock Films Ltd., to pull the movie from its release schedule for legal reasons, citing Canada's ban on publishing details of the alleged crimes prior to Pickton's trial.[1] The movie was later released in Australia after Pickton was convicted of murder,[2] and as of 2009, remained listed in the distributor's catalog.[3]
Although Lions Gate Entertainment had acquired Killer Pickton for DVD release in North America and marketing materials were created for the release,[4] it remains unavailable in North America due to the legal problems of distributing the movie in Canada.
