What happens

Long Pigs is a 2007 Canadian comedy-horror mockumentary film about two documentary filmmakers who follow a serial killer who has a taste for cooking with human flesh. The story is conveyed via found footage. The special effects were provided by Chris Bridges, whose other credits include Saw III, 300, and the remake of Dawn of the Dead. The title of the film refers to the phrase "long pig," a term for human flesh in cannibalism lore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
