The Butcher Boy 1997
A mischievous chant—“This little piggy laughed all the way home!”—haunts Francie and Joe, who enjoy a typical, playful, fantasy‑filled childhood. Behind the fun, Francie's home is ruled by a violent, alcoholic father and a mother suffering manic depression and suicidal thoughts, imposing heavy pressure on him to grow up. When his world collapses into madness, he fights back with greater insanity, producing dire consequences.
