Lou Ferrigno Set To Play Cannibal Pig Farmer In New Horror Flick 'THE HERMIT'

The Original “Incredible Hulk” is heading to the horror genre. That’s right folks, Lou Ferrigno has just been announced as the main protagonist in a new horror film entitled ‘The Hermit.’ Did we mention he’s a cannibal? Yeah, that’s pretty awesome in our book.

Variety reports that Lou Ferrigno will be playing a “murderous, cannibalistic pig farmer” in The Hermit from director Salvatore Sclafani, the film’s title character.

In the film,

“Eric and Lisa, who are both 19, go to a resort, venture off trail, stumble across a farm, go in, see animal heads hanging from the wall” and encounter Ferrigno’s Hermit.

“The Hermit’s story is that he’s been a loner,” the producer notes. “His mother protected him; kept him in the forest. He doesn’t speak well, because they are kind of feral people.”

What does this hermit do with his victims? He turns them into jerky of course!

“Most people are surprised that I’ve never really entered the horror space before now,” Ferrigno said in a statement to Variety this week. “When I was a kid I was fascinated with the monsters of the time like Dracula and Frankenstein. So I am really excited and honored to be working with such a great team on something that will for sure excite fans. The character I am playing is unique and will give an updated twist to those monsters I grew up with.”
