Directed by Eamon Hardiman
Starring Sam Qualiana, Angela Pritchett and Rob Cobb
Run Time: 71 minutes

When young Simon Robertson moves with his family to a new town, he thinks the biggest peril will be the local high school bullies. Unfortunately, Simon’s new friend Meg informs him that the town has a much darker secret: a body count stretching into the hundreds- courtesy of Porkchop, a deranged serial killer in a pig mask. And even worse, Simon discovers the house his family has moved into belongs to the angry oinker. When the madman resurfaces, Simon, Meg and the rest of the high school kids are in for one hell of a night, as their party gets crashed and one by one they are taken out, with a post-hole digger, bong, tiki torch, chainsaw and basically anything this guy can get his hands on.

Movie Review: Porkchop (2011)

Over the years the "Backwoods" horror subgenre have brought many a cult film fan some fine entertainment without having to pack up any camping gear or eat dogs and beans off a fire. Rituals and Just Before Dawn come to mind as being top-notch representations; we've also had no-budget SOV schlock like  Back Woods and Cannibal Campout that aren't quite the most polished but bring out their own unique charm. Eamon Hardiman's Porkchop is much like the latter.
