Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Michael Ledo This is a "so bad it is good film" by design. It is made to look like a 1980's throwback with all the bells and whistles.A group of kids go camping in the woods and there is a slasher. Details of the slasher are reviewed during the opening credits and the cliche camp fire tale. Mike (Charles Sullivan) leads the group along with his exchange student friend Ian (Brandon Raker) the token Brit. Mike brings along his girlfriend Deb (Ruby Larocca). Their relationship is on the outs as he also brings along his latest girlfriend Courtney (Sierra Ferrell) who wears a cheerleaders outfit to go camping because it is a spoof of the 80's genre. Also in the group is Richie (Chris Woodall) Deb's nerdy brother who brings along his robot who is far too human and reveals far too much about Richie. There is also Rachel (Erin Russ) a girl Richie is crazy about.The film include things we remember from 80's films. It has product placement, the weird country store scene, and local band soundtrack. The film had a bad sound system as there appears to be a background noise of a generator for all the night time shots. The robot had a Cadillac emblem glued to its chest which was missing in a few scenes, but the glue marks were still there. They go to Camp "Wood" so they can party and have sex.The film had funny and clever dialogue representing the 80's era. I spent much of the film laughing, especially during the country store scene where writer/director Eamon Hardiman plays a country geek in a "Choose Life" T-shirt. Extras: Director's commentary/ Behind the scenes/ Ian speaks.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Kelly Claire, Erin Russ, Mick Wiseman butt with a C-sock.) Blood, killing, mutilation, forced sex with a chainsaw.

lovecraft231 "Partying, mayhem and gore...80's style." So says the tag-line for "Porkchop", a micro-budget throwback to "kids are killed in the woods" slasher movies from the 80's. Maybe it's because I recently watched "Rabies", which managed to do something new with the backwoods slasher movie, but I found this to be a pretty bad movie all around.The plot goes like this: Deborah (Ruby Larocca), Mike (Charles Sullivan), Chris (Chris Woodall), Ian (Brandon Raker), Courtney (Sierra Ferrell) and Rachael (Erin Russ) go to the woods for sex, drugs and good times. Also, they bring around a goofy talking robot named Elron (voiced by Danny Hicks of "Evil Dead II", "Darkman" and "The Intruder" fame.) Long story short, there's a hulking man wearing a pig-head mask known as Porkchop (Robert Cobb) that has murder on his mind, and you know what goes on from there.While the killer is pretty bad-ass and the kills are gory as hell and usually inventive (with the gore and make-up effects actually looking pretty great), "Porkchop" is pretty bad. In some ways, it kind of reminded me of Drew Rosas' "Blood Junkie" in the fact that it wants so much to be like the slasher movies from the 80's, what with it's 80's fashions, bad hair, bad pop music, etc. However, "Blood Junkie" at least made me laugh. This movie was just annoying, with all of the jokes being deliberately bad. My problem with this is the fact that I hate it when a movie acknowledges that it isn't exactly a good movie, and just goes "f#@k it." Deliberately making bad jokes doesn't excuse anything. In fact, that just makes it worse.In the process, everything else about the movie is just poorly done. Eamon Hardiman directs the whole thing as if it were his first motion picture, and that would be forgiving if it was (it's not.) The entire stretch before the kills start to occur is just a pain to sit through, with actors mugging for the camera and doing next to nothing interesting. Speaking of which, it takes way too long for the kills to start to happen, and by the time they do, you'll hardly be awake. This is a movie that, as I said, wants so much to capture the vibe of 80's slasher movies, but it lacks the most important element: fun. There's hardly anything in this movie that's remotely enjoyable. It just feels like a group of people goofing off with their home video equipment in the woods, and not like the tongue-in-cheek slasher fun-fest it wants to be.If you want to see a fun, 80's style slasher movie-then go watch an actual 80's slasher movie like "The Prowler." It'd be a much better choice than watching a bunch of people play pretend for 92 minutes.

Flow This is the first movie that i grade with 1! 1! And only because there is no 0! Now start reading and read carefully! Look at a trailer, see how this rubbish thing is filmed, and if by any chance whatsoever, dunno how but you still want to check it out, here are the reasons why NOT to do so:1. The camera work: if the trailer looks good, then it is edited like nothing i have ever seen in my life. Rarely does one get to film with a phone and call it "art" but here, this guy got lucky! Really lucky! 2. The acting: there is NONE! That is not acting, they could have read from the scrip directly and it would have looked better. 3. Gore: that is gore? If any of you is truly afraid of ketchup and some expired paint, OK, maybe you will get a kick from this. 4. Dialogue: i can't even begin to describe it.Trust me, i could go on forever, seriously, first, CHECK THE TRAILER OUT, look how it is filmed, I DO BELIEVE IN INDEPENDENT MOVIES, especially horror, BUT IT IS JUST NOT THE CASE! Watch an old Scooby Doo episode, by far, faaaar better than this! Dear God i pray that you read my comment first and not the other one, probably posted by someone who was involved in the making of the "movie"!

Ted Brown Porkchop from Independent Entertainment and Alternative Cinema is a well-done satire homage to classic low budget 80s slasher cinema. Directed and produced by Eamon Hardiman, a native of Charleston, West Virginia, a location not to far from The Liberal Dead's main headquarters in eastern Kentucky. The film revolves around a group of six young campers and a robot that retreat into the backwoods of West Virginia for a weekend of booze, drugs, and wild sex inside the abandoned Camp Wood. Soon, a weekend of debauchery turns into a fight for survival when the campers are hunted by a chainsaw-wielding psychopath in a pig mask looking to spill the blood of all those who roam into his territory. The film stars Ruby LaRocca, who readers may remember from Evan Makrogiannis' The Super, Erin Russ (Devil Sister), Ford Austin (Dahmer Vs. Gacy) and Brian Gunnoe. Porkchop will be hitting DVD on December 6th and digital markets.A lot of filmmakers these days try to recreate the look and feel of classic grind house and 80s era film, but often fall short of really capturing the true look and feel. That is not the case with Porkchop; this film pays very close attention to every minute detail when it comes to creating an authentic low budget 80s horror experience. From a opening featuring an 80s thrash metal theme song that shares the title of the film, to the clever use of 80s products and pop culture references, it is hard to believe this is not some lost film that has been discovered from the era. There is two scenes in particular that really made me take notice of this, both featuring a duo of backwoods store clerks, one of whom is reading an issue of the Alf comic at one point and later in the film an actual classic issue of Fangoria Magazine from the proper era.I found myself constantly laughing during my viewing and remembering all the hours I spent watching films of this nature as a kid. The film does a great job at creating a high level of nostalgia for old-school horror fans that grew up with horrible acting and micro budget special effects. This is most definitely the perfect type of movie to watch with a group of friends while munching out and cracking wise. One of my favorite aspects of the film is the fact it does not take it self to serious, this is where many attempts to recreate the feeling of a classic 80s slasher start to fail, people seem to forget that a lot of 80s horror was very campy in nature and notorious for poking fun at itself. With that said keep in mind that Porkchop features one of the best robot kill scenes known to man.My only complaint with this flick is it really needed more gore; this is the only factor that held it back from being the perfect recreation of the genre and era. While there are some fairly gory kills, it really could have been amped up and in my opinion should have been. The gorier kills do all look good considering the filmmaker's dedication in keeping things legitimately 80s feeling. There is one scene, towards the very end of the film involving a foot stomp that I must admit put a smile across my sick twisted face. However, other than this minor complaint, I really had a blast watching Porkchop in the wee hours of the morning as if I was a mere boy sneaking up to watch horror films on HBO once again.If you want to take a trip back to the days of when Wizard Video, Paragon, and Super Video filled your local mom and pop video store shelves with over sized VHS boxes, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Porkchop then sitting down with some friends for a night of campy fun. - The Liberal Dead
