Frequently Un-asked Questions


What’s with this ‘Porkhead’ business? Well, it’s something I invented when I was thirteen. What can I say? Guess my sense of humour never matured. Anyway, it fits, whether you want to call me pigheaded or a dickhead. Just so long as no-one declares a Jihad on me.

Why horror movies? Why not? They’re funny and brooding and scary and horrible and stupid and intelligent; a horror movie can be anything you want it to be. It’s a much more versatile genre than its given credit for, and that’s why I love it. A good horror film can be incredibly challenging and thought-provoking, which is, really, the only thing worth watching. But I do review other stuff on our sister website.

Why reviewing? Those who can’t, review. One day, I fully intend to make a horror film of my own. Until then, I’ll bitch about other people’s. Sorry, but bad horror offends me. It’s a genre I’m passionate about, and I’ll be damned if Rob Zombie’s gonna ruin the Halloween franchise without me saying anything about it.

What’s your favourite scary movie? Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead, possibly. Or maybe The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original version, obviously).

Do you like anything that isn’t horror? You bet. I enjoy movies of all genres. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was fucking awesome, for instance.

Do you have to swear so much? Porkhead’s Horror Review Hole contains a lot of bad language. And I’m not talking about double-negatives, motherfucker.

Do you accept screeners? Yes. But be warned, I take ages to watch them, and I’ll only review it if I can think of something to say.
