Victor Crowley

Adam Green, Parry Shen and Kane Hodder return for this 4th Hatchet outing and like the others it's bloody fun. Andrew (Parry Shen) the sole survivor of the previous massacre is a pseudo celebrity now and has been offered a large sum of money to do an interview at the site of the murders. On arrival, you know the drill. With a fantastic cast including horror legends Tiffany Shepis, Felissa Rose (Who is on the best form I've ever seen her) and Tyler "Michael Myers" Mane I was happy with the roster. Also notable were Laura Ortiz and Dave "Deputy Doofy" Sheridan. Less predictable than you'd expect, mindless gory slasher content and a great script loaded with some fantastic comedy. Sure the Hatchet movies are hardly groundbreaking but they're enjoyable throwbacks and I appreciate that. Without any spoilers I have to say based on the post credits scene my desire for a 5th movie has risen, make it happen Mr Green! If you liked the original movies then you'll get a kick out of this, if splatterhouse type movies aren't your thing then best avoid. The Good: Looks great Follows on from the previous movies well Decent cast Neat cameo appearance The Bad: One scene was needlessly grim Ultimately it is just more of the same

Keeping this simple and short, IMO the worst of the all the previous three, however, If you go into this with low expectations, you find it at least watchable. Think they've run out of ideas on what to do with the Victor Crowley character and it showed in this movie.

Instead of copying 30 years of spoof b b grade horrors Adam Green captures all the essence of an excellent horror with delicate comedic touches. He combines the two genres without weaking the script, instead every line, every scene is masterfully planned. Adam Green isn't out for horrifying scare, which is refreshing as he almost revolutionises his own genre. His actor selection, and scence progression never leave a dull moment or confusion. Dave Sheridan steals the show and his perforamce is worthy of all little momemts you may miss. In fact Green aloows every actor/actress to express and explore a personality unusual in horrror but still maintain the horror factor in the creative newly created Hatchett character victor crowley. iIt is a pity and this is my only spoiler so don't read if you plan eatch still that these great characters except two all die and therefore cannot be reprised in the next episodes of Hatchett. No one knows how Green, the director and writer plans to continue the series but maybe by reinventing the scanrios is part of its charms. Don't except big scares but excellent film making in a new twist on the horror theme. Dave Sheridan's character will be sorely missed but two important characters do survive. 9/10 Keeep going Adam Green and ignore any bad reviews you construct a masterful art that crosses genres.
