2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Vivekmaru45 This fourth installment following hatchet 3(2013), is among the worst horror films I have seen. The script is pointless and the special effects compared the previous three movies are a joke. All of Green's movies have some female nudity and sex scenes and this one is no exception. Plot in brief: The survivor of the Crowley massacre Andrew Yong (Parry Shen) appears on his ex-wife, Sabrina's, show The Sabrina Show, to promote his new book about the events. Sabrina announces an exclusive book signing to take place later that day. Andrew's manager Kathleen (Felissa Rose) gets him a deal that will gain him almost a million dollars if he returns to the place where the massacre occurred with a filming crew accompanying them. Watch the film to find out what happens next...Verdict: the previous three Hatchet movies were all well written and the special effects and casting were good. This is the worst horror I have seen and I would not recommend it to anyone. The casting is the worst and Parry Shen doesn't manage to give a good performance as he did in the previous movies. The rest of the cast is awful and pointless. Kane Hodder who plays the character Victor Crowley returns for his fourth appearance. Kane's acting is professional but the dull script does nothing to enhance his character. The background sound-effects are okay and the photography is also decent. I thought this horror film would delve more into the back-story of Victor Crowley but I was disappointed that this film was just a cheap gimmick to earn some quick cash. I will never watch another movie directed by Adam Green again.

BA_Harrison The opening for the fourth film in the Hatchet series takes place in 1964 and sees a newly engaged couple investigate a strange noise in the swamp, only to be brutally butchered by the bloodthirsty ghost of deformed maniac Victor Crowley. Packing in as much humour as it does horror, this scene sets the tone for the whole movie: equal parts laughs and gore, with no-one safe from the supernatural killer.The rest of the film is set in the present-ten years after the last Victor Crowley incident-with Andrew Yong (Parry Shen), the only survivor of the Honey Island Swamp massacre, trying to make some money promoting his book about his encounter with the hatchet wielding horror. When his agent tells him that he has been offered $1m to return to the swamp for a TV show, Andrew reluctantly agrees, but wishes he had stayed at home when his plane crashes and Crowley appears to pick off the survivors.A hugely entertaining horror comedy romp from grisly start to blood-drenched finish, Victor Crowley is the best Hatchet movie since the original, with not a sniff of Danielle Harris to blight proceedings (I know she has her loyal fans, but I find her quite annoying as a 'scream queen'). The film-both written and directed by the series' creator, Adam Green-has some genuinely hilarious moments (the man asking for an autograph on his junk and the captain of the plane speaking to his passengers over the tannoy are priceless) but Green ensures that hardcore gore-hounds are kept happy with sporadic bursts of extreme violence, the always diligent Crowley taking the time to thoroughly dismember and mutilate his victims.8/10.

expostfacto-85100 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.

Michael_Elliott Victor Crowley (2017) ** (out of 4)Ten years after the event of the first film, survivor Andrew (Parry Shen) is on the talk show circuit talking about his ordeal. His publicist (Felissa Rose) talks him into going back into the swamp and discussing the issue there. Sure enough he agrees and before long they're battling Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder) again.This here is the fourth film in the HATCHET series and no one knew it was coming. Director Adam Green shocked the horror community when some fans showed up to what they thought was a screening of the first movie but it turned out to be this instead. I must admit that I was really looking forward to this movie but it sadly turned out to be a major disappointment.There are all sorts of issues with this movie but we'll start with the screenplay. The entire group of characters are just so over-the-top and obnoxious that I really couldn't wait to see them killed off. The characters were extremely annoying and one couldn't help but grow tired of them. Even worse is the fact that there's really not too much that happens. The plane carrying everyone crashes in the swamp and the majority of the movie takes place on the plane with the characters scared to leave it because of who is outside.It seems that this film was shot with an even smaller budget than the previous three movies and perhaps this was why so much of the action (or non-action if you will) takes place on the plane. Another thing that really hampers this one is some truly awful CGI effects. Just take a look at the first murder and it looks like you're watching a movie that was produced for YouTube. Yes, the CGI effects are that embarrassing. The actual practical effects are a lot better and thankfully there is some rather gory violence thrown throughout the film but certainly not enough to save it.VICTOR CROWLEY is a really disappointing movie that really doesn't work on any level. While you're watching it you stick with it in hopes that it finally kicks into high gear but before you know it the film is over. When looking back on the film it's even more disappointing.
