A Horror Fan's Delight (by mojoguzzi-879-68498) |
Adam Green is quite possibly the most talented director working in the horror field today. His films are always loads of fun, with subtle touches of humor like the hillbilly in Hatchet 1 drinking from a plastic urinal bottle, offhanded details that are easily missed if you don't pay attention. Of course there's plenty of not so subtle humor as well, especially in the Hatchet films which are Grand Guignol at its most extreme.Those little touches are just part of the tapestry Green weaves, using every weapon in a film maker's arsenal. VICTOR CROWLEY could serve as a film school <more> |
Victor Crowley creates great new sense of horror is excellent (by 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 <more> |
Finally our Lord is resurrected! (by alwaysrit) |
Please do not read it if you do not worship Lord Victor Crowley. Have been waiting for aeons for the my Lord Crowley to come back to life and finally it happened. Our Lord has been a victim of sadistic injustice and inhuman atrocities that resulted in the sad demise of his father. So it is the need of the hour that he takes revenge - revenge fraught with guts and gore. Love you and venerate you my Lord Victor Crowley. He shall keep rising from the dead. |
Fun, pure and simple (by rocknrelics) |
I like the entire series of films because they don't take themselves too seriously, are well acted a major plus for me , loads of gore that makes you go '; and they look well made too. What's not to like... |
Brutal creative deaths n plenty of laughs. Fans of the series will love this. (by Fella_shibby) |
Saw this on a rented dvd. Waiting to buy a copy of it. Have all the 3 parts in my dvd collection. Fans of the series will definitely enjoy this but those who havnt seen the series will also enjoy this as it has plenty of laughs, brutal n bloody deaths n claustrophobic atmosphere. Adam Green shud be applauded for making such an entertaining brutal slasher n considering its low budget, he did a mighty fine job. There is something sinister about horror films set in the bayou, especially Louisiana n Green made full use of the settings. I had complained in my review of the first part about the no <more> |
Swamped with blood. (by 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 <more> |
Enjoyable if slightly flawed effort (by kannibalcorpsegrinder) |
Having survived the original massacre, a former paramedic finds himself in a group of people who crashlands in the same swamp with the deformed killer he escaped previously as they resurrect him for another rampage in his home swamp and must rely on his experiences to get away alive.This is yet another enjoyable entry in the franchise. Among the best aspects of this one is the way this one goes into dealing with the backstory to the previous entries. Not only does this one take great consideration in playing up the connection to the past involving the decade-long journey by the one character <more> |
