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.

... View More'VICTOR CROWLEY': Four Stars (Out of Five)The forth film in the popular 'HATCHET' slasher flick series. This one has the maniacal killer Victor Crowley resurrected, by mistake, ten years after the events of the original movie, and he continues to kill more helpless victims (in increasingly creative and horrific ways). It was once again written and directed by series creator Adam Green (who chose not to helm the 3rd installment, only), and it also once again stars Kane Hodder in the titular role. Parry Shen also reprise his role as Andrew Yong (in the lead role this time). It was released in indie theaters, and got mostly positive reviews (from horror critics at least). It's now available on video, and VOD as well, and I enjoyed it (like I have all of it's predecessors). Sole survivor of the Crowley massacres, Andrew Yong (Shen), is promoting a book he wrote at an exclusive book singing, about his traumatizing experiences (although some believe he actually committed the murders himself). It's abruptly interrupted though, and he's rushed off to a charter plane for a new high paying gig. The plane's engine suddenly explodes, and it crashes in the swamp below, right after Victor Crowley (Hodder) is accidentally resurrected. Of course extreme violence and chaos ensues. Like the other installments in the series, the film is incredibly over-the-top violent, and ridiculously bloody, and it's also funny. This one has a little more character development, than the previous sequels, with a lot of sympathy built-up for the Andrew Yong character. Once it gets to the gore though, it's pretty much nonstop. The movie is pretty much exactly what I expected it to be too. It's definitely sure to please fans of the series, and most likely the entire slasher flick genre in general, unless you like a little less comedy mixed in with all of your gore. I really enjoyed it though.
... View MoreInstead 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.
