Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

intorchard-101 I was so pumped for non stop gore like the second and third one but no this movie. 45 minutes of talking with a little gore at the beginning and then 20 mins of gore near the end. The editing sucked, the score was way too loins and u couldn't even hear the actors. You could even hear the rustling of the mic's ....like wow. I love Adam Green but yeah , this movie was not the best.

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.

J. O. I absolutely adore slasher franchises. I wish they still made Friday the 13th and Elm Street movies every year like they did in the 1980s but nooooooo. It was a long wait for Hatchet 4 (aka "Victor Crowley") but I'm glad the franchise is back. I hope there's a part 5 soon. Next year would be awesome but I'm not holding my breath. Anyway, I love Kane Hodder in the title role and the rest of the cast is clearly having a blast. The tone of this movie is infectious and fun. I smiled ear to ear the entire time. There are a couple of kills that should make any highlight reel of best slasher deaths. I love the characters and dialog. The plot and pacing are perfect. What's not to like?!I know the reviews here are mixed. So what? Look at the reviews and star ratings for almost ANY classic slasher from the 80s and you see the same thing. All the classic Friday the 13th or Elm Street movies score around 5 or 6 stars and have only 50% positive reviews. Nothing new. It's indicative of nothing except what horror fans have always known: We are not in the mainstream. Again, so what? To those who love the Hatchet movies (and we are many) this movie is a welcomed return. May there be many more!

Lin Cooper Loved the first one. 2nd was so-so. 3rd got back on track. Then there's this...Total mess of a movie. I know it's supposed to be over the top and silly, so don't say "she just doesn't get it." I know fully well what it's supposed to be. That doesn't excuse the mess that it is. Some of the acting was fine, but jeeeeezzzeee...tone it down some. At least make some characters likable. Everyone was so obnoxious that you seriously couldn't wait for them to die, and all were embarrassing stereotypes. Thank God the movie was only about 80 minutes long...I couldn't suffer through much more. And obviously no budget...the entire movie was obviously on a stage and setting half of the thing inside a crashed plane didn't help matters. Put Victor to bed and let him rest in peace.
