Written and directed by Adam Green, the man who also wrote and directed Hatchet 1 & 2 (he didn't direct the third but did write the screenplay), as well as the brutal thriller Frozen, Victor Crowley is the return of the aforementioned deformed psychopath who is once again out to kill in the Louisiana swamps. As a huge fan of slasher films in general I actually own the first two Hatchet films and they are enjoyable movies, definitely campy and a little corny as expected, but overall pretty good. The movies are known for the brutal kills and I am looking forward to seeing what Green has up his sleeve this time around. The cast includes Parry Shen, Kane Hodder (as Victor Crowley), Laura Ortiz, and David Sheridan. Hodder is a bit of a horror icon having played Jason Voorhees in a number of Friday the 13th films as well as the new videogame, and he is a busy guy with over 120 acting credits according to his IMDb filmography. Check out the official trailer below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, Victor Crowley:
- During his heartfelt introductions at the Los Angeles and London premieres for this movie, Adam Green cited how his hero Wes Craven's death had effected him so strongly, that it brought him back to his own franchise again, and made him realize that the Hatchet franchise is one of his own biggest contributions to the genre. While Craven's death put the notion of returning to Hatchet in Green's mind, it was another of his heroes, George A. Romero, specifically telling him to make more Hatchet films for the fans, that solidified his decision to make a fourth film in the franchise. Romero passed away just thirty-seven days before the surprise unveiling of this movie on August 22, 2017, and Green stated that this movie would not exist if not for Romero's pep talk assuring him that what he did as a filmmaker mattered, and was needed for the genre
