Thema: Hatchet - Victor Crowley

Sachen gibt's... Da hat Adam Green einfach so in den letzten beiden Jahren heimlich eine Fortsetzung gedreht...

One of the coolest PR moves in recent memory was when Lionsgate screened The Woods for Comic-Con horror fans and it turned out to be Blair Witch. Now, Dark Sky Films and Hatchet director Adam Green have similarly pulled a fast one on lucky fans celebrating the film’s 10 year anniversary tonight at Hollywood’s ArcLight Cinema.

EW has confirmed that Green just screened the secretly filmed Hatchet reboot/sequel Victor Crowley and that it will begin a Nationwide road show this coming October. Developed and shot in secret for over two years, the slasher reboot made a surprising debut tonight at the “Hatchet 10th Anniversary Celebration.”

Set a decade after the events of the series’ first three films, Victor Crowley reunites Hatchet regulars Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th 7 – X’s Jason Voorhees) and Parry Shen (Better Luck Tomorrow).

In the film, we discover that Shen’s lone survivor Andrew Yong has spent over a decade claiming that local legend Victor Crowley was responsible for the deaths of the forty-nine people killed in the original trilogy of films. Yong’s allegations have been met with widespread disbelief, but when a twist of fate puts him back at the scene of the tragedy, Crowley is mistakenly resurrected and Yong must face the bloodthirsty ghost from his past.

“The only survivor that was ever found was Perry Shen’s character Andrew Yong,” Green told EW in an interview. “Now, ten years, later, he’s kind of become a little bit of a celebrity. At one point he’s compared to ‘the OJ Simpson of Honey Island Swamp’ because most people do not buy his story, but he got off because there was no evidence that he had done it. So, some people love him, a lot of people hate him, and now he’s written a book, which he is promoting on the tenth anniversary of the events of 2007. He is convinced to do one final interview back at the scene of the massacre, where he has never returned. Simultaneously to him going back there with this camera crew, that’s going to interview him, there is something else happening that brings back a little certain somebody.”

Victor Crowley’s cast also features Laura Ortiz (2006’s The Hills Have Eyes), Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie), and Brian Quinn (truTV’s “Impractical Jokers”).

The film is also screening at the upcoming FrightFest Festival in London. In October, Green will embark on a “Victor Crowley Road Show” during which he will introduce the film at special one-night screening events across the country. A full schedule of screenings and additional release information will follow.

Hatchet - Victor Crowley
Ich finde es ja erstaunlich, dass man hier im Grunde den gleichen Film zum vierten Mal serviert bekommt. Teil 4 ist noch alberner, in einzelnen Momente wieder ordentlich ruppig und letzten Endes überflüssig, aber dennoch ganz unterhaltsam. Man merkt einfach jede Sekunde, dass Adam Green ganz genau weiß, was für'n trashigen Schmarn er abgeliefert hat. Ich mag die Reihe und konnte auch hiermit etwas anfangen, aber gut ist natürlich anders. Für Fans sehenswert, wobei der Film absolut nichts neues bietet.
