He's always a riot, just by being himself.
Speaking of acting and the ensemble, it was AWESOME to see Brian Quinn (of Impractical Jokers fame) part of the crew. More than anything, I think this has to do with the acting in this particular ensemble than anything. That said, the schlocky parts contributed to the decline when compared to the previous flicks. While it did come off as a bit cheesy at times, I rather enjoyed these little incidents. This is not a bad thing, as the inclusion of some indirect horror comedy made for an enjoyable addition. First, VC is a bit more schlocky than the preceding three movies. ***No spoilers, and a short and sweet write-up*** The synopses speaks for itself, so I'm assuming folks reading this aren't looking for a paraphrased version of the flick just a quick rundown of the particulars. It's probably not quite as good as its predecessors, but it's still a good watch. In the case of Victor Crowley- also known as Hatchet IV- this pattern does not fit the mold. If lucky enough to make it to a fourth, it's usually under the control of a 2nd or 3rd director & laughable.and not in a comical way. For those chosen few franchises that get to a third film, it's usually a shadow of the original and often barely tolerable. Usually the sequel to a film, with rare exception, is nowhere near as good as the original. If you can't stomach gory efx, this film is definitely not for you. One in particular is worth the price of admission. The cinematography and sets are topnotch. Victor Crowley is loaded with very smart humor, some of it dark, some character-based. If you're making a horror film with humor, as opposed to a horror-themed comedy, it's easy to lose your balance, and too many directors cheapen their films with sophomoric one liners. Green's directorial skills are matched by his writing. Too many to name them all, the entire cast is excellent. Laura Ortiz is adorable as a feisty little sexpot, Dave Sheridan nails the hungry actor wannabe, Parry Shen shows great range. The acting is dead on perfect all around and the casting is sublime. There isn't a weak role in the script and every actor hits just the right tone.
ANDREW CROWLEY DUDE STOP GAME HOW TO
VICTOR CROWLEY could serve as a film school model of how to use sound and how to frame a shot for maximum effect. Those little touches are just part of the tapestry Green weaves, using every weapon in a film maker's arsenal. 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. 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. Adam Green is quite possibly the most talented director working in the horror field today.
