There are no words to really put this film into context. Adam Green has a knack for making these feel more outrageous than really are. I think he has an ingenious quality and could really make more prolific films. One review said the film dragged until the first kill (like 45) minutes in, this is completely false as it occurs in first 10 minutes. Standardized plot again centering around Honey Island in the Louisiana Bayou, Perry Shen who portrays Andrew the sole survivor of the last film is the center. It is to take place 10 years after the massacre. More blood, violent deaths and again a different looking Crowley. I did enjoy the franchise or I would have not watched them all. I have hopes that it will continue as it leaves the door wide open in the credits for more gore. I give the film a 4/10 but the complete series I will say 5.5/10

I can't understand the bad reviews for this film. You know you ain't getting a production of the likes of The Ten Commandments. What you get is a good ol' fashioned slice 'n' dice flick with plenty of gore,some great one liners and yes,you see a pair of titties. A win,win situation for me. It''s a fun movie. ENJOY!

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!

My God did I liked the Hatched franchise and when rumours came out that the next one was going to be made I was happy and looking forward to see it. Don't know why it isn't called Hatchet IV but hey, Vicor Crowley is alive.Seen it I still don't know what I have to think about it. Where the franchise was made for the gore this one here do offer gore again but it also has a lot of overacting and stupid humour. And the humour used in the beginning I could dig, the co-pilot thing I really found it funny, but after a while the humour took over from the horror. Not a thing we expect from this kind of flicks. Still, it do has pure gore just for the gore of it but the stupid situations and humour teared it down. But hey, the worst in the franchise but the open ending makes you want more...
Gore 5/5
Nudity 0,5/5
Effects 4/5
Story 2/5
Comedy 0,5/5
