Hatchet Movie Review: Is Victor Crowley the Next Icon of Horror?

The movie Hatchet, written and directed by Adam Green and set in Louisiana’s bayou (during Mardi Gras) is about a GROTESQUE LOOKING homicidal maniac named Victor Crowley, portrayed by Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th) who goes on a killing spree for reasons I thought, from a story development standpoint were implausible. After all we’re talking Hollywood here, so who needs a reason (a plausible one that is, or at least one that we the audience is willing to accept as plausible) to rip a man’s spine from his body while he lies on his stomach screaming in agony?

Not a bad way to start a movie though. Evidently, that’s what Adam Green thought. As our story begins a man and his father are in a fishing boat in what looked like a secluded area when the man stands up and begins relieving himself into the water. His father, played by the great Robert Englund takes issue with his son’s sudden “call to nature”. The son then asks if they can pull the boat over so he could finish. Upon doing so the son goes off to finish ”his business”, leaving his father alone.

He then returns to discover his father lying of the ground literally beside himself. The man had been SAVAGELY mutilated including decapitation. The son as you would imagine screams in absolute horror. The killer then appears, knocks the son to the ground and proceeds to FILLET him (tearing his spine from his body) after which he SEVERS the man’s lower body from his upper torso, using nothing but his bare hands, all while the man SCREAMS in absolute agony. My mouth literally was agape when I saw this.

When a horror movie begins with such a SAVAGE display of stomach churning HOMICIDAL MANIA, one thing is certain, each subsequent killing (if there is to be any more) must be worse than those previously shown and that is exactly what happens in this movie. So knowing this I on one hand, knew I was in for a hell of a ride. But on the other hand what I wasn’t able to gather from the opening was whether that ride would be a good one.

In my opinion, I would have to say that Hatchet is not very good movie. But honestly how many horror movies have that distinction? Adam Green does however try to give it his best shot, for one he chooses a great title for the movie, and a good location that together (for whatever its worth) make for a great movie poster. He then looks to firmly affix his leading character Victor Crowley in our collective consciousness in the same way some of the other horror movie icons have come to reside.

What I did however like about this movie was the director’s decision to cast three of the genre’s great actors in various roles, paying homage not only to the actors themselves, but also some of the roles to which they made famous. As we mentioned Kane Hodder plays the “GENETICALLY CHALLEGED” Victory Crowley. Tony Todd (of Candy Man fame) had a very small cameo appearance along with the aforementioned Robert Englund who consistently amazes me with the depth and breath of his acting ability.
And now for the reasons I didn’t care for this movie.

Even though Victor Crowley was said (in the movie) to be born severely disfigured he was way too ugly, at least for my taste. I know what you’re thinking. Where is it written that the killer in any movie, horror movie or otherwise should be pleasing to the eye? And you’re right. But have you seen this guy? He looks like a lab experiment gone wrong. If there was any truth to the saying “if looks could kill”, even in a horror flick where there is no shortage of killing (at least not in this one), one look from this guy would be all it would take.

One mistake (in judgment) I believe that the director made was his decision to include a specific character in the movie that we’ve all seen in many dramatic situations before, regardless of the type of movie. You know the character that has become a cliché? The character to which I make reference to in Hatchet is a female character that happens to be blond, and oh by the way is DUMB as dishwater, which is no exaggeration. Its no way you can watch this movie and not be absolutely dumbfounded by what comes out of this woman’s mouth.

I also didn’t care too much for any of the other central characters or their dialogue as well. One character played by Dione Richmond, apparently cast to provide a comedic element, was at times comical and at most irritating. Richmond clearly inserted, as the “token black”, in my opinion, was not needed in this movie.

If I were to compare Hatchet with some other horror movies that I’ve seen, I would have to give it an average rating. But as for you, if you like seeing BLOOD and when I say blood I mean COPIOUS amounts of it together with a heaping helping of T-N-A thrown in for good measure, and aren’t too terribly turned off at the sight of the occasional poor attempt by the director in portraying blood splatter that looked as if the blood was thrown up against a tree then this movie is for you.

Hatchet is without a doubt one of the most bloodiest “Slasher” films to date. And from what I hear the body bag count will only grow in the next installment.

When one thinks of films before 1970, there’s a certain stigma that comes with them; stilted and theatrical acting, an old fashion way of speaking, and for whatever reason everything seems void of color. But if you give these films a chance, you’ll often find films that deal with modern themes, modern direction, and even modern acting that would easily fit in with films of the 2000s.

There were a handful of actors who bridged the gap between classical acting and modern acting; namely Marlon Brando, Montgomery Cliff, and James Dean. But even before those talented actors came on the scene, there was a whole preexisting generation: Claude Rains, Lon Chaney Sr., and, of course, Boris Karloff. These actors were the equivalent of our generation’s Gary Oldman, Daniel Day Lewis, and Johnny Dep.

It’s not unlikely for an actor these days to gain or lose weight, undergo some sort of procedure, or rely heavily on make-up and costuming for a role. In fact, it seems to be rewarded by the Academy. And why not? It’s exciting, and often times inspiring to see the amount of talent and devotion involved in creating such a character. Someone had to lay the groundwork, set the standards, raise the bar for these modern actors to reach. Enter Boris Karloff

Mr. Karloff, much like Chaney, was known for his total emersion into a wide variety of physically different characters. Whether a simple trick with make-up, or slightly changing the way he carried himself, the change between characters was completely defining.

Boris Karloff His most famous role as the Monster in Frankenstein has become more than a pop culture icon, but rather an image that is transferred from generation through generation through birth. Karloff was so convincing as the Monster that it’s hard to believe that he was a very sophisticated London born gentleman. Coming in at a slightly above average 5’11”, with only the help of some shoe lifts and a masterful carriage, he managed to convince movie watchers that he was the eight-foot tall savage creature.

Obviously there is more to acting than changing your physicality. I turn your attention to the sequel to Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein. It isn’t so much a horror film (which it is,) or a horror-comedy (which it also is,) but a coming-of-age tale. In the first film the Monster was born, in the second one, the Monster develops an understanding of the world around him. What Karloff does with a character with such a limited vocabulary and restricted comprehension of his environment is astounding.

Frankenstein

Unfortunately Karloff was so great as the Monster that he was pigeonholed for the rest of his career, despite his endless talent. Even so, he made due with what was given to him, proving again and again that his skill was ahead of its time. One can point to almost any of his films to see such a diverse body of work, despite most of it being within the horror genre.

Compare his otherworldly performance as Hjalmar Poelzig in The Black Cat against his Jekyll and Hyde type character in The Haunted Strangler. Compare his militant and intelligent General Nikolas Pherides in Isle of the Dead to his mute brute in The Old Dark House. Compare his other iconic performance as Im-Ho-Tep in The Mummy versus his thieving pauper in Val Lewton’s Body Snatchers. Karloff was capable of playing all walks of life, and I would argue in some ways even more so than the best actors of today.

What his biggest talent was as an actor though, wasn’t his physical transformation, which is absolutely something to behold, but the sincerity of the depths he reached within his characters. Unlike some actors today, Karloff’s make-up wasn’t just a mask to conceal the actor, but key to unlock a different human. Each of his roles brought out a different perspective of darkness, and Karloff rarely repeated himself.

Nearly seventy years since the beginning of his career, Karloff’s talent and iconic status hasn’t faded. It still feels relevant, and untouchable. Even a brilliant actor like DeNiro couldn’t dislodge Karloff’s association with the word Frankenstein. Certainly if Karloff lived in this era, he would be hailed as one of the best actors around, probably showered with more Oscar nominations than Meryl Streep.

For movie lovers who haven’t found their way into classical Hollywood films yet, I suggest starting with any Karloff movie. It will act as a unique, entertaining, and easy transition from modern cinema into the walls of cinema history.

Child’s Play—the use of dolls in horror movies

“Child’s play” was a horror movie that came out in the 80’s at a time when most of the movies that were being produced in Hollywood were not just horror movies but “slasher films” most of which were nothing more than low-budget “GrindHouse” fare. And like many of its contemporaries, although not a “slasher film” Child’s play in retrospect was an average film at best.

The movie is about a doll named “Chucky” that comes to life after it is possessed with the spirit of a harden criminal named Charles Lee Ray the infamous "Lakeshore Strangler" as he is so named in the movie. The doll later goes on to become, should I say, quite the “little terror”.

Despite its flawed story the producers of Child’s Play tried to capitalize on the brilliant use of “dolls” in other horror movies in order to make the story work. The most recent example of this was the sinister looking doll used to inspire fear in the “Saw” franchise. Fortunately that’s where the similarities between the two movies end.

“Saw”

The doll in the movie, as you remember doesn’t do any of Jigsaw’s bidding as far as killing or torturing and although inanimate except for when starring in many of his “home movies” which he leaves for the “viewing pleasure” of this victims, the doll is quite disturbing nonetheless. Its something about seeing that doll sitting in a chair, its mouth seemingly moving on its own, to the voice of one very creepy sounding Tobin Bell who plays the homicidal maniac Jigsaw, along with the movie’s music playing in the background, the combination of the various elements leaves you chilled to the bone.

I’m not sure if there were too many other instances in motion picture history where a message is delivered on screen with as much unsettling and horrific impact as it was the first time the writers of Saw initiated the clever use of a doll in this movie.

“The Trilogy of Terror”

Another example of the effective use of a doll on screen was in a movie I saw when I was all of 9 or 10 years old. The movie was called The Trilogy of Terror. Although the premise of the first two stories escapes me, the final installment, I won’t easily forget.

Karen black plays a woman who while out shopping comes across this little “warrior” doll that she apparently decides will go quite nicely in her home. Although as UGLY as this little guy was (and boy was he ugly you should have seen his teeth) I’m not sure how she could possibly want it or think that it could some how compliment her home’s decor.

Nevertheless at some point in the story the doll seemingly comes alive and begins to terrorize the woman moving about her home with the precision of a highly skilled hunter stalking his prey.

Imagine the absolute terror she must have experienced after hearing the pitter-patter of little feet piercing the quietness with in her home only to later DISCOVER the sound was from the doll that is suddenly not where she originally placed it.

In hindsight, not only was the sight of that little ugly black doll with ENORMOUS razor sharp teeth scurrying about quite disturbing to me as a child but the clever way in which the director animated and contorted its already ugly face to look genuinely angry and more terrifying than how it previously looked before its sudden animated state.

“Peek a boo...I see you”

Another truly awesome use of a doll on the big screen was in the movie Poltergeist. The classic horror film by Steven Spielberg remains a personal favorite of mine since the day I saw it in the theater some years ago.

The movie was about a family of 5, a couple and their 3 children whose home experiences arguably the most terrorizing poltergeist activity ever put on film. Of all the rooms that were experiencing the paranormal activity in the family’s home the one with the most belonged to the two youngest children. As if they didn’t have enough already to be afraid of, you know with the “monsters” in their closet and the “boogie man” lurking in the shadows?

The room was typical of most kids rooms, there was a large number of toys and of course a number of dolls. But there was one doll in particular that their son Tommy didn’t care for much, a clown that sat in a chair across from his bed that appeared as if it was staring. Because the doll was a clown it had this “silly looking” smile on its face and although not disturbing, it was unforgettable nonetheless.

So much so that each night as the young boy attempted to go to sleep before he could put his head down he would cover the clown with something to prevent it from seemingly watching him. One night after the frighten child gingerly approaches the doll to that end he returns to his bed where he would struggle to fall asleep, periodically looking over his shoulder, in the dolls direction, to make sure it was still in the chair. Moments later the child repeats the process but this time he finds the doll gone, the boy’s fear heightens, now more evident as the shear look of terror extends the whole of his face.

Electing not to leave the somewhat secure confines of his bed he does the only other thing that he could think of doing at this point which is…

Look under the bed.

Just the act of looking under the bed, for a child is like peering into “the abyss of hell” as it is symbolic of the place where their worst fears are realized and so the only other thing, at this point, worst than having to look under his bed would be finding the dolls two eyes peering back at him from out of the darkness.

But that’s not what happened is it?

After Tommy discovers the doll isn’t under his bed he lifts his head back up and suddenly notices over his shoulder the doll behind him. And now with his fear at a crescendo the doll grabs the terror stricken little boy about the neck, takes him to the floor and not so coincidentally, drags him under his bed.

Again another demonstration of the effective use of a doll in a horror movie and although it wasn’t scary in the same sense as some of the other dolls I’ve seen “running amok” on screen, the scene nonetheless worked quite nicely within the context of the overall story.

The doll a symbol of innocence

Of course there are many other excellent examples of how dolls have been used for dramatic impact in motion picture history but the reason it works so well in horror movies is due to what dolls symbolize. For the most part dolls are synonymous with the innocence of a child but when they are utilized on screen in the many threatening ways they have been, mainly in horror films, the symbolism tends to get lost in a world where absolutely all things are possible and for the moviegoer perception becomes reality, at least for 90 minutes it does.

Written and or Posted by the "MonsterMan"

The movie industry tapped into the fear of dolls when the industry was in its adolescence. In the movies, dolls almost always become fully animated and begin their killing sprees before the movie is thirty minutes into the plot.

We have to applaud the movie makers for being in tuned with their spiritual senses to make the film in the first place, but the concept is vastly distorted from that point on.

Not all cute little threats are actually capable of doing any sort of harm to humans, muchless the mass devastation that movie dolls such as Chucky wreak overnight. Most are just dormant portals that a ghost might "poke its head through" from time to time. Even then, not every human would even know that something had happened because it's not as if the doll would be dancing around and talking. Many possessed dolls are passive portals that simply want to experience the world of the living again, but don't have the strength of will to interact with the living realm.

Some of us can instinctively sense the closeness of the realm of the dead when we're around dolls. We experience this closeness in a feeling of panic or fear. In the movies, they do a pretty good job of giving one of the characters a sensitivity to cute little threats, and the rest of the cast has no idea (until the doll starts wielding a chainsaw).

In terms of violence, we're not saying that dolls can't be violent. Take Illyia or the Porcelain Terror Doll for example. These dolls did kill people, but they're really the exception, not the rule. They have special places on this website as a precautionary measure more than anything. We want people to know about the potential danger, but more than that, we want people to understand their fear.

Some films have actually done very well at capturing the magic that comes with becoming acquainted with a strongly willed, but gently spirited cute little "threat". Pinocchio is a classic tale of a man who finds a son in a puppet that he has created. The plot deviated from ghost/doll portal interaction, but the relationship is the important part, and it illustrates the humanity that a doll can have. The movie, Small Soldiers, showed an unusual, although not wholly inconceivable situation where many possessed action figures, some good, and some bad, were fighting each other. Here again, the actual activity of the dolls is unrealistic, but the motivations and emotions are human and therefor feasible in terms of being exhibited by a possessed doll.

Top Scary Movies- 4 top scary movies not easily forgotten
Written by the "MonsterMan"

What are the top scary movies of all time? Well since this list is totally subjective, I’ll just give you what I think are the top ones and you can determine where they come down on your list.

What makes a good scary horror movie? In my opinion it’s a movie that is riveting, that is pulse pounding, that is unnerving and that gets you really moving around, or should I say squirming in your seat. A good scary horror movie is a movie that keeps you talking years, sometimes decades after you initially see it. Alien for me was that type of movie.

Alien although probably more sci-fi then it was horror; it certainly had all the elements of an excellent horror movie. Can you possibly think of anything more frightening then being trapped not just on a ship but also against the vast emptiness of outer space and being relentlessly pursued by the monster in that movie? Makes you glad you weren’t among those on the ship, doesn’t?

The Exorcist is if not the top scary movie on my list it certainly is one of the top scariest movies of all time. I think we would agree that if you polled 100 fans of the genre and asked them what are the top 3 most horrifying movies they’ve ever seen all of them would more than likely place The Exorcist in one of those first 3 positions. One of the things that made this movie good was its uniqueness. Because the story was based on true events it seemed less entertaining, in the conventional Hollywood storytelling sense. Not that it wasn’t entertaining, because it was, but when sitting in the theater and watching it after seeing its trailers and the previews that were many times aired on television after midnight with the knowledge that the movie is based on true events it tends to have more of a profound impact upon you therefore staying with you long after the credits roll.

I can still remember as a child staying up late watching television in the dark, as I would often do when the preview for this movie came on. It scared the living you know what out of me. Not only that, every time it came on subsequent to my first time seeing it, I would quickly run to the television to change the channel. The Exorcist was so dark and disturbing that even a 30-45 second trailer airing on television was hard to view.

I would seriously be remiss if I didn’t mention this next movie in our conversation of top scary movies. Halloween remains not only a cult classic but for me a personal favorite of all the many horror movies I’ve ever seen. When I think of what made this movie so good and it obviously was a number of factors but for me it was the unbelievable portrayal of Michael Myers by Nick Castle. John Carpenter seriously made you believe that if the “Boogie Man” were to ever take on flesh and come to life his name would be Michael Myers as played by Nick Castle in Halloween.

As our discussion of the top scary movies comes to an end I want to speak briefly about another movie that continues to stand the test of time as one of the greatest horror movies ever and that being A Nightmare on Elm Street. Although this movie provided a good 90 minutes of escapism for me and others, at least from an entertainment standpoint, it was however unsettling, in that it demanded that each of us examine one of the unfortunate realities of life and that being our own eventual death. At every horrifying turn in the movie Wes Craven relentlessly reminds us, through his brilliantly developed main character Freddy Krueger (portrayed by Robert Englund) that whether asleep or awake, young or old, rich or poor we are hopelessly incapable of evading death when it eventually does comes for us. For me my only solace is knowing that when it comes knocking at my door, Freddy Krueger won’t be standing there.

If life throws you a concrete block, instead of a strawberry flavored snowball, don't feel badly. A good low-rated B movie will make you feel warm and fuzzy all over. In the days when money was tight, I always new I could go to the middle isle of Blockbuster and pick a winner. Now it is your turn!

Over the years, B movies have received a bad rap from critics and the butt-end of jokes at college parties. Two young guys get drunk and then get the great idea to look through their movie collections. Do they pick a good one like Wild Things? No! They pick a movie called, "Attack of The Crab Monsters!" You definitely have to be three sheets to the wind, to watch and enjoy a corny crab movie. Ed Wood's classic B movie, "Glen or Glenda", can easily be used for a coffee cup coaster or your favorite new dart board.

Thanks to a site called Stupid, you can purchase the worst B movies on earth. Vincent Price was a great actor, but he did not always have his fair share of good movie roles. What's exciting, is the "Stupid" website even has plastic horrified B-movie victims, you can put next to your bathroom's soap dish. After a B horror movie night, it is good for one last scream as your brushing your teeth. While flossing your teeth, you can stare at the little figurines so stupid, you will cry like a baby for milk.

The "Stupid" website allows you to purchase such wonderful movies as A Bucket Of Blood and Attack Of The Giant Leeches. What I love about the Stupid site, is the bad movie night kits. You don't just buy a kit with low-budget movies, but you get microwave popcorn and a barf bag. The barf bag is what sealed the deal for me! I new if I ever saw Paris Hilton acting again, I would need plenty of barf bags! Put Paris Hilton in any movie and you have a run of the mill, low-rate, low-budget B-movie your dog would love.

Army of Darkness is one of the best B Horror movies ever! Great filming and knee-slapping lines make this B flick a keeper. Who can forget The Blob(1958) and who wants to remember it! How about the Attack of The Killer Tomatoes; now here is a movie you can flog some ripe tomatoes at, while leaving them in the cans! Here is a list of my favorites: Blood Freak, Bloodsucking Freaks, Body Melt, A Boy and His Dog, The Brain, Brain Damage, Attack of the Supermonsters, and Bad Taste. These are real movies, that are really bad, and will leave a bad taste of raw unfiltered
horseradish juice in your mouth. Watching one of these movies is like drinking moonshine with a mixed laxative cocktail.

In the movie, "The Brain" a hideous brain creature takes over people's mental faculties through TV. Let's think about this one for a minute. Ok, I'm done. If your really bored and don't want to mow your yard, then check out the movie Blades. Blades is a movie where people are terrorized by a killer lawnmower. What's next a killer snow blower! Wait, wait... How about a killer food blender. This headline is a beauty, "Juice Machine Terrorizes Town, Where People Act Like Vegetables and
the Girls Are Fruity." Well, it is time for me to step away from the keyboard, before I go Fruit Loops(great cereal).

We watch movies in order to experience a roller-coaster ride of emotional responses. Horror movies aim to evoke fear, whose family of tertiary emotions consist of shock, alarm, mortification, panic, hysteria, horror, terror and fright. Whether or not a horror movie is good or bad is subjective. This short article explores those movies which are commonly regarded as the top horror movies; the movies that - for one reason or another - most potently engaged our fears.

Psycho (1960)

Originally a book by Robert Bloch, later adapted for the screen by Joseph Stefano, and famously directed by the late, great Alfred Hitchcock, this is the seminal slasher movie that shocked America and set the fear-formula for many future horror movies. We have a serial killer who dresses in drag to imitate his Mother; we have a beautiful heroine who, shockingly, dies a third of the way in; we see a bloody bathroom scene that was all the more jarring for earlier audiences, who were unused to seeing toilets on cinema screens. But none of this captures what really terrifies us about Psycho, for psycho is an exploration into madness, a place where - God forbid - anyone of us might one day journey.

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

A group of people hold up in a farmhouse and must fight off the hungry advances of an approaching zombie army. Written by John A Russo and George A Romero, and directed by Romero in 1968, this is the original zombie flick that even today ranks as one of the top horror movies ever put on film. What makes it so scary? Honestly, I think it's the simplicity. We have a lonely farmhouse besieged by the undead and no explanation as to why the dead are rising, other than the haunting line "when there is no more room in hell, the dead shall walk the earth". We have zombies obsessed with one thing: eating the living; and the living obsessed with one goal: avoiding becoming a zombie-dinner! Even the film stock is simple: grainy black and white. At times, perhaps when the camera jolts and the sound crackles, as we watch brain dead zombies tear apart and chew on their freshly dead neighbors, we get the distinct impression of documentary filmmaking. Simplicity can be terrifying.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

The movie that proves sequels can surpass their originals. Boris Karloff reprises the role that made him famous, that of The Monster and, likewise, James Whale returns to direct another sinister masterpiece. The primary theme in both Frankenstein movies is man should not play God because there will be horrible consequences; indeed, even The Monster is aware that his existence is an abomination. What makes Bride better than Frankenstein? I'd say both Whale and Karloff use their experience of the original to enhance their performances.

Halloween (1978)

In Halloween we see a deranged murderer escape a mental asylum and return to his home town where he slays the local teenagers. The movie opens with a scene from the point-of-view of Michael, a young boy who proceeds to massacre his sister with a kitchen knife. This sets a shocking and unpredictable tone for the rest of the movie. Yet again simplicity in horror proves to be the terrifying ingredient, easily making this one of the top horror movies ever made. Michael is a simple, yet efficient killing machine, much like the shark in Jaws. What we find so chilling about him is his God-like ability to remain alive, but - as they say - you cannot kill the bogeyman!

The Exorcist (1973)

The best word to describe The Exorcist? Shocking. A girl who becomes possessed by an evil entity and her mother enlists the help of two priests to save her. Watching this movie you get the distinct impression that what you see is real. Audiences are compelled to believe both the Devil and his demons exist. But what truly shocks are the taboos: a weak, alcoholic priest; intense use of blasphemy; a young girl who urinates, curses, blasphemes and implores a priest to sexually gratify her. The Exorcist leaves you with a persistent uneasy feeling, wherein you find yourself believing more so in the devil, a creature whose evil is definitely unquantifiable.

There are many more top horror movies but you'll find the five listed above to be those commonly regarded as the scariest.
