Victor Crowley Trailer Teases Hatchet Reboot

You can't keep a legend down, especially when that legend can easily return from the dead.

There's a new trailer for Victor Crowley, the secretly made fourth film in the horror franchise Hatchet, and it breathes new life into the bloody series from writer-director Adam Green. Check it out above via Entertainment Weekly.

The movie picks up a decade after the events of the first three films and stars Hatchet's Parry Shen as survivor Andrew Yong. Since the last movie, 2013's Hatchet III, Yong has become something of a celebrity by insisting that the local legend Victor Crowley is responsible for the deaths of the 49 people killed in the original trilogy. Most people don't believe Yong, but he ends up back at the scene of the tragedy where Crowley (played by horror icon Kane Hodder) is mistakenly resurrected. 

Green thought he was finished with the franchise, but that changed after the death of Wes Craven in 2015. He said he fell into a deep depression and was convinced to make another installment by the late George Romero during an appearance at a horror convention.

He surprised everyone with the Victor Crowley during an event that was billed as 10th-anniversary screening of Hatchet. 

The movie co-stars Laura Ortiz, Dave Sheridan, Brian Quinn, Krystal Joy Brown, Felissa Rose, Chase Williamson, Katie Booth, Tiffany Shepis, and Jonah Ray. Look for it on Blu-ray, DVD, and on digital platforms on Feb. 6.
