Were you scared you wouldn’t see swamp monster Victor Crowley on the big screen again? Never fear, or, rather, be very afraid. He’s headed to AMC theaters October 1st. Director Adam Green talked a bit about this at Comic-Con and Dark Sky Films confirmed it today in this announcement:
“In anticipation of the upcoming Halloween horror movie season, Adam Green’s HATCHET II will be distributed in theaters across the country beginning Oct 1. The film will be released without an MPAA rating, marking the widest release of an unrated genre film in more than 25 years.”
No rating and Victor Crowley’s triumphant return? That is worth braving any number of bed bug-ridden seats.

Perhaps the Greatest Crowley
I had the chance to see a preview of Adam Green’s “Hatchet 2″ during the American Horror panel at Comic-Con and if you are a fan of the original “Hatchet,” you won’t be disappointed by this one. Your favorites are back, even one who died in the first.
I don’t want to spoil it for you, but let’s just say we find out who Little Vic’s Mommy is and why he was dealt such a cruel hand. Does anyone else just feel bad for him? For me, he’s horror’s backwoods answer to Sloth.
Here’s a few descriptions to give give you an idea of the swampy mess that lies ahead, but maybe not spoil the whole thing:
- a chainsaw long enough to make short work of two hunters
- curb stomp
- two guys’ balls finally drop
- head remains animated after decapitation
- face peel, no salon required
- real teeth transformed into a fine set of dentures
After seeing this, I can’t wait to see what Green comes up with for “Killer Pizza.” Green says the film will be released unrated my a major movie chain. Looks like the curse of Crowley is coming to a theater near you!
