This past August, Adam Green surprised everyone with a secretly-made, fully finished presentation of the fourth entry in the Hatchet series. He managed to keep Victor Crowley under wraps and covertly released it to an audience of unsuspecting fans who gathered to view a Hatchet 10th-anniversary screening.

Essentially, he Lemonaded us.

A new trailer has just been released to properly pump-up fans for the film’s (now publicly announced) February 6th DVD/Blu-ray/VOD release.

The iconic Kane Hodder has played the hulking hatchet-wielding killer in every entry to the franchise, lending his strong, silent gravitas to the role of Victor Crowley.

Writer/director Adam Green was content with keeping the Hatchet series as a trilogy until he had a heart-to-heart with the late, great George A. Romero following the death of fellow horror legend Wes Craven.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Green stated;

George said, ‘I know you’ve been going through a rough time, I know you’ve been taking Wes’s passing personally — you have to get over that, and get back on your feet.’ And as part of his pep talk he had said, ‘So, where’s the next Crowley picture?’ And I said, ‘There isn’t going to be one, I’m done with that.’ And he pointed to this standing ovation in the audience and he said, ‘You’ve got to understand, ’til they say it’s over, it isn’t.’ Forty-eight hours later, I’m back in L.A., and I’m sitting at my desk, and I’m typing ‘Ext. Honey Island Swamp. Night.’

I caught Victor Crowley as part of the Toronto After Dark film festival (you can read my review here) and absolutely loved it. It’s outrageously fun and chock-full of spectacular, gory splatter. I’m definitely looking forward to adding this DVD to my collection.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
