If ‘Hatchet 5’ Happens, Victor Crowley Will Finally Leave the Swamp

Crowley Takes Manhattan?!

Not that slasher franchises need to boldly reinvent themselves, but we sure would love to see Victor Crowley slash up some fresh victims in a new location. The first three Hatchet films, along with this year’s Victor Crowley, all primarily take place in the same swamp, which has become a bit monotonous now ten years after Crowley arrived on the scene.

But the franchise will indeed find itself in a new location if Victor Crowley does well, says Adam Green, who teased a potential Hatchet 5 in a Reddit AMA this week.

“If there is a HATCHET 5, Victor Crowley will be leaving the swamp,” Green definitively stated. “Can’t say anything more yet but I purposely brought him back in this new film in a way where the rules have slightly changed. We’ll see if we get to make a part 5 in a few years!”

In his response to a different question, Green further teased the future.

“As you’ll see with VICTOR CROWLEY (don’t miss the scene that happens in the middle of the end credits!) the series is set up for more stories,” he noted. “I have a master plan and laid the seeds in this new one for where it’s going to go… but unfortunately in today’s new era where most stream films and too many pirate them illegally, we can’t be too sure that we’ll get to make more of them. We hope that we can continue making one every few years.”

Meanwhile, Victor Crowley heads home on February 6, 2018.
