Mr. Crocket Ratings & Reviews
- Goosebumper11 mars 2026Ever since the video game Five Night's at Freddy was released, the horror genre has been graced, or more like cursed, with the mascot horror sub-genre. Most of the works within this genre tend to suffer from absurd lore and awful so-scary-it-becomes-silly designs that make no sense within their world for stuff that is meant to be kid friendly. Mr. Crocket does avoid those major issues. The main villian, his orgin, abilities and appearance are all well thought out. All the characters in this film are fairly complex and not paper thin. The big issues with the film are how predictible the plot is and an underuse of the villian's more intresting powers. Thankfully the film moves at a quick pace so it's not that big of an issue. All and all a decent first film from a new director.
- Scott Thomas12 april 2025It was just campy nonsensical (sometimes gory) fun.
- Adam Azul23 oktober 2024Mr. Crocket is a 2024 horror film that was released direct to streaming via Hulu. This film demonizes the innocent nature of children's programing by adding a supernatural twist. Though goofy at times, this movie brings on the gore with creative kills that are on par with bigger horror franchises. The titular character also does a stellar job at being equally cheery as he is sadistic, making him a very memorable villain.
- jackmeat15 oktober 2024My quick rating - 4.7/10. This flick starts with a fun idea but stumbles on its execution. The film centers around a single mother who stumbles upon a VHS of "Mr. Crocket's World," a seemingly innocent children's program that holds a sinister, bloody secret waiting to unleash horror into their home. It's a throwback to the mid-90s, capturing the VHS-era nostalgia with no smartphones or modern technology, and for that alone, it does a decent job of setting its atmosphere. The star of the show is of course Elvis Nolasco as Mr. Crocket. His ability to mix in humor before each kill adds a playful yet unnerving charm to the character. His comedic timing lightens the mood before things turn dark and brutal, and honestly, it's this aspect that keeps the movie watchable. The kills themselves, when they finally come, are creative and gory, with writer/director Brandon Espy clearly not holding back when it comes to punishment. However, where the film falters is in the pacing. The middle section drags with a strange, almost heavy-handed parenting message that feels out of place in an otherwise horror-focused movie. It tries to stay serious when the setup and execution scream for more of the over-the-top carnage and dark humor that Nolasco provides. Unfortunately, it’s this uneven tone that makes the movie feel disjointed. Special effects-wise, it’s a mixed bag. The low-budget, cheesy visuals make it feel like a kid’s scare flick, but the adult language and splatter pull it back into R-rated territory. The film’s identity struggles with these contrasts, and it becomes hard to tell what audience it's really aiming for. Overall, it shows promise, especially in Espy’s willingness to get creative with the kills and Nolasco's performance. However, it leans too heavily into its serious side, dragging down the pacing when it could have fully embraced its gory, campy potential. A solid first effort, though, and I’d be interested to see where Espy goes from here.
