Marcus U Hanky Panky had great comedic aspects, and the characters were well-written and actually funny. Usually, horror comedies aren't as funny as I would like, but Seth Green gave this movie life with the comedy. I love the blend between horror and comedy, as comedy is one of my favorite genres to watch while wanting to relax. Hanky Panky is a horror film with some gore, but I felt that the comedy carried it. The film had some mysterious elements also. The plot is kind of out there since this movie is about a handkerchief and a hat with human tendencies, but the characters and dialogue tie it all together, and the plot twists are a favorite aspect of mine. I would recommend this movie if someone wants a good laugh, but also enjoys some horror. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Diamond M This film uses spooky themes more as decoration than as anything truly frightening, leaning more toward weird comedy than true horror. Although it frequently references well-known horror clichés—unlikable characters are killed while the somewhat better ones survive—it does it with a strong nod to the viewer. It's a fun, strange little ride, but it's not very creative. Aside from being a delightful mess, the main character's animated handkerchief companion somehow normalizes the absurd plot. When the handkerchief began to give motivational speeches and clean up messes like a life coach with lint, I knew I was in for a fun ride. The film's attractiveness is somewhat enhanced by the awkwardness of the characters and the occasionally uncomfortable conversation. The cast appears to settle in as the tale gets its groove, although the performance is unsteady in the first act. Although the film's low budget is evident, particularly in the special effects (the haunted hat appears to have been taken from a Halloween clearance bin), the filmmaker makes the most of it with inventive lighting and perspectives. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Anahit C Hanky Panky is one of those films where if you were to tell a friend about it they would think it's a skit from a youtube video. Neither the less the plot I did find myself surprisingly entertained by the film. The plot was chaotic and had very random twists that I didn't see coming, which caught me off guard. This is the type of film that even if you wanted to look up the ending of it you wouldn't know what to type up because of the constant plot twist. This is not necessarily a bad thing, I believe it adds a layer to the film that makes sense. The film is into strange humor without trying to be something else which stood out to me the most. Overall I would definitely recommend this movie for others to watch and get an idea of what a cult film might be with more of a modern aspect to it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review lyalya . I really enjoyed Hanky Panky! It’s an intriguing movie in a lot of ways, and that’s part of what makes it so fun to watch. The humor totally worked for me - just the right mix of quirky and weird. The acting had this classic charm that pulled me in, and I stayed locked in the whole time. The camera work and angles were great and added to the movie’s offbeat energy. It’s not trying to be anything too deep, but it definitely has a vibe. It’s like a low-key rollercoaster—not the flashiest ride in the park, but still a really good time. If you’re into oddball comedies mixed in with horror - that also don’t take themselves too seriously, this one’s worth a watch. I’d totally watch it again. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Adrianna S This film was definitely different, but I will give credit to how original the plot is. The concept of a man having a connection to a talking handkerchief is pretty humorous and the overall plot comes across as silly, but I felt like the horror aspect was missing. The cinematography was not the best. The lighting choices were very poor and there was a lack of contrast in the shots. This was distracting and made the story difficult to follow along. The set design was very limiting as 90% of the film was shot in the same house, which made the film boring at some points. I thought the ending scene with the battle between Woody and the hat was cringey but maybe that's just not my sense of humor. Overall, it wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't terrible. There were some funny jokes that made me laugh! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Amanda R Hanky Panky is a wild, absurd horror-comedy that doesn’t hold back. The story follows Sam, a socially awkward man, and his talking napkin sidekick. They get caught in a bizarre mess throughout the film. The movie does not take itself seriously, which is part of its charm.The movie is chaotic, creative, and pretty weird. The actor that voices the evil hat gives it flair, adding to the film’s ridiculous charm. While the plot is all over the place and the production feels low-budget at times, the movie embraces its madness in a fun way. It won’t be for everyone, but if you enjoy offbeat, unpredictable humor and cult-style storytelling, Hanky Panky might be a fun ride. It’s strange, silly, and definitely something different from the usual. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
