Recensione in evidenza
In the vein of 90s point-and-click adventure games, Hanky Panky delivers a quirky, chamber horror comedy that feels both refreshingly nostalgic and oddly modern. Directors Lindsey Haun and Nick Roth craft a contained, offbeat tale centered around a snarky duo, Sam and Woody, whose witty repartee drives much of the film's charm. Their dynamic feels pulled from the DNA of classic video game banter, blending humor and mild absurdity in a way that keeps the energy light even as horror elements creep in.
The low-budget aesthetic, while evident, largely enhances the film's campy appeal, echoing the scrappy ingenuity of cult classics like Evil Dead. There's an intentional playfulness in how the filmmakers lean into their constraints-shaky effects, exaggerated performances, and deliberately melodramatic tension all feel part of the joke. However, the seams show when technical limitations, like mismatched lighting between shots, break the film's visual cohesion. These moments remind you of the production's scale but don't significantly detract from the fun.
Tonally, the film has an irreverent spirit that evokes Bob's Burgers, balancing quirky humor with moments of genuine heart. Much like the Belchers, Sam and Woody are lovable misfits whose exaggerated antics are still rooted in relatability. The horror elements, while never truly terrifying, provide a creative framework for the comedic set pieces, adding an extra layer of unpredictability.
Hanky Panky may not revolutionize its genre, but it doesn't need to. Its charm lies in its unapologetic embrace of silliness and nostalgia. For fans of campy horror and quick-witted comedy, it's a delightful romp that knows exactly what it is and delivers on its promises.
