Hanky Panky ('15'): "The whole thing was just weird. Every tiny detail."

#onemannsmovies of "Hanky Panky". #HankyPankyMovie. A schlock comedy/horror with Seth Green as an evil hat. You'll either love it or hate it! 3/5.

A One Mann’s Movies Film Review of “Hanky Panky” (2024). I sometimes get sent screeners for movies that – erm – will normally struggle to get a cinema release. Many of them are almost unwatchable pants (hmmm… killer pants… where is my scriptwriting pad?) But sometimes they become quirky, strangely watchable oddities. “Hanky Panky”, sent to me by Actor/Writer/Co-director Nick Roth and soon to be…

Hanky Panky the Movie Reminiscent of The Room?

I have a soft spot for low/no budget films. A lot of times these little gems deliver a punch so hard your ribs ache. Hanky Panky is not one of these. The movie is, as they say, “A horse of a different colour.” It could be seen as a nod to Tommy Wiseau and his “visionary” and iconic film; The Room. The main difference here is that Wiseau apparently had a script that was the base of his oddly…

Hanky Panky https://tinyurl.com/24ay58wc Sam and Diane? Dr Crane and Lilith? Why is everyone in Hanky Panky named after characters in Cheers? The answer would appear to be that writer Nick Roth and his co-director/wife Lindsey Haun thought it was funny. Nothing deep, nothing meta...

REVIEW: Hanky Panky - Endlessly Entertaining Mix of Every Genre + Puppets

Hanky Panky--written by Nick Roth and directed by Nick Roth and Lindsey Haun--is a wild and wacky blend of horror, comedy, and everything else you could possibly imagine and then some.

Hanky Panky is one of the most unique experiences I've ever had watching anything--and you can tell how much this team loves film and shows its influences through every frame.

As someone who loves screwball comedy, sentimental Christmas romances, and comfort food gore, Hanky Panky is a wonderful amalgamation where every genre and influence is treated with equal importance and respect.

Hanky Panky follows a group meeting up in a cabin out in the woods including some friends and some strangers. First to arrive is socially awkward Sam (Jacob DeMonte-Finn) and his sentient napkin friend Woody (Toby Bryan). As the introductions go, Hanky Panky's unique brand of humor develops--and quickly grabs the audience, ready to take a wild adventure.

Absurdity and Comfort

The amalgamation of horror, murder mystery, and absurdist comedy makes for one of the most entertaining movie experiences I've had in a long time.

Hanky Panky is as strange and unexpected as it is welcoming and comforting: the ultimate comfort food for anyone who veers a little off-kilter with a deep love for film.

Hanky Panky is a hilarious comedy for those of us who love both Wet Hot American Summer and Murder by Death--and want to see bright red blood alongside moments of Hallmark romance.

The absurd humor of a sentient napkin deriving sexual pleasure from cleaning up messes gives Hanky Panky its unique style of late night comedy that feels even dirtier with how innocent it could look on the surface.

Strength in an Ensemble

Hanky Panky works so well because each character packs a ton of personality, creating a perfect ensemble. Diane (Ashley Holliday Tavares) is the utmost of quirky best friend--always prepared with a vial of oregano oil. Taveras performance as Diane brings out cozy Christmas charm blended perfectly with humorous eccentricities.

The ensemble keeps thriving as we meet new--and even stranger--characters. Carla (Christina Laskay) and Cliff (Anthony Rutowicz) seem to act as sort of straight comedy characters, but even this is subverted as Carla begins being able to hear Woody. Christina Laskay's delivery perfectly captures the blunt personality of her character. This comes across especially well during her scenes with Jacob DeMonte-Finn as Sam.

In addition to the friends and acquaintances, the group also includes a set of twins local to the area: Rebecca (Lindsey Haun) and Norm (Toby Bryan). As well as a local country girl Kelly (Clare Grant) who might be hiding her true identity.

Lindsey Haun steals so many scenes with her perfect portrayal of Rebecca's uneasy levels of optimism and deeply unsettling relationship with her twin brother. Toby Bryan plays Norm like an alien in a 1950s B sci-fi movie, which fits the character perfectly.

Another standout character and performance is Azure Parsons as Lilith--with a wonderful take on the trope of an overly stressed wife who always seems to have a headache. Parsons' performance feels ripped straight from a 1950s melodrama and I couldn't get enough.

Conclusion

Hanky Panky takes a kitchen sink approach to filmmaking--and it works perfectly to create a truly unique and hilarious comedy that knows exactly what it wants to be. You can clearly feel Nick Roth and Lindsey Haun's love for film in every scene of Hanky Panky as they effectively dive between moments influenced by ensemble sitcoms and gory horror. Seeing something so unique is exciting and I can't wait to see what Nick Roth and Lindsay Haun make in the future.

Hanky Panky releases April 19th on VOD
