Synopsis: Chris Farley (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman) was one of the true Kings of Comedy. He made America laugh with his hilarious skits on SNL and his phenomenal performances in dumb comedies, like Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. America was so concentrated on how much he entertained the audience by making a fool out of himself. The sad part though is that on the inside, Chris was a totally different depressed soul. Horror at the Hancock takes place during the last twelve hours of Chris's young life. The movie is full of flashbacks of his incredible career and how he gradually fell to his death at the Hancock building in Chicago. Heather Grahmn plays the prostitute that was last seen with Chris Farley.

What the press would say:

Philip Seymour Hoffman has done it again portraying this incredible actor. Supported by John C. Reilly (who plays Tom Arnold) and Sean William Scott (who plays David Spade), we actually feel the connection that was going on in the past. Kevin Spacey is screaming an Oscar win for his portal of Doctor Dallas (the drug counselor) who tried to save Chris Farley's life. Audiences will go into this movie thinking since this is about one of the most memorable comedian, it must be a comedy; but truthfully this is the most heart hitting drama. Four stars.
