The greatest movie ever made..!
Overrated
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreImo the first hatchet was terrible, relied too heavily on kills, bad characters apart from reverend zombie, marcus and that asian tour guide dude ( can't remember his name, sorry ). But this movie proved me wrong, it had a better story, better acting, a better direction, and better characters. My one major problem with this movie is victors design, he looks kind of stupid ( not that the first was any better ). Vernon, you will be missed
View MoreI liked the first film! I thought it was pretty good! This one was pretty good too! Although there were a few things which I didn'tNow this one picks up from where the last one left off. Though it doesn't explain what happen to Ben! Did he die? Did he live? Not explained! Though if I were to take a wild guess I'd say the killed him off! Making the last Hatchet a typical Female Soul Survivor film! Ugh! Typical! Just plain sexiest! Anyways the plot for Hatchet 2 is Marybeth wants vengeance for what happened to her family as well as wanting to retrieve the bodies of family to be buried in her home town! Aside from the gore & bloody scenes, this film has quite a few revelation adaptions to the original Hatchet! Such as:The added if not deeper adaption of the events prior to Victor Crowley being born.One of the teens who set the cabin on fire was Marybeth's father (hence why at the beginning of the film, the filthy fisherman who saved Marybeth, abruptly asked her to leave at gun point!) Not to mention that the other 2 teens responsible were Marybeth's Uncle Bob & a friend of there's by the name of Tent.Tony Todd is in this film again as the reverend! He helps Marybeth, who seeks his help & gathers a bunch of hunters together to get the tour boat which never came back in the first film! He offers them $5000 if anyone captures Victor Crowley's head & retrieves the missing tour boat! There are many others which I won't give away, but are very interesting & keep you guessing throughout the film!The gore in this film was top notch as well as the violence! The vicious deaths like the head through the boat fan, the belt sander on the guys head & the death scenes with Victors getting his entire face caved in!!The Characters in the film were alright. VERY few were in the film though!Story-Line wise, was OK, straight forward, just like the first!Now, onto the things I didn't like:The first death scene was sloppy! The intestines of the fisherman were bone dry! Really! They were not even wet let alone blood covered when Victor ripped them out of his stomach (which by the way took little effort)! He then uses the intestines to strangle & decapitate the fisherman! A little far fetched but not as bad as the colour of the blood splatter which was too red for my liking!The replacement of Marybeth! A VERY bad move! Why!? Who do it? There's no need to do so! Unless there was a valid reason behind it! But really one of the things I dislike, which made me not want to watch Death Race 2 when Jason Statham got replaced!The death scenes were abit too comical & jokey to be taken seriously! Although they were bloody & vicious! It wasn't working for me! Comedy & Horror DON'T mix! Unless it's dark & less humorous! The part when Victor emerges from the bush with a massive if not stupid sized Chainsaw! Come on! Really!? Reminded me of the time I seen the trailer for Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III! The ending was great too, though it would seem Victor wasn't dead! The part when Marybeth yells "F*#K YOU!!" Before blasting the shotgun into Victor's face before the screen cuts to black! Awesome ending!To be honest, it was a great film! It was very bloody & vicious! Just the way I like it! But had a few things which didn't make it so good!Overall I say an 8/10! It's worth a watch!
View MoreThis review is fairly straight forward, have you seen Hatchet? Well this is more of the same, it extends the story, it takes similar story lines from other movies and fits it in to the story arc it is creating.The big difference with this is that it is highly amusing, unlike for example 'Evil Dead'.You could run a book with friends guessing who is going to get bumped off next. There is one spectacular dispatch, which I didn't expect but was a homage to another horror series. I enjoyed this and look forward to part 3.
View MoreMarybeth (Danielle Harris) escapes the clutches of the bayou-butcher Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder) and returns to the swamp with an army of hunters and gunmen, determined to end Crowley's reign of horror once and for all.The strength of this film is in the back story of Victor Crowley. Slasher films do not really need an origin to their killers, but if they do I think it helps make them more iconic. Jason Voorhees had mommy issues and some bad counselors. Freddy Krueger was the "victim" of vigilante violence. Now we see what drives the evil of Crowley...I was hooked by the use of Ministry over the credits and then convinced when I heard the "baby Jesus" joke. This is not as strong a film as the first one, but still has a sense of fun about it that makes it a crowd favorite -- lots of blood, some silly characters and outrageous moments. Adam Green takes the best of the slasher films and mixes in the Troma mentality... with a resounding success! Green also relies on an endless amount of horror references and casting of horror icons. In this way, he is very much like Rob Zombie. However, two things should be said: one, as a whole, Green makes the better movies. And two, I think Green is better at seamlessly incorporating the actors into his movies. With Zombie, it is often 90 minutes of "Oh, it is x, y, z!" He seems more focused on getting the name than getting the best performance.
