From the opening scene to the conclusion this movie was full of cheesy moments. Couple that with a lot of bad one liners and worse creature effects and there you go. It had the potential for a good movie but the sub par character development was a real let down. I will say there we...

GORE GORE GORE! This film was full of gore, i absolutely enjoyed it too, it was great to see a newer horror film that was actually good! Our film starts with a fisherman, and his son hunting alligators in the swamp, and right off we get a good share of intestines!! Absoul...

Here I go again, its been a while since I viewed this film and for some damn reason it pop back into my mind. So I decided to write my review on this film. Starting from the time I heard about it. I came across this film not on the net, but while I was watching the previews on Behind The Mask which ...

Hatchet is a slasher in the true spirit of the 80's. This movie really does it right. Not only is the movie kewl in that aspect but it also offers great gore and one of the greatest decapitations I've ever seen. Hatchet is about two friends at Mardi Gras and one of them decides he's bored with see...

After having watched this a few times, I have finally gotten around to do a review, because honestly, this movie required a couple runs before I felt confident that I had something to say. If you've ever read Danse Macabre, by Stephen King (and I apologize for continually bringing him up), then you...

I brought Hatchet just a short while ago and have never looked back. While the director/writer of the piece, Adam Green harks back to the era of 80's movies he manages to recreate it with so little fault that you let the occasionally slip up pass by. Whilst originally the lure of watching t...

Hatchet is a direct to dvd horror movie that you can really enjoy if you don't take to seriously. It's really funny, has some great kills, and a lot of boobs. Hatchet is about a group of New Orleans tourist who take a haunted swamp tour and come face to face with local legend and deformed madman V...

[ Overall 77.08% Approval Based on 24 Reviews ]
Hatchet is a throw back to all of the things you loved in the 80's slasher movies...plus more. Displaying probably some of the most inventive, and gory, kills, Hatchet is a comedic horror that you'll want to watch over and over.A group of new Orleans tourist go on a scenic boat ride for a haunted s...

Hatchet (Unrated) Review by alex1176

[ Overall 77.08% Approval Based on 24 Reviews ]
"Hatchet" is an overrated slasher flick. A throwback to American 80's horror flicks, it has received rave reviews by horror critics, but don't believe them. No, "Hatchet" isn't crap like "See No Evil", but it's no better than the cheesy gorefests that inspired it. The character of Victor Crawley was...

I finally got to see this movie and I was a bit, just a bit, disappointed that it wasn’t that much of a return to “old school horror.” Granted, it had some of the storylines, gore, killers and back-story of a good ol’ 80s or 90s slasher, psycho killer story, but it wasn&rsquo...

Hatchet is bloody bliss, sadistic silliness, and carnal craziness. Adam Greene has succeeded in creating a memorable killer in part due to his catchy name, Victor Crowley. Victor is played by Kane Hodder, and he is joined by other horror legends Tony Todd and Robert Englund in a li...

Hatchet (Unrated Director's Cut) Review by jay_wigger

[ Overall 77.08% Approval Based on 24 Reviews ]
With a tagline as bold as "Old School American Horror" and surrounded by an almost Snakes on a Plane-sized amount of hype, writer/director Adam Green's Hatchet can't help falling short of expectations. But amid the current crop of so-called torture-porn horror films that take themselves very serious...

When Hatchet director Adam Green signed Kane Hodder to play Victor Crowley I knew we were in for a treat. After the Freddy vs Jason screw-job, a motivated Kane with creative control has equaled some of the most brutal kill scenes ever filmed. That alone makes this movie worth seeing for horror fans....

Old school American Horror - I can agree with that. Hatchet was a pretty good film. It had the elements of classic horror and everything you would expect from a movie with this type of subject matter. The deformed boy looked like something out of a cheap sci-fi movie in my opinion, how someone could...

I have read some stunning reviews of this film on this site, and, coupled with the glut of remakes on the horizon, I was looking forward to kicking back and getting my good ol' fashioned scare on. What I got was Hatchet. Enough people have given the synopsis of the film, so I won't bore anyon...

Any one else been waiting for this one for what seemed like years? I know I have been. The trailer with the creepy little girl voiceover rocked. Ok, after about 2 years of internet hype, the independent film Hatchet finally was released on dvd on December 18th. I watched it on th...

What Hatchet is, Hatchet is a throw back to classic Horror. What it is not, Its not a Horror film for mainstream fans. Its an hommage film. Fans of mainstream splashy horror that has played in the box office like Hills Have Eyes the remake and even I am Legend will likely hate this movie. Why? Becau...

Hatchet, one of those horror films that suceed where others fail....dropping the "serious horror" that movies such as "The Hills have Eyes 1 & 2" have and bring some humor into the mix, not to mention an off the wall deformed psychopathic redneck named Victor Crowley, with explict gore and ...

I waited with great anticipation for the DVD release of this movie since it never played anywhere CLOSE around here when it was released on September 7. I had a good time watching the film and the "extras" that come with the DVD. I now know that Adam Green, actors, and crew had an absolute BL...

After my first viewing of the film with a packed crowd at the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear I didn't think the film could actually get any better. But amazingly this film has managed to grow on me even more so. I think I went in with the mindset that this was going to be a straight up throw back to th...

Sometimes a horror movie comes along that makes an immediate stamp on the genre. It finds ways to be fun, fresh, and innovative yet has that old school horror film feeling we all know and love. Adam Green's film Hatchet is exactly this type of film. Hatchet is a throwback to the sl...

I have probably been following this movie a little too closely since its announcement at the SDCC a couple years back. With a cast that includes Tony Todd, Robert Englund and Kane Hodder you really can't go wrong.. or can you? Well over last weekend at a special screening at the Rue Morgue Festival ...

If you’re tired of remakes, “re-imaginings” and the recycling of classic horror franchises then “Hatchet” is exactly what the doctor ordered – a movie that single-handedly reinvents and reinvigorates the psycho killer horror genre which dominated horror in the 198...
