Hatchet Review

Written by: BlackTequilaKiss   

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 this was to see Tony Todd, Robert Englund and Kane Hodder it didn't take long for my attention to lead away from them and toward the characters you know are inevitably going to get killed off.

The storyline is simplistic which adds as unlike previous predecessors it does not attempt to manipulate or twist and turn to the point you don't know where you are headed.

The Killer is a awesome creation and makes for some of the darkest moments of the movie. The one downside to this movie is timing, but if you can get past the trivial part, its worth the ride.

Blood, guts and gore flies and after the first death things just get more and more messed up. And lastly for me what elevated this movie above many others currently abtaining the market is the Special Features are worth watching.

There are hidden gems that will have new and appreciating fans laughing so much they will not know what's hit them.

For all the faults that could be seen, it is in one description. Funny, original and a worthy movie in the Horror genre. I guarantee that one day the creation of Victor Crowley will be mentioned in the same breath of air as Kruegar and Jason.

A brilliant, post modern take on 80's Horror that will stay sharp in young minds.

Worth both the time and money and would quite happily watch it again and again.
