Hatchet (Unrated Director's Cut) description Adam Green's Hatchet is a goofy, gory gas that pays tribute to the slasher boom of the 1980s by placing more hapless teens in the path of an indestructible maniac. Said killer is Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder, Jason in many of the later Friday the 13th entries), a deformed Louisiana swamp dweller who returns from an apparent fiery death to lay waste to a mixed bag of tourists and Mardi Gras revelers who've wandered into his turf on a "haunted swamp" tour. Hatchet doesn't exactly surpass the movies it's spoofing; Green's characters are dopey ciphers, and Crowley's indiscriminate killing spree negates his sympathetic origins. But the dialogue is glib and the performances funny (especially Parry Shen as the tour's unlikely guide and Joel David Moore as the lovelorn hero), and '80s horror aficionados will appreciate John Carl Buechler's outrageously gross effects (which get more screen time in this unrated cut). There are also cameos by genre vets Robert Englund and Tony Todd, as well as Joshua Leonard from The Blair Witch Project. The widescreen DVD includes commentary by Green and several of his players, as well as featurettes on the making of the film, its villain and his elaborate makeup, and a scene breakdown of one of the film's most jaw-dropping effects. A gag reel and a conversation between Green and Twisted Sister frontman and horror fan Dee Snider rounds out the commentary. -- Paul Gaita |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Gore for the sake of it, but great special effects |
| This was reviewed by my daughter, as I am not into horror films. My 17 teenage daughter, her female friends and some teen boys watched this film. It was an overtly grotesque, gory and bloody film. The boys seemed to like it, the girls not so much. The gore and such seem more enjoyed by adolescent boys, which according to my daughter, seems what the movie is aimed at. She is into special effects, therefore she did appreciate and enjoy the detail and realism of the scenes. One adult male watched this film and said if he were 15 again, he would probably enjoy all the blood and over the top death scenes, but he to felt it was over the top and horribley bloody for the shock factor. Some of the scenes were so out there as to be laughable.
If you are a teenage boy or into blood and guts in a story line that is nearly non-existent, snatch this up and grab some popcorn. Otherwise go for a classic like Halloween. |
