Peter W @RT12077588 1 day ago Hatchet is a wildly fun slasher packed with over-the-top kills, gruesome effects and an impressive amount of blood splatter. One of my favourite aspects was the unexpected appearances from iconic horror legends throughout the film, which caught me completely off guard on my first watch and added even more to the fun, playful nature of the experience. The characters are admittedly a mixed bag, with many of them acting silly, making questionable choices and at times feeling intentionally unlikable, but the film’s murderous villain more than makes up for it. Victor Crowley is brutal, memorable and full of personality, and it’s easy to see why horror fans demanded more from the franchise after this first entry.

This series deserves more love! It's a wildly entertaining throwback to 1980s slasher movies with practical effects, monsters with compelling origins, and inventive kills.

Full of comically dumb characters, gory kills and women who are happy to flash their breasts on every occasion. I applaud the filmmaker’s determination to do everything as practically as possible, resulting in some of the films biggest laughs, and some of the characters, particularly Marcus, get a few great lines. The villain’s mortality is inconsistent, with the film never able to decide whether he’s powerful enough to shrug off bullets or weak enough to be incapacitated by a kick, but it’s biggest flaw is the ending. Basically, it doesn’t have one. It comes to a halt in the middle of an action scene. Not an open ending, just a complete stop, like someone sat on the remote. A fun enough way to kill 80 minutes, but nothing special overall. See more Read all reviews
