Hatchet II (Unrated Director's Cut)

An entertaining, outrageously gory, funny entry in the Hatchet horror franchise.

My girlfriend and I drove for 5 hours to see this in Northern VA, at the only AMC theater we could find. We weren't dissappointed, it was a fun time. Great special effects, the gore is as over the top if not more than the first one (which is a classic). The acting isn't so hot over all, but a few mentions of other great films were a treat as well as the 80's slasher humor well intact. I've waited for the announcemnt for this blu ray for quite some time, If I was any more excited about this release date I would be two people. BUY IT!

In my opinion this movie was great! High body count, low plot, and tons of over the top gore. My only real issue is with the D Bags on Amazon who feel the need to ruin the movie for those of you who have yet to see it. Take my advice, check out the movie and be careful which reviews you read because there seems to be a lot of morons out there that think they must give away the movie in order to tell you about it. SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR OTHER CONSUMERS YOU INTOLERABLE IDIOTS!

AMAZON PRIME VIDEOThis film picks up exactly, and I mean exactly, where the first film left off. (Just like Halloween 2 did.)This sequel was significantly better than original, which had pretty much nothing going for it except for a fairly compelling back story.The characters were much better.The cast was MUCH better.The story was better.It was just much more of a movie than the first.They also seem to have made somewhat of a power move on casting by bringing in Danielle Harris (the main little girl from Halloween 4 & 5) to play the central figure of Mary Beth.Besides that, the story was much improved. Instead of the cast merely wandering about, getting slaughtered just for being there, this film had much more of a reason (several, in fact) for going into a swamp at night to tangle with some notoriously maniacal and invincible killer from beyond the grave.Now, don't get me wrong. This was not a great movie, but it wasn't all that bad, either. In fact, for schlocky horror, it was pretty entertaining.I actually recommend this movie.3.5 STARS

Great first part of three. Highly recommended

I'll keep this short I really loved this movie. Writer / Director Adam Green has done it again. In my opinion he has captured the essance of the slasher, and I had the same feeling watching this as I did the first time I saw The Friday the 13th movies, and all the great 80s horror. First you have Danielle Harris who is quickly becoming my new fave scream queen, Kane Hodder who is just a force, and Top it off throw Tony Todd in to the mix you cant lose. The kills are awesome. Thumbs way up I'm looking forward to whatever Adam Green has to offer. If you liked the first one you will not be dissapointed.

It is suspenseful and adds to the story of the first film. This movie appears well balanced with the level of backstory, action, suspense, and gore. Which makes it by far the better of the Hatchet movie series.

ohhh my god!!! the body count in this film is so exciting and creative.the manner in which victory crowley dies in this sequel is awesome!!!for those of you whom are downing on this piece of classic american horror, shame on you all!! so what if a quick homage to jason voorhees is mentioned, i found thecontext of the line ironic to the T.and now dark skys films has given a green light for a third film, hatchet III?oooohhhhh, hell yeah!!!posted on 5/17/11
