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. -- Paul Gaita

As the title says its the typical slasher movie with lots of gore and a obvious story line of a group of friends out alone being stalked by a deformed muderer. Not bad for a similer take on many other films.

This is a great old school slasher set in an atmospheric Lousisana swamp during Mardi Gras. It isn't that scary and there isn't alot of horror in it but I really enjoyed it. It's short at under 90 mins but theres never a dull moment. There's alot of fantastic over the top gore and sickly hilarious kills with no CGI in sight. Theres also alot of humourous moments and I was grinning as hell alot throughout. The cast and acting are all excellent. The lead actress who plays Marybeth (Tamara Feldman) is gorgeous in this and a very capable actress and the rest of the cast are great as well (the two bimbos who hate each other provide some great moments of comedy). Not to be taken seriously, this is brainlessly campy but excellent gory fun.

Nerdy Ben is tired of all the debauchery he's seen at Mardi Gras, and talks his wise-acre pal Marcus into joining him on the "Haunted Swamp Night Tour" (all together now, say, "Don't do it!!") They join a collection of clueless tourists that includes a porn-maker and his actresses and a mysterious, and very pretty young lady. Right on cue, the tour boat starts to sink - in the rain and in the dark - and our little band of thrillseekers is trudging through the bayou, which, as everyone knows, is the home of the infamous mad killer Victor Crowley, also known as Hatchet.
This slasher flick was better than most because there was plenty of humor, courtesy of Ben and Marcus and the porn queens, and it doesn't take itself too seriously; Ben and Marcus are the kind of guys who would make wise cracks all through a movie like this. There's actually a good story here and the one-by-one killings are all done differently and, mercifully, quickly. If you like things that go bump in the night and actually enjoy people being eviscerated, this is the movie for you.

Hatchet
A fairly original monster in the woods kind of film hatchet has a certain charm. Never destined to be a game changer but a decent watch none the less.

Great....if you like this sort of thing.
If you're not a fan of horror, or more specifically, very over the top comedy horror then I would stop reading now. For everybody else this really is a guilty pleasure. Read more

Minus the silly characters this could have been a classic
Hatchet is very frustrating, because director Adam Green is a true horror fan who had everything at his fingertips and well kind of blew it. Read more
