Holly Thompson I've heard rave reviews about this movie and finally decided to check it out. I've heard about it but didn't really know to much about it. Decided to watch it tonight and it was your typical American slasher film. It wasn't bad halfway through except the killing parts just looked way to cheesy to me. And every girl crying in scenes just ruins it and it's annoying. The ending was even worse. Somehow he was stabbed through the chest and seemed "dead" and they left and went in a boat. But then he comes back in the water and grabs the girl? Doesn't make any sense. Don't know how'd he get there so fast. Then a little bit after he was in the boat and killed the one guy. Just made no sense at all. Didn't really scare me. But it does say comedy on there. I see no need for them to have made a second one.

jtindahouse A slasher film with a rating of 5.7 on IMDb from 2006 with 3 sequels that all have equally similar ratings. Are you kidding me? Have I fallen into another dimension? What kind of witch-craft is this? Naturally, as you can tell, my interests were peaked. So I finally got around to watching it and I could tell from a very early stage why the film's rating was so high. It wasn't going to be a unique brand of horror that achieved the result, it was the humour. This movie is genuinely funny. Toss in the fact that the horror element isn't bad either and you have yourself a very nice little film.Deon Richmond (who does not get enough work) was particularly hilarious and definitely the best thing about this film. Just like his role in 'Not Another Teen Movie' his character steals the show. Joel David Moore also plays his part as the straight guy excellently and has some great chemistry with Richmond. The entire cast has their part to play though and very few of them fall flat. The horror side of things is surprisingly entertaining as well. They go for the extreme gore route and it works to perfection. The look of 'Victor Crowley' is also very menacing and I could imagine it will stick with a few younger audience members. I had a great time with 'Hatchet' and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun ride.

Ilikehorrormovies I almost like it but I end up not caring for it. It's not a rant or a positive review or a meh review too. The story is easy to follow if you're a fan of gore or watch 100 horror movie with the same story, the acting is meh, and it's not too clithè. They're some clithè here and there but they limit it. The worst part about this movie is how the script feels empty, that's my main problem. I like how the killer is based on Jason Voohrees but without a mask. At least it was better than Black Christmas (2006) and the disapointing Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Begining (2006). I watch it because I thought it was The Shinning (1980) but I didn't do research what The Shinning is. It's hard to think if it's good or not because it's forgetable and that's why I don't have a opinion on it. That's my review of The Hatchet (2006) so yeah, I don't care about the film.

DMG When i first watched hatchet i didn't think it was that good and i thought that it was overrated. But i decided to give it a second chance. And i'm glad i did. This movie is awesome. let's talk about the cast first. I actually really like the cast. The acting is not amazing or anything, but i still enjoy watching these people. Some of them or actually almost all of them are really funny. Parry Shen is in this movie i love that guy. He's also in the other Hatchet movies and he plays another character in each movie, which is hilarious in my opinion. While i did find most of the jokes really funny, some were not very funny and just seemed unnecessary to me because i know they can do better. Kane Hodder plays Victor Crowley in this movie and man is he awesome. He is a total bad ass and the make- up on Crowley looks amazing. And that leads me into the best thing about this movie which is also the reason why people watch this movie. The gore. The effects in this movie are amazing. This is a bloody movie and all of the kills are creative and some are actually pretty over the top. I love every single kill in this movie. But another thing that i kind of dislike is the pacing. And i think part 2 has the same problem. This movie is a little too slow. It takes about 45 - 50 minutes to get started. And it takes even longer in the second one. I think it really shouldn't have taken so long for the kills and the action to actually get started. Yes the first 45 - 50 minutes are pretty funny, but i still really want to see the amazing kills. But what i really liked was the 80s feel that this movie had. Yeah this is a throwback movie to the slashers from the 80s and one could argue that that's just an excuse for making an unoriginal movie, but i love the 80s vibe in this movie. And even if it is an excuse, i still love the movie. I think unoriginal doesn't necessarily mean bad. Just because i've eaten lots of apples, i still love to eat them. Same thing with this movie. I've seen this concept a thousand times, but i still love simplistic slasher movies with lots of gore. In the end, i love this movie. It has amazing kills, some really funny moments and really funny ending in my opinion. I can watch all of these three movies over and over again and they're always fun. Yes the pacing could've been a bit faster, but really this movie is still awesome and that's why i give it an 8 out of 10.
