Hatchet II (2010)
4/10
I'm disappointed
8 February 2011
I became a fan of Adam Green and Hatchet after I saw Hatchet 1. I was so stoked for Hatchet 2 to come out. I literally stalked sites to see if I could watch it since it was pulled out of theaters early. So I came across the movie on YouTube, and started watching it..... I basically wasted an hour of my life. The effects were TERRIBLY done. The blood, bodies, everything about the deaths looked so fake. But I still made myself watch. I admit, a couple times I was like "Holy s**t!" because there's a couple things revealed in it that were left unsaid in the first movie.

Also, it got a couple chuckles out of me. Not laughs. Chuckles. That's another thing that disappointed me because Hatchet 1 was making me laugh left and right, and of course, I was expecting the same thing in the second movie. I like a horror movie to get a few laughs out of me when I watch it.

The acting in Hatchet 2 was okay. Not amazing, but not horrible. The one actor who really caught my eye was Kane Hodder. I've only known him for being a murderer in movies with no emotion when killing, but I had no idea he could be emotional when not playing a killing monster. His role as Mr. Crowley in the flashbacks made me respect him as an actor more.

I'm hoping I'll do the same thing that I did with Hatchet 1 and give Hatchet 2 another chance and fall in love with it (Yes, I hated Hatchet 1 at first because of the ending, but I watched it more and I love it now.) I've heard Green say that there might be a third sequel. I'll consider seeing it if it actually does happen, even though the second one was terrible.
