Hatchet II Trailers

Picking up right where the original ended, Marybeth escapes the clutches of the swamp-dwelling killer Victor Crowley. After learning the truth about her family’s connection to the hatchet-wielding madman, Marybeth returns to the Louisiana swamps along with an army of hunters to recover the bodies of her family and exact the bloodiest revenge against the bayou butcher.

I liked the first film! I thought it was pretty good! This one was pretty good too! Although there were a few things which I didn'tNow this one picks up from where the last one left off. Though it doesn't explain what happen to Ben! Did he die? Did he live? Not explained! Though if I were to take a wild guess I'd say the killed him off! Making the last Hatchet a typical Female Soul Survivor film! Ugh! Typical! Just plain sexiest! Anyways the plot for Hatchet 2 is Marybeth wants vengeance for what happened to her family as well as wanting to retrieve the bodies of family to be buried in her home town! Aside from the gore & bloody scenes, this film has quite a few revelation adaptions to the original Hatchet! Such as:The added if not deeper adaption of the events prior to Victor Crowley being born.One of the teens who set the cabin on fire was Marybeth's father (hence why at the beginning of the film, the filthy fisherman who saved Marybeth, abruptly asked her to leave at gun point!) Not to mention that the other 2 teens responsible were Marybeth's Uncle Bob & a friend of there's by the name of Tent.Tony Todd is in this film again as the reverend! He helps Marybeth, who seeks his help & gathers a bunch of hunters together to get the tour boat which never came back in the first film! He offers them $5000 if anyone captures Victor Crowley's head & retrieves the missing tour boat! There are many others which I won't give away, but are very interesting & keep you guessing throughout the film!The gore in this film was top notch as well as the violence! The vicious deaths like the head through the boat fan, the belt sander on the guys head & the death scenes with Victors getting his entire face caved in!!The Characters in the film were alright. VERY few were in the film though!Story-Line wise, was OK, straight forward, just like the first!Now, onto the things I didn't like:The first death scene was sloppy! The intestines of the fisherman were bone dry! Really! They were not even wet let alone blood covered when Victor ripped them out of his stomach (which by the way took little effort)! He then uses the intestines to strangle & decapitate the fisherman! A little far fetched but not as bad as the colour of the blood splatter which was too red for my liking!The replacement of Marybeth! A VERY bad move! Why!? Who do it? There's no need to do so! Unless there was a valid reason behind it! But really one of the things I dislike, which made me not want to watch Death Race 2 when Jason Statham got replaced!The death scenes were abit too comical & jokey to be taken seriously! Although they were bloody & vicious! It wasn't working for me! Comedy & Horror DON'T mix! Unless it's dark & less humorous! The part when Victor emerges from the bush with a massive if not stupid sized Chainsaw! Come on! Really!? Reminded me of the time I seen the trailer for Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III! The ending was great too, though it would seem Victor wasn't dead! The part when Marybeth yells "F*#K YOU!!" Before blasting the shotgun into Victor's face before the screen cuts to black! Awesome ending!To be honest, it was a great film! It was very bloody & vicious! Just the way I like it! But had a few things which didn't make it so good!Overall I say an 8/10! It's worth a watch!

This review is fairly straight forward, have you seen Hatchet? Well this is more of the same, it extends the story, it takes similar story lines from other movies and fits it in to the story arc it is creating.The big difference with this is that it is highly amusing, unlike for example 'Evil Dead'.You could run a book with friends guessing who is going to get bumped off next. There is one spectacular dispatch, which I didn't expect but was a homage to another horror series. I enjoyed this and look forward to part 3.

This is pretty much the premise of Hatchet II, a bunch of stupid people get slaughtered in amusing ways. The kills were both gory and creative, more than enough to satisfy the most hardcore gore aficionados.What let the movie down was the lack of a good story...actually...it lacked any story. Movie summary in one sentence - Assemble a group of people and herd them down to the swamp to get killed. End of movie.The female protagonist was too stupid to think she would not get killed. Apparently surviving a previous encounter with Victor was not enough, she needed to face him again and let him have another go at her. No sane person with half a brain cell would go back out to relive their previous horrors. Of course, her stupidity reigned supreme and she survived another encounter with the killer.I will say that this sequel is better than the first one. Not by much but better.

You soon to be sociopaths really need to start watching other types genre other than supernatural psychopathic thrillers, action adventure, comedy, or science fiction. Clearly you have no taste when it comes to cinema art. After getting through the opening scene I thought to myself how completely unrealistically stupid, monster reaches into guy's belly completely disemboweling him commences to wrap the guy's intestines around his neck and squeezes until his head pops off, the guy would have been dead from exsanguination as soon as he had his intestines ripped out, doh!, dah!, completely mentally deficient. Sorry but I would have to compare the talent of these screen writers to the intelligence of inbred hillbillies. Yuck, yuck this movie sincerely sucked.
