Hatchet rules!

Great Poster!

Hatchet was horrible. I'll never understand the hype that POS generated. It's an epic FAIL on behalf of the reviewers here and at Aintitcool.

Can you say overrated?!?! This movie was flat out terrible.

The kills were good, but the characters were unbearable to watch onscreen. Every moment someone wasn't being killed the movie was unwatchable crap. Not funny, not scary, and pathetic as an 80s slasher homage. What does it say for a film when the best acting in it, the only decent acting in it, is from Kane Hodder?

So I take it you guys won't be joining us?

Damn you Californians.

Hatchet is nice, but overrated

I love Hatchet!

Overrated and misleading, i was expecting a horror film.

Hatchet was awful. The story is generic. The acting is terrible. This movie is a disgrace to the genre.

Usually I trust the opinions of bloody disgusting....... I was very disappointed when I bought this movie..... it sucked so bad that I didn't even finish watching it and I've had the dvd every since it came out.

love the poster! can u californians are lucky!

Way overhyped. Not a good movie.

LOL at the same 8 haters who continually rip on this movie and say generic things about the "acting or comedy"- while sticking up for 80's slashers that were so terrible and unfunny that they can't hold a candle to this. It is hands down the best slasher film of the past decade and one of the most important indie films our genre has seen as it fought the system and made it all the way to 100 or so screens through fan support alone. Almost all true horror fans love this film and those that don't are the same losers who would have shit on Evil Dead back in the day and the same asses who were nowhere to be found at Drag Me To Hell because they were too busy jerking off to RZ's Halloween abortion. In 20 years all of you poseurs will be wearing your Hatchet Army shirts to cons and acting like you always got it just so you can look cool. F**k you. VICTOR CROWLEY LIVES and Adam Green is a gift to the genre. Now B-D how about doing this stuff for real fans in places besides LA??

necromancer, you shouldn't speak in such absolutes. I am madly in love with slasher movies and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of what the sub-genre has to offer. In my opinion, Hatchet is nothing more than a Frankenstein of a movie that sews together pieces of better slasher films to try and stand on its own. It fails. Instead of feeling like an homage to the classics, it is a cheap imitation that has nothing new to offer to fans. I like Adam Green and think he's a great dude who loves the horror genre, but I think he made a shit film.

LOVE the poster, easily one of the best tag lines of all time!!!! So goddamn jealous that I live on the wrong side of the country to be attending =( Enjoy it a little bit extra for me (whoever actually gets to go). I'm, personally, holding a "screening" of 'Trick 'r Treat' and perhaps 'Return of the Living Dead' this weekend in my basement with a projector and good sound system. Closest thing I'll get to a badass horror screening this year.

Hatchet was pure garbage, there was a couple of cool kills. But i couldn't stand the characters, the lame Comeidic tone to the film and so on. And seriously...FUCK Kane Hodder, he sucked as Jason, and he's nothing special here. In FT13th 7,8,JGTH and X all he did was breath heavy and look like some angry muscle bound brute. He wasn't scary, just a boring machine-like drone. Jason looked 'and' was at his best in FT13th 3 and 4. His lump deformed like body in 3 and especially his face was fantastic and creepy. ANYWAYS, Hatchet is trash, i too will never understand the hype its received....

I must agree with most of you horror fans, Hatchet was a total bore and not one bit scary or suspenseful. When they say "Old school horror", well you expect "Old School horror", let's give an example or two, Halloween, FT13th, The Burning, I could go on. The only thing that was good about the movie was when I went to see it and paid $14.00 Kane Hodder was there and he was very nice and wanted to know what I thought so, I lied.

What I loved about this film you wanted the victims to die and you weren't let down.I admit the beginning is very cheesy with T&A,intentionally bad dialogue,and weird cameos by other slasher legends.But then it turns into a classic gore-fest with make up effects and not cheap CGI.Kane Hodder has never been better as well.I know it's not Saw part 12 but for low budget American horror It's a well thought out homage to all the deformed slashers from back in the day.Also it had the perfect ending for the tone of the genre.

On another note has anybody seen that Disturbing new Horror movie from Korea called 'The Butcher' then again, i think it's going to be released in a few days. AICN said it's as disturbing as 'Inside' Then again, there's not one film out there that's as disturbing as the second half of Martyrs ;0

You just referenced THE BURNING, F13TH, and HALLOWEEN as being more old school- why, because their acting and dialogue was worse than this? Hatchet's formula and effects were done the same way- only better. I think HATCHET did a great job at winking at the silly characters from those films yet updating it with real actors who could pull it off. And sorry- but none of those films had death scenes done in-camera as well as Hatchet's belt sander to the face or pez dispenser face. But alas, there is never any winning with the B-D haters when they decide to go off. Every movie is "overhyped" to some of you. Just because you see it last, don't go to festivals, don't get to review it first, don't bother to seek it out in theaters, and wait for cable, DVD, or illegal download years later- then you damn every good review it got because it just wasn't good enough for you. Then you say THE BURNING was good! HA! Why? Because it's 20 years old. The only time I've ever seen an audience have a better time at the movies than HATCHET was GRINDHOUSE and having attended numerous Fango Cons I must say that Adam Green is by far the nicest, coolest, and most enthusiastic director out there today. He doesn't drone on and on like RZ or jerk off to himself like Roth. He's just happy to be there and that's why his panels are always the biggest draw. Hatchet rules. Period. We need more like this and less SAWS, remakes, bad sequels, and PG13 CGI fests. This movie is everything that I loved about what I grew up on in horror. Oh, and if you haven't seen Spiral yet- it's amazing. Completely different, but amazing.

Whole lot of fail going on here. Hatchet was great.

I loved The Mask of Leslie Vernon, and in reference to Necromancer's rant, the Evil Dead movies, but Hatchet didn't do anything for me. It seemed to be trying way too hard to be cute and then turned into a run-of-the-mill hack-and-slash. At least Behind the Mask was crazy enough to seem almost plausible.
