Screamfest Horror Film Festival Officially Selects the Highly Anticipated ‘HATCHET’ for its 6th Annual Event in October!


Beverly Hills, CA (August 22, 2006) – Rachel Belofsky, founder of the annual Screamfest Horror Film Festival, is pleased to announce the selection of Adam Green’s Hatchet (official website) into the 6th annual event, which is to be held October 13-22 at the Mann Chinese Theaters in Hollywood, California.

In Hatchet a group of tourists on a New Orleans haunted swamp tour find themselves stranded in the wilderness, their evening of fun and spooks turns into a horrific nightmare.

Hatchet displays an extremely solid cast which includes Kane Hodder (best know as Jason Voorhees in many of the Friday the 13th films), Tony Todd (Candyman) and the infamous Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street). Up and coming actor Joel Moore (Dodgeball, Art Scool Confidential) also stars next to Tamara Feldman, Deon Richmond, Mercedes McNab, Parry Shen, Joleigh Fioreavanti, Joshua Leonard and Patrika Darbo.

Critics have been raving about the film, “Hatchet is one of the best horror films this year, and probably the best slasher flick in decades,” writes Bloody-Disgusting.com; “[The film is] a brutal slasher that manages to balance over-the-top jaw dropping gore and humor, tailor-made for its core audience,” writes Icons of Fright; “Hatchet is completely fantastical in its portrayals of murder. And I loved it. Crowley literally rips his victims limb from limb.” - Aint it Cool News.
