Ok, so this is basically how this plays out:

- Opening gore: guy gets decapitated by his own intestines.

-Lots of blablabla with useless backstory and bucketloads of Tony Todd's wonderful voice.

- Bunch of rednecks accompany the 'I have one facial expression' lead actress. I'm falling asleep here.......and then:

FACE BASHING!! FACE MULCHING!! MOST HOLARIOUS SEX SCENE EVER!! bit of plot DECAPITATIONS!! CASTRATION BY THE BIGGEST CHAINSAW EVER!! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!! SPIDERS!! DEATH BY SANDPAPER!! bit of plot WHY DOES THE BAD GUY LOOK LIKE SLOTH FROM THE GOONIES!! huh...plot twist?? MORE HATCHET CHOPPING!! OH MY GOD AN AUTHENTIC SPINE PULLING SCENE!! OH MY GOD IT'S JUST AMAZ ...oh..it's over...

Good, clean, wholesome family fun.

All the awesome kill scenes in the world can't disguise the fact that these just aren't very good films.

Also, at this point I'm convinced that Danielle Harris gets cast in these things for nostalgia value alone, bless her.

Sometimes, as humans, we love things too much. These things probably don't deserved to be loved this much, but we do it anyway. These things should be measured on a scale beyond 'Good or Bad'.

This is how I feel about the Hatchet franchise.

Hatchet 2 is bloody marvellous. With emphases on the bloody.

Film 10 in The December Project: My Waterloo

The main girl in this movie does The Rocks eye brow throughout the entire running time. It's extremely irritating...

[pass] (50min) How is this from the same director of Frozen? Poor pacing, horrible writing, and an absolute waste of Danielle Harris.

I love this film so much. The acting is horrible. The movie is funny. So much gore. And that ending... wow... my favorite! I loved this movie so much more than the first. I can't wait for the 3rd one to come out!

A far cry from Hatchet, pretty disappointing, but ends (last 10-15 or so) on a pretty high note. Mainly made me want to re-watch Hatchet a few more times to make up for it.

A lot more of the same from this sequel to the wonderful Hatchet. For some reason, the spark just isn't there this time and the movie begins to feel tedious before too long. Watch it for the gore, of course, but don't expect the thrills to carry over from Victor Crowley's first outing.

I am one of the few who saw this on the big screen at an AMC Theatres before the movie got mysteriously pulled after only a few days for likely political reasons. The great Kane Hodder was there in attendance and he did a pre and post screening Q&A that was definitely more interesting than the movie. Thankfully this is better and there are less aggravating characters. But there are still some dumb moments, and the last 5 or so minutes are like a middle finger to the audience.

All the awesome kill scenes in the world can't disguise the fact that these just aren't very good films.

I don't know what you were expecting me to say about this. It's loud, stupid, and horrendously acted. It's also a sequel, so anyone going in should know better. As a horror sequeI it continuously delivers in body count and ingenuity. If you love horror films, you'll be pleasantly surprised by some clever and (usually) very funny death scenes. There are worse horror movies you could subject yourself too.

Right I havent seen the first film but it took all of about 15 seconds to pick up what had happened. If you did struggle picking it up its basically this film but with a different cast.

There are some fantastic ways to execute some red necks and that coupled with a bit of boob got it 1 star. However I had to remove half a star because once again people insist on splitting into tiny groups to hunt paranormal undead monsters.

Honestly does no one ever learn?

Come on you hatchet faved fucker.
