Product Description
Product Description
Victor Crowley returns to terrorize all those who dare enter the swamp in the sequel to the hit slasher film, HATCHET 2.
Amazon.com
There's probably no better visceral creep-out than a close-up eye gouging (just ask Luis Buñuel). Director Adam Green learned this well by using the old thumb-in-socket shot as the climax of his 2006 cult hit Hatchet, and he repeats it as the opener of Hatchet II. This micro-budget sequel picks up just as the original ends, with the aforementioned eye still belonging to the deformed swamp monster Victor Crowley (again played by ace stuntman and Friday the 13th alumni Kane Hodder). The thumb belongs to demure Marybeth (Danielle Harris), who turns out to be the sole survivor of the first film's tour-boat cruise through Louisiana's most disgusting swamp. She escapes Crowley's one-eyed clutches and finds her way back to New Orleans and the lair of voodoo conman Reverend Zombie (Tony Todd, of Candyman fame), where a posse of redneck morons is quickly assembled to return to the swamp and squash the innards and legend of Victor Crowley for good.
All this Victor Crowley and innards-squashing business will be familiar to fans of Hatchet, of which there are legions. Indeed, it feels as though Green has made Hatchet II as a love letter to them, raising the bloody-disgusting body count and creative means of murder--outboard motor, super-size chainsaw, belt sander--strictly to satisfy an urge felt only by the supremely devoted. Billed as an unrated director's cut, the DVD version will surely send them swooning with even more latex guts and buckets of Kool-Aid-colored blood than they might remember from midnight theatrical shows. Even the commentary tracks and making-of documentary are filled with backslaps dedicated to the exclusive Hatchet groupie club. Green is intentionally riffing on slasher films not only with the comic dialogue and dopey characters, but also by employing icons of the genre as actors. In addition to Hodder and Todd, Tom Holland, director of fanboy favorites Fright Night and Child's Play, turns up in another key role. Unfortunately, Green's sense of insider humor and commitment to a limited demographic seems to have clouded what could have been a more interesting movie. But you're probably not watching Hatchet II to see an interesting movie. You're watching to see a giddy homage to the glory days of practical gore effects and enjoy the goofy fun of howling at senseless characters that lose their heads and countless other body parts in ever more creative ways. --Ted Fry

- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2011I'll keep this short I really loved this movie. Writer / Director Adam Green has done it again. In my opinion he has captured the essance of the slasher, and I had the same feeling watching this as I did the first time I saw The Friday the 13th movies, and all the great 80s horror. First you have Danielle Harris who is quickly becoming my new fave scream queen, Kane Hodder who is just a force, and Top it off throw Tony Todd in to the mix you cant lose. The kills are awesome. Thumbs way up I'm looking forward to whatever Adam Green has to offer. If you liked the first one you will not be dissapointed.

This film picks up exactly, and I mean exactly, where the first film left off. (Just like Halloween 2 did.)
This sequel was significantly better than original, which had pretty much nothing going for it except for a fairly compelling back story.
The characters were much better.
The cast was MUCH better.
The story was better.
It was just much more of a movie than the first.
They also seem to have made somewhat of a power move on casting by bringing in Danielle Harris (the main little girl from Halloween 4 & 5) to play the central figure of Mary Beth.
Besides that, the story was much improved. Instead of the cast merely wandering about, getting slaughtered just for being there, this film had much more of a reason (several, in fact) for going into a swamp at night to tangle with some notoriously maniacal and invincible killer from beyond the grave.
Now, don't get me wrong. This was not a great movie, but it wasn't all that bad, either. In fact, for schlocky horror, it was pretty entertaining.
I actually recommend this movie.
3.5 STARS
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2010My girlfriend and I drove for 5 hours to see this in Northern VA, at the only AMC theater we could find. We weren't dissappointed, it was a fun time. Great special effects, the gore is as over the top if not more than the first one (which is a classic). The acting isn't so hot over all, but a few mentions of other great films were a treat as well as the 80's slasher humor well intact. I've waited for the announcemnt for this blu ray for quite some time, If I was any more excited about this release date I would be two people. BUY IT!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2011In my opinion this movie was great! High body count, low plot, and tons of over the top gore. My only real issue is with the D Bags on Amazon who feel the need to ruin the movie for those of you who have yet to see it. Take my advice, check out the movie and be careful which reviews you read because there seems to be a lot of morons out there that think they must give away the movie in order to tell you about it. SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR OTHER CONSUMERS YOU INTOLERABLE IDIOTS!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2021It is suspenseful and adds to the story of the first film. This movie appears well balanced with the level of backstory, action, suspense, and gore. Which makes it by far the better of the Hatchet movie series.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2011ohhh my god!!! the body count in this film is so exciting and creative.
the manner in which victory crowley dies in this sequel is awesome!!!
for those of you whom are downing on this piece of classic american horror, shame on you all!! so what if a quick homage to jason voorhees is mentioned, i found the
context of the line ironic to the T.
and now dark skys films has given a green light for a third film, hatchet III?
oooohhhhh, hell yeah!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Victor Crowley ist zurück !
Uncut echt geiler shit. Danielle Harris als Marybeth, Tony Todd als Rev. Zombie und Kane Hodder als Victor Crowley sind der Hammer ! Teil 2 hat noch geilere kills als der schon sehr brutale erste Teil.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why Adam? Why?
Da fan di Adam Green e del primo Hatchet sono rimasta profondamente delusa.
A differenza del primo in cui traspariva grande energia e dedizione da parte di tutta la crew questo secondo episodio sembra realizzato solo per pagare il mutuo.
L' attrice protagonista che sostituisce quella del primo film nell' interpretare Mary Beth , oltre a essere decisamente meno gradevole esteticamente (per essere delicati) ha una voce stridula e sgraziata e rende il personaggio oltremodo irritante.
Ma persino la regia sembra dilettantesca.
E gli effetti speciali vecchi di dieci anni.
Nemmeno la presenza costante di Tony Todd è sufficiente a risollevare il livello del film.
Imbarazzante.
