Please don't spend money on this.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Tymon Sutton
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Many a sequel have come and gone with films and this one is no different. Picking up with similar cast members (Tony Todd) (Kane Hodder) but changing the lead from the first film as Mary Beth is Danielle Harris (Halloween II, Halloween 4 and 5). The film resumes right where the last one left off with Mary Beth being the only survivor. She makes it back to town and tells her story to Reverend Zombie (Todd) and together they grab a bunch of hunters to go and get the remains of Crowleys victims and her family. More of the same plot, dry but constant, dreadful acting and the editing was just horrid. The violence and gore factor was raised some in this one, from severed heads, split faces, ripped out spines it has it's squeamish factor. GAIN I HAVE TO RATE THIS A MODEST 5/10

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!

Picking up exactly where the original left off, Marybeth (Now played by Harris) escapes Victor Crowley (Hodder) and goes back to Reverend Zombie (Todd) who sent her on the tour. She convinces the reverend that Crowley is real and she plans to go back to the swamp that night to finish the ghost off. Zombie gets a crew of people to go out with Marybeth in hopes of retrieving his boat and killing Crowley. There is some set up to the story about Marybeth's father and the two others that we're responsible for the death of Crowley. Zombie lures the other two out to the swamp under false pretenses thinking Crowley will kill them and the curse will be lifted. Original Writer/Director Adam Green simply needed a good reason to get another group of people in the swamp so Crowley could chainsaw, skin, chop in half and pull their spines out. This hyper violent sequel is still supposed to be taken as a slasher film on steroids that isn't to be taken seriously. Some of the fun humor is missing from the original but the gallons of blood hitting the trees in the swamp are jaw dropping. The pace is quick and the deaths violent as anything to the point of almost being cartoonish. Green manages a few jumps on some good timing and it is fun to see Tony Todd as Reverend Zombie in a full role this time. Danielle Harris is a spunky heroine and brings life to Marybeth. Unnecessary, but Hatchet II delivers the blood and guts and will make you squirm at least a few times from the on screen onslaught. When you add in the couple of jumps and let yourself go with the story, you can't help but like it.

Hatchet 2 is a newer edition of Jason Voorhees, which is funny because Jason Voorhees star Kane Hodder is in playing the father of the deformed monster Victor Crowly (I think that's how you spell the last name). The film has Halloween star Danielle Harris returning to a swamp where Victor still alive (once again like Jason). Danielle Harris returns to recover her father's body (played by Robert England aka Freddy Krueger). So yea this movie is popular only b/c of the stars in the movie. In my opinion if you are a horror movie fan go watch it, but if you wanna see something different you may wanna still see it. Hatchet II a sequel that you won't believe.
