Hatchet
This story tells about a group of tourists who decided to go on a boat trip to a remote bay. Now, they seem to quickly find themselves stranded in the wild and that is almost a very scary place. Their fun and fun evening turns into a terrible nightmare in the end where they have to escape before it's too late.

Only a brief, nicely sculpted bass clarinet line provides any redeeming quality.July 05, 2008
This may be the bucket of blood that splatter fans were eagerly anticipating ... but it is also an excellent horror film with solid scripting and strong performances that make it appealing to a wider audience.October 06, 2007
Enjoyably schlocky horror flick, with its tongue firmly in cheek, ensuring that there are several laughs to be had amidst all the gory, hatchet-wielding mayhem.October 14, 2010
The film might not host an original concept, but its attention to detail - the tiny things that made '80s slashers unique - render Hatchet a far more enjoyable experience than its competition.September 15, 2007
Horror without suspense is like sex without love: you can appreciate the technicalities, but ultimately there's no reason to care.August 28, 2015
Feels like an old-school slasher flick that's been hidden on a dusty shelf for the past twenty years. And yes, I mean that as a compliment.September 11, 2007
Draggy stretches in the first few reels could easily have been pruned from an already tight 83-minute running time.October 05, 2007
Green's efforts to strike a balance between knowing humour and no-holds-barred horror are stymied by an erratic tone: a slow, talky build-up gives way to a soggy middle section and a messy, all-stops-out finale.September 10, 2010
I enjoyed Hatchet quite a bit. I was never scared, and I can't say I laughed out loud much, but it has a very gleeful tone that invites the viewer in.September 15, 2007
It's just not that scary (even the gory sequences are predictable and boring). And it certainly isn't clever or funny.September 07, 2007
A cut above average.September 22, 2010
Lacking the satirical bite of the first Scream... this is mere pastiche that doesn't even wink at what it is pointlessly xeroxing from the past.
