Hatchet 2 is the brutally gory sequel to the 2006 original.AMC Theaters banned this movie for life due to it being too explicit.
Director Adam Green grew up during the 1980s the goldenage of slasher flicks. It was a time where nearly every weekend saw the openingof a new slasher sequel at the local multiplex. Classic movies like Halloween,Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street all spawned numerous sequels with eachtrying to out-gore each other and their own previous installments. With theexception of the originals, each movie focused less on story and plot and moreon mere body counts.
2006s Hatchet was Greens love letter to those bygone days.It was bloody, gruesome and hilarious with only the slimmest of plots. And itwas a hit.
Hatchet 2, freshly banned from all AMC Theaters, is actuallybetter than the original. In fact, we can call Hatchet II the best sequel to aslasher film ever made. The reason being that this isnt just a sequel slappedtogether as part of an ongoing money-grab. This movie was planned and writtenat the very beginning. As a result it not only continues the story but alsofills in missing pieces from the first film in a way that is smart and logical.
The movie starts just second after the last one ended. Marybeth(now played by Danielle Harris, who replaces Hatchets Tamara Feldman) is thelone survivor of the massacre at Honey Island Swamp.Dazed and exhausted after surviving the murderous rampage of Victor Crowley(played by hulking Kane Hodder), her terror turns to infuriation at the thoughtof her father and brother being torn apart by Victor. She decides she needs toget help and come back to the swamp to recover her relatives chopped up remainsand destroy Victor.
A broken-eye hillbilly comes across Marybeth and helps herout of the swamp. But soon he his killed by his own intestines and Marybeth isleft by herself to enact her revenge. She makes her way to that shadowycharacter from the first movie Reverend Zombie (played by Tony Todd). Eventhough he helped get all those people killed, he is the only one that knowsVictor well enough to know how to kill him.
After a campfire meeting where the Reverend tells Marybethabout the true beginnings of Victor Crowley (fits the story perfectly), herecruits several tough-ass hunters and then everybody heads back to the swampfor the showdown.
What follows is an hour of the most imaginative, explicit,mind-blowing murder scenes ever seen in a slasher film. I cringed as certainparts of the male anatomy where hacked and ripped off their host. I know alittle bit about how these movies are made, but I have no idea how the directorfilmed some of these scenes. And in the movie theater where I saw this (beforethe AMC ban) I heard real, audible sounds of horror from the audience. Neverhave I experienced anything like this (do NOT leave this movie early thatlast 2 kills are already legendary).
Yet another reason why this movie works is because the castis so good. Danielle Harris as the heroine Marybeth is perfect in her depictionof terror and anger. She is scared out of her mind but is still able to musterstrength to fight. Of course shes had a lot of practice from acting in all ofthose Halloween movies.
Severalcast members you will recognize from other horror films. Kane Hodder (Fridaythe 13th Part 7: The New Blood), R.A. Mihailoff (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3), AJBowen (The Signal), Tony Todd (Candyman) and legendary Fright Night directorTom Holland.
Letshope that a 3rd movie was planned for this series.
