Hatchet
(IMDB) OT: Hatchet




Comparison between the cut R-Rated DVD published by Anchor Bay and the uncut Unrated DVD published by Sunfilm.

In the run-up Hatchet's reputation precedes it to be a new milestone in the sky of horror. In retrospect you (sadly) have to find out that the movie is nothing more then a simple, even though very gory, Backwood Slasher. Hoping to see a exciting horror movie after the very good beginning you have to please yourself first with 40 minutes of annoying teenie comedy before the movie finally gains momentum again.
