Hatchet II (Unrated Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

An entertaining, outrageously gory, funny entry in the Hatchet horror franchise.

Great first part of three. Highly recommended

I'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.

AMAZON PRIME VIDEOThis 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

My 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!

Great movie

In 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!

After the first film, "Hatchet", I proposed the idea that Victor Crowley was, in fact, a family of disfigured monsters living in the Louisiana swamps who keep replacing their deceasedified kin. I liked this idea because I REALLY don't like indestructible monsters and nobody has used the idea yet. There should be some hope of success for our protagonists. Well, Adam Green wasn't as clever as me. Despite this minor disappointment, I thoroughly enjoy the first film. Anytime you have a gas powered belt sander (REALLY!!) in a horror film, you know the mayhem is going to be marvelous. Well, (SPOILER!!!!) it's back!!! If you read that, don't worry; you don't know how it's used. Though not so different from the first, there are a few things you should know about "Hatchet II" (clever title, no?). Let's peel back the layers.ADAM GREEN IS A LIARYou see, Adam insisted that the first film was intended as a serious horror film that happened to have a few comical moments. I call him a liar because it's not as bad as calling him a failure. The gratuitous gore and nudity were so over the top, and the dialogue so witty, it could only be called a horror comedy. I sure hope he drops the claim of "serious horror" for "Hatchet II" because it can get downright silly at times, and I don't really like calling people names.ADAM GREEN DIDN'T FAILHis ultimate goal was to make homage to the golden age of horror with ample use of practical visual effects and plug and play characters. In this, Adam succeeded. The list of actors is mostly a who's who of unrecognizable horror icons. Tony Todd (Candy Man), Kane Hodder (Jason), Tom Holland (Writer of "Fright Night" and "Childs Play"), r. a. Milhailoff (Leatherface), Perry Shen (nothing of note) and Danielle Harris (those unnecessary Halloween remakes). Not exactly a distinguished cast, but what the hey. The first "Hatchet" had a better cast and script, but when talking about "Hatchet" it's all about the gore.MY GOROMETER IS BROKENThe gore in "Hatchet II" has moved up the ratchet. In fact it's just plain off the chart. If you're into creative kills and over-the-top gore, this will do it for you. If you like gore and violence to be realistic and believable, you'd better move along; this ain't it! For the rest of us, this is just goofy fun. When film makers get this creative about killing people, you start to wonder about their mental state. After a while you stop wondering; they're obviously demented. I usually mix some comment about sex and nudity with the gore; what I call "Gordity". These are the staples of the horror movies this film pays homage to. Well we get a real treat in "Hatchet II" with what may be the most messed up case of necrophilia put to film. That's all the detail you'll get from me.ADAM IS BACK ON THE HOOKJust so you don't think I'm blind, there are a few things about "Hatchet II" I wasn't all that thrilled with. I mentioned the less-than script earlier. This script is basically a scaffold to set up a lot of creative kills. That's not all bad, but definitely knocked down the entertainment value of everything that wasn't a kill. The first film had pretty decent character development which made the kills all the more visceral. The characters in this film were mostly cords of wood for chopping. To make matters worse, one piece of wood gets killed out of view. I hardly see the point of that since the character was so thin to begin with. It was just a lost opportunity to have one more killification. Lastly, the decision to give us a good look at Victor Crowley (said mutated killer) ought to come with a prerequisite, good makeup job; just saying.SHOULD YOU ENTER THE SWAMP?Let's make this simple: If ample amounts of over-the-top gore produced while a mutated maniac creatively kills large amounts of yahoos in the swamp gets you excited, then this is the film for you.If you actually like clever dialogue, realistic violence, characters you care about, and good makeup, then steer very clear of "Hatchet II" or any other "Hatchet" film for that matter (Just to be safe).I personally thought the production values were acceptable enough to enjoy the cavalcade of kills. The lack of good characters and a decent script were a bit disappointing, but the fast paced gore made it palatable.-Characters......2 Stars-Script..........2.5 Stars-Homage factor...3 Stars-Gordity.........4.5 Stars-Entertainment...4 StarsAverage..........3.2 Stars

I love all things Victor Crowley, the comedy bits make it a great movie.

Secuela de la serie slasher de culto, cumple en todos los departamentos, diversión sin fin.Tiene subtítulos en español y varios extras dignos de verse.

this product is crap you have ripped me off it does not play in any of my dvd players even my pc can't get it up and running that generally means the dvd itself is faulty i will be thinking very long and hard before buying from here again

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.

the reason I picked this rating is because I'am a huge horror fan as is my family including my grandchildrenand it is great to see Kane Hodder finely get a starring role in the movies he is a great stuntmaand nowis showing his actingabilities these 3 movies are full of great horror monsters such as RobeEnglund and tony todd
