After watching Hatchet the other night and enjoying the
graphic violence and gore, I decided to search out the sequel and see what
Victor Crawley had in store. Luckily for me, Hatchet II was on one of my premium
channels and I was able to DVR it.
Plot/ Marybeth escapes the clutches of the bayou-butcher
Victor Crowley and returns to the swamp with an army of hunters and gunmen,
determined to end Crowley's reign of horror once and for all.
Sequels are usually a mixed bag, some are successful at
capturing the momentum of the original and some come up way short. This flick
had some hits and misses when comparing it to the original. The gore in this
one was graphic, intense and truly was a highlight and the storyline and
character development was outstanding. While by and large the acting was solid,
especially Kane Hodder’s dual role, some of the casting decisions (like changing
out Marybeth) took something away from the original, not to mention lacking the great comedy that was a blast in the first one. Overall, this was
definitely a decent sequel and a horror movie that is worth watching
(especially if you enjoyed the original).
