Some creative gore, but overall this movie isn't nearly as interesting or funny as it thinks it is.

Stupid. I hate this Adam Green.

this movie is such a throwback to movies like madman and friday the 13th and some halloween elements...this was fun...a great little ride

By far the best horror\comedy since Shaun of the Dead. Awesome makeup, creepy atmosphere, and funny as hell.

awesome splatter scenes, loved the humor. which is why i'd have loved to see more of that, not just five minutes. what you get instead is 85 minutes of boring plot. :(

Not a bad slasher movie, but it feels like it was made a couple decades too late. If it had come along in the 80s, it might be a long-running franchise like Friday the 13th or Halloween, but as it is now, it has kind of a generic feel to it. It's got several interesting death scenes, but no gimmick that really distinguishes it from other horror movies.

REALLY bad

43.000

Some nice dialogues... the rest is crap

The gore is what makes this movie a treat to watch.

Hilarious!

Good old-school horror flick with lots of laughs and gags! Bloody fun!

Hatchet is not good old-school horror, it's just lame. It begins promisingly enough and tricks you into believing that you're in for a nice, character-driven slasher... and then the actual plot kicks in, only there's no plot anymore at that point since the creators apparently thought that throwing a bunch of people in the middle of a swamp and systemically tearing them apart with no story progression or build-up in-between is good enough. It's not. It's lame. LAME.

when not entertaining on account of gore, it impresses with tongue-in-cheek humor. the acting and writing both compliment the humor and horror, all the while saving a few scary sequences for the people really thinking this was a true horror movie.

One of the worst Horror Movie story / plots in the last years...but not everything is bad in this slasher with Kane "Vorhees" Hodder..some nice gore effects make hatchet better than other wanna-be slasher that came out in th elast years.

I think I might disown the people who told me this was good. Awful. Do not watch it. It is nothing more than badly done horrific violence, bad acting, bad writing. I honestly regret watching it, something I never say.

Violent, but not nearly as fun as advertised.

understands the genre, but not how to escape it's flaws. It has no tension or atmosphere

Mostly forgettable except for some nice blood.

Below average; "new wave of american horror" my fucking ass. If this is the new wave then horror is dead, and not coming back. Not as a zombie, not as a mummy, not as a vampire, not as a ghost, not as a demon, not as a reincarnation, not as a toy, not as anything.

Hatchet is an unpretentious throwback to the slasher movies of the eighties. It's obviously made by folks who love those flicks and, save for several gore effects that would have gotten the 80s-era MPAA up in arms and the presence of some modern-day mainstays like cell phones, this movie could have very well been written in 1982. The humor is hit-or-miss, but it is refreshing that Adam Green does not rely on the "self aware" humor that so many throwback horror movies do.

A fun modern day slasher flick. You may not enjoy it as much if you are not very familiar with the sub genre to see all the necessary components. I am not a slasher expert but luckily I had one sitting next to me when I watched this movie. I will admit, the humor is a little on the tacky almost annoying side but the gore is neat and the scares are adequate. Watch this movie with a group of friends for a fun time.

A solid little slasher with excellent special effects and a fun enough cast to keep it pithy.

It's funny and entertaining - when drunk. As a movie it's bullshit.

Has some laughs and I like the gorgeous Tamara Feldman who should be a bigger star.

To put it briefly, a straight-up color-by-numbers slasher. The pluses: It's well-shot, the special/make-up effects are excellent, and it's funny with some decent characters. The minuses: It's very rushed, which makes the story suffer. Overall, very close to what a traditional slasher film should be.

I just remember this movie had a lot of guest shots of "Horror Icon Heavywieghts" in strange roles & I kept thinking this should get better...but it didn't...@ least I gotta see Hodder again & I can see a little F13 inspiration in this film

Its got some fun kills but that's about it. Mercedes McNab did a pretty good job.

i dug this film big time. i can't help it

Not the best production values, but a well-intended slasher romp through the swamp. The gore effects were surprisingly good.
