Hatchet 2 - Movie Review - How does it compare to its predecessor? - SICKorSHIT - Alexs Verdict

Hey, it's Alex, haven't done a post in a while and since Dan has been posting a shitload recently I thought why not write one now. Before I dive straight into the review I just wanted to say that my long history with horror films....(which isn't very long at all) has taught me that there are films that are so shit/cheesy/badly made/terrible music/crap acting/a lot of nudity/ludicrous make up for monsters and such- that you just want to watch them again and again for your own amusement. Hatchet 2 is the newest member on my list as one of these films.

Hatchet 2 is no match compared to the first hatchet film, yes I know Hatchet 2 is lower budget and yes I know that many limitation come with that for example, lower quality cinematography, scenery won't be as good, props won't be very polished and gore and blood looks cheap and fake. When I watched this film with Dan my fellow SoS partner I kept feeling the director.         Had rushed this film; with this movie all it seems to do is put mindless bits of gore here and there without really thinking much of it..I guess that's what this films all about. The first Hatchet has a solid story, Hatchet 2 talks about a curse at the beginning and then a load of hard looking guys join up together. You get your fair share of sexy ladies, fat rednecks and double barrels all over the place, you think your gonna see a film crammed with sex, nudity shotgun shells flying everywhere, girls screaming but all you get is a good start of a story following up to a bad end of a story. On twitter a post from the director of hatchet or sum shit like that uploaded a photo of a script paper entitle
 "Hatchet 3"

Get ready for  an amazingly comedic, gory slasher film (Hatchet)

Or

An incredibly ludicrous film which has as much potential as a ballbag (Hatchet 2)

In the first Hatchet, a guy and his friend want go on a spooky swamp boat ride/ tour thing and they're accompanied by two pornstars, a porn director (SPOILER- later on in the film you learn that he is a fake), an old couple, a sexy woman who is looking for her dad and brother because they have gone missing (Don't see why you can't just call the fucking police) and finally an annoying Japanese guy who is the tour guide (and really doesn't know what he is doing). This group of people is exactly the group of people you want in a slasher film, annoying people who you want to see get brutally killed by some monstrosity.
The cinematography of Hatchet is good, the music is NOT so good but it is made up for with the blood, guts and gore.
      

"Hey Guys! The asian stereotype worked soo
 well in the first movie! Why no use me again?!"

 This slasher film is close to me and Dans hearts for many reasons: We absolutely shat ourselves when viewing this beast of a film, the was unlike any we had ever seen before, and the characters were funny. This film is enjoyable, brutal and sickening to watch..and that's exactly why we love to watch it. The problem with Hatchet 2 is that you are pretty much watching the same film over again but instead the only difference is a bunch of red necks and weird black guy who thinks he's a magician are in the woods again looking for Victor Crowley. An Asian man again accompanies these men.............who is the brother of the other Asian man from the first film.......who is played by the same Asian man........who has the same personality as the other Asian man.......ITS THE SAME FUCKING MOTHERCUNTING ASIAN MAN! .......Asian man.........Asian men....>  Another bloody annoying thing in this turdish movie is Danielle Harris' eye brow! Jesus...........

The cinematography of Hatchet 2 is more or less the same as Hatchet, but the film in general just feels like it has been rushed. Also this film is far too silly, yes silly is good and funny but hatchet isn't Hobo with a shotgun, or Death proof....it's meant to be silly to a certain extent while still maintaining the standard of a slightly serious slasher film. I know I sound like a twat right now but trust me, watch Hatchet 2 and you will think the same way. Don't get me wrong, this film has it's funny and gory moments but the end product was SHIT. 

Dan decided to start giving out grades to all the films we review now so here goes....F for fucking shite.....enough said...

HATCHET = SICK .... HATCHET 2 = SHIT
