Watch Hatchet Movie Online Streaming No DownloadingA handful of college students looking for a good time are thrown into a world of danger in this homage to the slasher film cycle of the 1970s and '80s. Ben (Joel David Moore) has just been given his walking papers by his girlfriend and is deeply depressed. Needing a pick-me-up, Ben and his friend Marcus (Deon Richmond) head to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, and take in a "Haunted Swamp Tour," with master of ceremonies Shawn (Parry Shen) guiding guests through a spooky patch of bayou country. Along the way, Ben and Marcus meet a pair of half-bright exotic dancers, Misty (Mercedes McNab) and Jenna (Joleigh Fioreavanti), as well as Marybeth (Tamara Feldman), a pretty girl who is secretive about her past. As they tour the swamp, Shawn tells his customers about the local legend of Victor Crowley, a deformed man who was taunted by the other children living near the swamp until he was nearly bludgeoned with an axe by his father while trying to open the door of their burning shack. While Ben and Marcus don't think much of the story at first, it doesn't take long before they have serious reason to believe Victor Crowley is still at large -- and is looking to settle some old scores. Hatchet received its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Release Date Hatchet Apr 27, 2006 Wide | |

Review For Hatchet | |
| Lacking the satirical bite of the first Scream... this is mere pastiche that doesn't even wink at what it is pointlessly xeroxing from the past. MaryAnn Johanson-Film.com Anyone feeding into this nostalgia is yearning for a kind of warm and fuzzy horror that's wholly irrelevant today. Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York Green's efforts to strike a balance between knowing humour and no-holds-barred horror are stymied by an erratic tone: a slow, talky build-up gives way to a soggy middle section and a messy, all-stops-out finale. Nigel Floyd-Time Out Horror without suspense is like sex without love: you can appreciate the technicalities, but ultimately there's no reason to care. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times It's just not that scary (even the gory sequences are predictable and boring). And it certainly isn't clever or funny. Jonathan Perry-Boston Globe Draggy stretches in the first few reels could easily have been pruned from an already tight 83-minute running time. Justin Chang-Variety The film might not host an original concept, but its attention to detail - the tiny things that made '80s slashers unique - render Hatchet a far more enjoyable experience than its competition. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD I enjoyed Hatchet quite a bit. I was never scared, and I can't say I laughed out loud much, but it has a very gleeful tone that invites the viewer in. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid Anchor Bay's new Blu-ray disc replaces their old DVD as the definitive edition for fans who want to add the film to their collection. Steve Biodrowski-Cinefantastique Only a brief, nicely sculpted bass clarinet line provides any redeeming quality. S. James Wegg-JWR Gory monster/slasher spoof is drenched in blood. Cynthia Fuchs-Common Sense Media This may be the bucket of blood that splatter fans were eagerly anticipating ... but it is also an excellent horror film with solid scripting and strong performances that make it appealing to a wider audience. Steve Biodrowski-ESplatter The sharpest tool in the shed. Staci Layne Wilson-Horror.com Enjoyably schlocky horror flick, with its tongue firmly in cheek, ensuring that there are several laughs to be had amidst all the gory, hatchet-wielding mayhem. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Fun horror-comedy about tourists being picked off in the swamps. Tongues are firmly in cheeks; heads don't stay long on shoulders. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph This low-budget horror spoof lasts only 84 minutes, but seems to take forever. Anthony Quinn-Independent A reasonably serviceable horror, with much gory dismemberment, and featuring a kind of ancestor worship in the casting of scary-movie veterans Robert Englund and Tony Todd. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Billed as "Old School American horror", Hatchet's actually something far less classy: a technically inept homage to '80s slasher movies that's both bloody and bloody stupid. Jamie Russell-Total Film Long before its howling bogeyman has savaged his last victim you'll be wondering if the movie has anything else to offer besides self-conscious homage. Neil Smith-BBC What could have been a mini-Scream is ultimately I'll Always Know You Did Last Halloween the 13th. Rob Daniel-Sky Movies | |
