I have to say I am terribly disappointed in Hatchet II. I liked the original quite a lot - it's quite a fun ride.
The sequel, however, is a lackluster effort and I'm not surprised it wasn't released theatrically in America.
The movie discards everything the original had going for it: Interesting and likable characters. Witty humor. Gore and interesting kills.
None of the characters in the sequel are likable. While the lead actress was quite passable in the original as far acting goes, her replacement in the sequel is terrible.
The deaths are dull and boring, and not that gory.
I had to buy the DVD, as even the original Hatchet has never been released in South Africa theatrically or on DVD, and I want my money back! It's that bad. (and I'm an avid horror movie fan)
