My review of Hatchet(if you had enough time to glance at it, if yes, then you truly are a slacker) stated that "I think green has genuine passion for horror genre. he doesn't seem like one of those guys who looks to make a 'Quick buck'." After watching hatchet 2 my opinion hasn't changed. However, that doesn't mean i will be generous to hatchet II.
Hatchet II immediately starts after Hatchet ended. i wont state the synopsis as you can read it from the IMDb page. hatchet 2 surprisingly shows Kane Hodder can act. its not give-him-an-Oscar-pronto acting job not even a golden globe worthy job. but its not a horrendous job unlike some a-listers(*cough* Megan Fox *cough*).
There are plenty of gory kills. the characters like in all horror movies(including part 1) do silly things to get chopped off. unlike part 1, there is genuine suspense this time around. the pay-off however after ratcheting up the suspense isn't as good as you would expect. there is a nice little reference to Braindead-a superb Peter Jackson sick-comedy.
However the film is very tedious. the humor isn't funny. there are no hot babes making out with each other(my guilty pleasure...). there are no likable characters. on the other hand, it was nice to see horror veterans John Carl Buechler, tom Holland and tony Todd in a movie together. Danielle Harris, despite looking ultra-hot isn't good as she was in h2.
On the whole, despite (VERY) inventive kills and suspense, isn't good enough to be memorable. its not that it is bad it is just uninteresting.
