Hatchet II (2010)
6/10
This is a step back from the first movie but still a must see for horror enthusiasts

Hatchet II (2010) is currently available on Amazon Prime and picks up where the last film left off in the swamps of Louisiana. Marybeth returns to the bayou and guilts the former boat tour operator to lead her expedition with a group of killers to destroy Victor Crowley once and for all. Crowley isn't going to go down without swinging. This movie is directed by Adam Green (Hatchet) and stars Tony Todd (Candy Man), Kane Hodder (Monster), Danielle Harris (Don't tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead), Parry Shen (Better Luck Tomorrow) and Tom Holland (Psycho II). My biggest gripe with this film is the storyline takes so long to get to the killing - Crowley doesn't even appear in the film until there's 32 minutes left in the movie. Way too much talking and back story. I did love watching Tony Todd reprise his role and play a prominent part in this. The gore is always outstanding in these pictures. The belt sander scene belongs in the horror hall of fame. Actually, the last 3 kill scenes are all excellent - belt sander, Todd and Crowley. I'm not sure they had to bring the Asian guy back in this film, but that's a theme I think Green enjoys weaving into these films. Overall this is a step back from the first movie but still a must see for horror enthusiasts. I'd score this a 6/10 and strongly recommend seeing it.
