October Horror Movie Challenge Day 8 - Hatchet (2006)















When my buddy Bennett recommended that I watch this 2006 indie film homage to slasher films, I noticed a certain deviously sly look on his face that told me: "you don't know what you're getting yourself into with this one,"and boy was he right. Hatchet takes everything synonymous with classic slasher horror films (i.e. Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street) flips it on its ear, cranks it right up to 11 and never turns it down. But for me, a fan of the genre, it was a fantastic surprise.

I don't have a lot to say about Hatchet other than I enjoyed it a lot. If you really like gory slasher horror mixed with dark humor, then it is for you. If you don't really like it, then stay away from this one.
