The slasher film all but died with the release of SCREAM (1996). From that point on the genre became populated with slick studio productions starring the latest round of teen television stars while gore and terror all but disappeared. HATCHET director Adam green clearly longs for the early days of the VCR when films like MADMAN (1982) THE BURNING (1981) and THE PROWLER (1981) gave us psycho killers with grudges deformities and axes to grindusually very graphically against the heads of promiscuous teens.BRBRBRBRBRHATCHETs killer is Victor Crowley a grossly misshapen New Orleans bayou boogeyman who suffered an accidental hatchet to the face when his father tried to rescue him from a fire. When broken-hearted college boy Ben (Joel Moore) ditches his friends during a pre-Katrina Mardi Gras in favour of a cheesy Haunted Swamp tour he finds himself on a boat full of misfits with an inexperienced tour guide (Perry Shen) just in from Detroit. Soon the boat is sinking and the passengers who also include an aspiring porn director and his two stars a middle-aged couple and a young woman with a vendetta against Crowley--come face-to-face with the monstrous killer.BRBRBRBRBRGreen clearly isnt against mixing humour in with his scares---HATCHET is rather liberal with laughs and has a generally light-hearted tone. But when the gore comes in its strong and noxious---though usually very dimly lit this is messy stuff. He also shows his appreciation for horror film history by giving cameos to Robert Freddy Krueger England and Tony Candyman Todd and casting Kane Jason Voorhees Hodder as Crowley. HATCHET is a lively funny and reverent 1980s-style gore film that is certain to get a roomful of gorehounds howling with approval.
