Hatchet II is a horror movie written and directed by Adam Green. It is a sequel to the 2006 film Hatchet, and it continues the story of the vengeful Bayou Butcher Victor Crowley. The movie stars Danielle Harris, Kane Hodder, and Tony Todd, among others. The story picks up right where the first movie ended. Marybeth (played by Danielle Harris) has just escaped from Crowley's clutches, but she is haunted by the memories of her family's brutal murder at the hands of the monster. She returns to New Orleans to seek revenge and enlists the help of Reverend Zombie (played by Tony Todd), who promises to take her to Crowley's lair in the swamp.
As Marybeth and her new allies venture deeper into the swamp, they encounter a group of hunters led by Trent (played by R.A. Mihailoff), who is also on a mission to kill Crowley. However, things quickly go wrong when Crowley shows up and starts wreaking havoc.
The movie is a gory and suspenseful tale of survival as Marybeth and the other characters try to outsmart and outrun Crowley, who is relentless in his pursuit of victims. The special effects are top-notch, and the kills are gruesome and creative, providing ample thrills for horror fans.
What sets Hatchet II apart from other slasher movies is its self-awareness and sense of humor. The movie is not afraid to poke fun at itself and the genre as a whole, with characters commenting on horror movie clichés and the absurdity of their situation. Kane Hodder, who plays Crowley, is a fan-favorite horror icon who brings a sense of menace and dark humor to the role.
The movie also has some great performances, particularly from Danielle Harris, who portrays Marybeth as a tough and determined heroine. Tony Todd brings gravitas to his role as Reverend Zombie, and his scenes with Harris are some of the movie's best. The supporting cast of hunters and thrill-seekers add a lot of personality to the movie, with each character having their own quirks and motivations.
Overall, Hatchet II is a worthy follow-up to the cult classic original. It ups the ante in terms of gore and suspense while still maintaining the series' signature humor and self-awareness. As a horror movie, it doesn't take itself too seriously, but it delivers the scares and thrills that fans of the genre crave.
Hatchet II is a 2010 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.5 and a MetaScore of 49.
