Review of Hatchet (2006) by Eric H — 16 Jun 2013

From front to finish, all 84 minutes of "Hatchet" are pure slasher goodness. Rather than being just a stale homage to the franchise films that dominated his childhood, Green has actually created an icon all his own that pays loving tribute rather than references.

While Victor Crowley may never reach the heights of Freddy, Jason or Michael, he's certainly the stuff fan-favorites are made of, appropriate for the cult classic that this film is destined to become.

You just can't go wrong with a horror movie made by a fan with a talented cast and outrageous effects. It's the perfect movie to chill with on a Friday night and certainly one of the finest modern slashers to come along in a long time.
