Review of Hatchetman (2003) by Dean K — 01 Nov 2005

Hatchetman.

Starring: Cheryl Burns.

Director: Robert Tiffi.

Strippers who live in the same apartment building and dance at the same club are targeted by a masked serial killer. Is the murderer really the recently released violent felon they all testified against, or is there something else behind the killings?

Although not as bad as some other slasher-flicks I've seen--most of the girls are decent actors--this is still not something you'd want to go out of your way for. The script is weak, there's entirely too many characters being dumb to keep the story moving (although the characters who behave stupidly ARE portrayed as stupid even before they run into dark alleys so they can be killed in private), and the killer and what motivates him are also lame.

The only positive note is that most of the actresses playing the strippers are actually built like the exotic dancers I know. Most of these movies don't seem to know how to cast their strippers.
