READ THE REVIEW AFTER THE JUMP

HERE'S OUR SPOILER FILLED SYNOPSIS

IN THE SPIRIT OF THE FIRST FILM, THE BEGINNING OF HATCHET II IS EXTREMELY BLUNT. WE OPEN ON MARYBETH (DANIELLE HARRIS, THE HALLOWEEN SERIES), WHO IS STILL SCREAMING IN THE CLUTCHES OF VICTOR CROWLEY (KANE HODDER). MARYBETH JABS VICTOR IN THE EYEBALL AND ESCAPES. SHE IS THEN SAVED BY, NONE OTHER THAN, JACK CRACKER. AFTER HE DISCOVERS HER LAST NAME, DUNSTON, HE KICKS HER OUT AND THREATENS TO SHOOT HER IF SHE DOESN'T LEAVE. VICTOR REAPPEARS AND KILLS CRACKER.  ROLL CREDITS.

JACK CRACKER GETS WRAPPED UP IN HIMSELF

ONCE AGAIN, ADAM GREEN APPEARS, THIS TIME HE'S THROWING UP. MARYBETH WALKS BY AND KNOCKS ON THE DOOR OF REV. (TONY TODD) ZOMBIE'S  DOOR. SHE THEN TALKS TO HIM ABOUT CROWLEY AND THE DEATH OF EVERYONE ON THE PREVIOUS TOUR. ZOMBIE TELLS HER THE FULL STORY OF VICTOR CROWLEY.

MRS. CROWLEY CURSING HER HUSBAND BEFORE HER DEATH.

ZOMBIE TELLS HER HE WILL TAKE HER BACK TO THE SWAMP IF SHE BRINGS HER UNCLE (TOM HOLLAND). MARYBETH GOES HOME AND GETS READY. SHE THEN GOES BACK TO ZOMBIE'S SHOP, WHERE A GROUP OF HUNTERS ARE AWAITING A PRESENTATION ON THE HUNT. MARYBETH, THE REV. AND THE FEW HUNTERS THEN HEAD TO THE SWAMP FOR ONE HELL OF A MAN HUNT. ONCE THERE, THEY ALL MEET THEIR GRIZLY FATES.

VICTOR CROWLEY HAS A THING FOR JAWS

THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE AFTER YOU TRY TO EAT A BOAT PROPELLER



SEX = DEATH, OF COURSE.

 REVIEW:
THIS DEFINATELY FEELS LIKE A SEQUEL. DANIELLE HARRIS FILLS THE ROLE WONDERFULLY, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT SHE FELT LIKE SHE HAD TO PROVE HERSELF. THE FILM FEELS RUSHED, AND DIDN'T FEEL VERY LONG AT ALL. THE GORE IS STILL GREAT, BUT THE WOUNDS LOOK A LITTLE TOO RUBBERY. THE MOST EFFECTIVE DEATH IS THAT OF VICTOR CROWLEY. HARRIS PUTS HIM IN HIS PLACE, AND AFTER THIS IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THE SERIES WILL CONTINUE, UNLESS THE GHOST CONCEPT IS FOLLOWED. OVERALL THIS IS A KICKASS FILM THAT DELIVERS THE GOODS IN A SWAMP THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE ONE IN THE FIRST FILM. DANIELLE HARRIS SHINES IN AN UNFAMILIAR ROLE.

DANIELLE HARRIS SENDS VICTOR CROWLEY TO HELL

NOW, LET'S MAKE THIS A TRILOGY!
