Hatchet II Movie Review

Released 4 years after the original Hatchet, Hatchet II answers the question "What if we tried that again, had a good idea what we were doing, and a more horror veteran filled cast, but only half the money to do it?"
Kane Hodder returns as Victor Crowley, Tony Todd returns as Reverand Zombie, and we get even more faces this time around from all walks of horror cinema. So the plot? Well, a whole bunch of people go into Honey Island Swamp, but get this - a guy called Victor Crowley frequents the place, and kills anyone who enters!
No, its not particularly complicated, nor very different from the first movie.

We need to get Decker over the 1 million subscriber mark ! His channel deserves it and out of all the review channels on KZbin , this has to be one of the best . It's not your average review channel , you can relate to him and he is fucking funny 🙌

[@Lazrael32]

Aiming too small. I say 1 TRILLION!!!! he does deserve WAY more attention.

[@explorinjenkins349]

Whoa, chill. My guy is great, but, low budget horror reviews are a dime a dozen. Dead Meat already cornered the market on this. Decker needs to expand and sell out.

[@dpglounge4900]

Andy too

[@MusingSprite3045]

Here, Here!

[@sebastianemond5313]

Definitely more than a million. Also, I've said it before, but Decker needs a comic book and a movie centered around him.

[@honestdave]

Fun fact when Victor Crowley and Trent are fighting it's more than just Jason versus Leatherface considering that Kane Hodder also did stunts for Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 as Leatherface so it's Leatherface versus Leatherface as well

[@jazzyjones9694]

I spotted Llyod Kaufman at 14:29 😅 "Troma" represent

[@UlshaRS]

22:48 Out of all the comical zombie ghost kills the least believable thing was the 8-pack on Todd's dismembered torso.

[@screamqueensfan288]

He was pulled out of off his skin. So what's left was only his muscles. Weird kill, but creative.

[@SirRobinBP]

10:55 when Tony Todd asks Danielle if she has an Uncle, was that a reference to Michael Meyers?

[@Demonlord4546]

I'm personally enjoying that decker inters himself into the movie, interacting with the characters for his "like and subscribe" bits. Never heard of this series or Candyman before now, excited to see the reviews

[@IBESMusic94]

Dude the intro showing the victims of the first film in daylight was so good. Made it feel more real somehow

[@ptonpc]

I liked the Hatchet series, it didn't take itself too seriously but was well made all things considered. The story was reasonably simple but it works.

[@onispeck7207]

Adam Green had the first 3 planned out from the start and it shows with how much care they're given I loved Victor Crowley too even though some people hated it. The whole franchise is horror comedy done right

[@ptonpc]

@@onispeck7207 Indeed. You could watch the first three as one long continuous film.

[@onispeck7207]

@@ptonpc oh you definitely can. I've had a couple of straight hatchet marathons and they all fit together so well

[@CanadianCyrus]

This movie series does soo much for me with soo little. Just a simple set em up, knock em down in a small swamp area, and yet I can't get enough of the Hatchet/Victor Crowley movies. Also I remember mentioning the Feast Trilogy on one of Deckers Twitch streams and he said he hadn't seen any of them. That definitely needs to be something to make your watch list Decker and anyone else into movies like the Hatchet series.

[@cuylshepherdton7437]

The only good Feast is the first. The sequels are straight garbage.

[@B-Dad]

@@cuylshepherdton7437 Feast 2 is fun. It’s not good but it’s a bunch of fun. #BabyFly #FamilyFunForAll #FeastTrilogy

[@Lava91point0]

Initially it was just your basic "under siege by monsters" plot, it had elements of From Dusk til Dawn, second was ok, little mean spirited but regardless fun, then after watching the 3rd it's like they just gave up on any coherency and were like fk it.@@B-Dad

[@MichaelRainey]

Candyman gets overlooked in the horror community?

[@GriffinPilgrim]

Sort of seems like an actual Jason Vorhees vs Candyman fight would be kinda dull. It'd be a few minutes of Jason standing in front of a mirror until it becomes clear he doesn't speak, let alone say "Candyman" three times, the end.

[@thegreatstoneddragon9432]

How about saying "Candyman" 5 times then "Beatlejuice" 3 times and then seeing what happens?

[@GriffinPilgrim]

@@thegreatstoneddragon9432 My guess? That was what caused the Death Stranding world state.

[@seanwilkinson7431]

Saying "shit," "fuck," and "asshole," talking about drinking urine, mass murder, and excessive gore: perfectly fine. Mentioning childbirth and premarital sex: no money for you! KZbin: where making sense doesn't make dollars.

[@otaha1988]

Quite honestly your method for liking and subscribing to your video mid-review is amazing. It was both entertaining and reminded me to like the video

[@EmeryAngst]

Great to see that you’re, seemingly, in high spirits as of late Decker. Really hitting a groove. Keep it up my dude.

[@nicksothep8472]

Right, never heard of this franchise, but the fact that ten minutes into the movie the first victim died by being decapitated with his own guts, I'm definitely in, if not a fan already 🏴‍☠️🖤👍🏻 Edit: yeah, definitely a fan, love the gore, the double kill by the double chainsaw was eeepic! According to your final considerations I suppose I'm a gore hound, and I'm alright with it. I watch a lot of different style movies, mostly of the B category though 😅, and in this particular kind of flick i don't care much about the characters, once they're introduced and their traits exposed I'm satisfied, so I'm perfectly fine with the level of commitment I see here, meaning, pushing most of the budget and effort towards effects.

[@Lava91point0]

Oh trust me this franchise is nothing if not gory, the deaths are often drawn out and nonsensically played up, but violent none the less. I dare say, a smidget more so than Toxic Avenger movies.

[@slutsandguts8146]

I can't wait to see your take on the other movies in the series. The kills get crazy.

[@Goodlordwhatshappeninginthere]

Y'know, I've been watching Decker so long names as ridiculous as "Jack Cracker" are beginning to sound normal to me.

[@dananichols349]

Hey, Decker, maybe you could do a series of "Friday the 13th" adjacent movies by reviewing movies that were filmed in areas that were adjacent to Camp No-be-bo-sco, where "Friday the 13th" was filmed. So, horror movies that were filmed in Warren County, Sussex County, or norther NJ in general.

great review

[@wenaolong]

Mr. Clive "Reverend Zombie" Carver offered Trent $1000, a whole $500 up front if he'd fill the shoes of 25-30 people, whom he had just offered each $500 to take a much smaller share of the same risk as a single person would bear alone. If he's not haggling up to at least $3K then he's foolhardy as well as a bad bargainer.
