Hatchetman

In one of the first scenes, this movie seemed to me as a very good one. It had the kind of stuff that you would usually see in a good horror movie. Until I saw it all. This was obviously a very low budget film. The effects were bad, some of the acting was lousy and the plot ? I wouldn't go there. This movie does not deserve it's place in the shelf marked "horror", why ? Owing to the fact that there is more erotic than horror or action in this movie after my opinion. After seeing this film, you are left with the thought of a cliché that was suppose to be a good horror movie. A movie about a lunatic, running ironed with a big axe slaying people with some strippers on a pole in between the "scary" scenes.

To start my review, I have to say this is not a great movie, but it's so insane and way out of left field that it actually becomes a bit entertaining. Crazy, makes no sense, and it could be one of the worse films ever made, and yet, it's crazy B grade tropes, bad dubbing, and lack of actual plot(seriously how did this get a R rating and it wasn't a unrated release) but the humour, the lack of any coherent plot, give this a B grade and silly slasher, a so bad it's good feel, and I enjoyed, it's silliness!!!

I thought this movie was kind of funny and exciting and I enjoyed trying to guess who the killer was and think about the various leads and clues in the film. However, when I've finished it I was absolutely disgusted by it. I like horror fiction and thinks that "Friday the 13th" is like fine art, however this 21th Scream-clone called Hatchetman is really bad. Some scenes were completely inexplicable like the tough-cop routine which should have had no place in a horror movie like this and is out of tough with an otherwise different character (I mean, the leading cop). The acting is really poor at times. I thought the mask of the killer looked better than the one in Scream though. Anyhow, this movie (Hatchetman) belongs to the category of extremely inept, childish movies similar to Ed Wood maybe or to the movies like "Christina's House" (look up the director if you are looking for a real treat in inept horror film making). In the end Hatchetman just leaves you bewildered and disgusted.

First i am not the type of guy who will complain about some boobies, the movie is about a serial killer who kill stripper, so then why not showing boobies? (too bad we don't see the ones of Claudia tought) The killer is not very original with his Halloween mask and of course the hatchet, but still he is kinda of fun to watch.

We have to take this movie as a low budget z-series, thats why we don't see much of the killing and mostly victims after killings, but the blood is decent and all.

Well lets say i had a great time watching it, sure some plot things are badly done etc but if you take it as a low budget pop corn movie, taking on the example of Friday the 13 and Halloween, you could end up having a good time.

The brief movie description on the back of the DVD case caught my eye and I knew this was one to add to my 'B' movie collection. College coeds by day, strippers by night and a brutal serial killer on the loose.

You will be disappointed if you are looking for a unique thriller, this certainly falls into the 'B' category.

I new what I was getting though and was pleased to find that at least the main cast, Mia Zottoli in particular, was pleasant to the eyes. The plot, twists and all, didn't matter much. After all we are talking about college coeds by day and strippers by night.
