Hatchetman

Hmm! I just rented this film not too long ago.. Well, as the saying goes.. 'Never judge a book by its cover..' But it's more like 'Never judge a Video/DVD by its cover..'

Well, after seeing this. I thought to myself 'What the hell is this..?' I've seen Friday the 13th, Scream, Halloween, and a few other teen slasher movies. But this one to me, was simply going over the top..

So, you got some serial killer going around slaying strippers.. That's mostly the plot.. Yeah! It does kind of keeps you guessing 'til the end.. and yeah! These films has been done many times before.. That's the problem!

I think nowadays there are so many slasher films.. Each one has its own set of 'tones'.. It's very hard to see which ones that would 'keep your feet on the ground'.. But Hatchet Man kept my feet off the ground.

It was watchable.. Yes! But I wouldn't put my money where my mouth is..

I'm giving this one (on a whole..) a serious 1 out of 10..! 10 out of 10 for the actresses for stripping..!

Totally diabolical..!!

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.

1/10

It's obviously very low budget but this was no excuse for such cheap schlock. This is mostly a succession of not-so-great stripping scenes at a strip club (where women only bare their breasts) cut with short, disappointing murders committed by a masked maniac dubbed Hatchetman because of the weapon he seems to use. This is also a festival of horrible acting headlined by the obnoxious, overacting building manager and by the biggest-breasted star stripper. The grieving scenes are particularly pathetic and fake. The only not-so-bad actors are probably the detective and the new curly-haired stripper. The writing is below soap-opera quality. The build-up to the murders is lame (except the first one) and the murders themselves are over in a flash with a splash of blood on a wall and a quick glance (or not) of the victim. There's no suspense, no horror. There's a pretense at a murder mystery but it quickly becomes obvious who the killer is. The characters act stupidly and unrealistically. The ending is beyond lame. This pathetic, oblivious, unoriginal and unfunny excuse for a B-movie film is not worth watching.

Rating: 2 out of 10 (terrible)

This movie(or should I say travesty?) was in the bargain bin in a local movie store for two bucks. I figured, what the hell? It can't be so bad that I would regret dishing out two dollars for it. Unfortunately, I do regret it and I'm here to warn you not to see this piece of garbage. It was a very agonizing hour and a half experience.

The acting is seriously awful, I guess should expect it from a Showtime film but still, did they think they had quality actors when they were producing this? The story is nothing but a horrible cliché slasher only the killer was stupider than any movie I've ever seen. The music and everything else are also terrible. If you made the same mistake I made by purchasing this movie, do yourself a favor and throw it out.

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.
