Hatchetman

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.

From this movie we can learn that there is only one bone in the forearm (look closely at the place where there was palms of the victim in the scene where the cop examine the body who lies at the street under the white sheet).

Besides this a boobies movie, more dramatic is 'beverly hills 90210' :/ Not scary at all, better give the money to some poor guy. I give it as much as 2 because of two reasons: 1. I didn't find out who was the murderer in the first 15 minutes of the movie. 2. Nudity. And I give it only 2 because: 1. Somehow I don't like movies where all actors are beautiful, that makes me feel like I'm watching stupid soap opera. 2. This strip-girls can't dance. Only thing you can stare at are their boobies. 3. The plot is so weak. This a copy of many other slashers, nothing new, nothing to surprise you. Just a 1000--th part of some soap opera... Yawn... 4. NEW ANATOMY :)

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

This is the worst "Scream"-replica ever. Extremely bad acting, camera movement, sound, picture, directing, special effects and so on.

After 5 minutes, you've pretty much figured out who's going to survive the Hatchman's axeswinging. The only thing that will entertain people in this movie, is the boobs. The movie never goes five minutes without any form of nudity. Problem is, the girls aren't that pretty.

If you want nudity, rent a pornmovie. Chances are surprisingly big that it'll have a better story.

Avoid at all costs. I've used 7 dollars to rent this crap, so I feel that I have done my duties in this life not recommending this to anyone.

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.
