Only the most hardcore of gore fans are likely to be comfy with Hatchet 2.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

[Adam Green] has ensured that not only is Hatchet II a sequel that compliments the original, but it's a balls-to-the-wall bloody blast from start to finish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 23, 2019

While some of the kills seem more over the top, it's clear that most of the cast is there simply to become victims, and there's plenty of fake blood and gobby bits to go around.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 1, 2018

More of the same, which means you probably already know if you like it. (I mostly did.)

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2011

Once you get past its relentless gore, Hatchet II just isn't a very good movie, and Green's struggles to get it released are far more interesting than the movie itself.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2011

Unnecessary back story, toilet humor, and overlong gags involving gore, yes, this is a sequel to "Hatchet" alright!

| Dec 5, 2010

Not even a gnarly beheading can rescue this chop job

| Original Score: B | Oct 22, 2010

Certainly gory and goofy at times, but nearly as amusing as the first, riddled with unlikable characters, lazy dialogue and a dull middle act.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 14, 2010

It goes for the jocular jugular, and if you want to see the human body mutilated in clever and amusing ways than this is the film for you.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 5, 2010

[A] spurious waste of time... empty and meaningless, even grading on the amateurish-low-budget-horror curve...

| Oct 5, 2010

Mosquitoes bite. Gators tear. But only Victor Crowley strangles a man with his own intestines until his head explodes.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 5, 2010

This is basically an excuse to watch skulls crushed like melons, guts ripped from body cavities and torsos halved. And such things go on with relentless and disgusting regularity.

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 1, 2010

Swift and amusingly brainless, Hatchet II more than delivers on splatter expectations.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 1, 2010

Say a prayer that there's no Hatchet III in the future.

| Oct 1, 2010

Suffers from lamentable acting, murky cinematography and, for the most part, lamely unfunny dialogue.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Oct 1, 2010

"Hatchet II" falls prey to a problem that typically plagues sequels: it's not just more of the same; it's WAY more of the same.

| Oct 1, 2010

Doesn't match the pure, unadulterated charm of its precursor, but gets the job done by devising some of the more inventive deaths in horror history. Danielle Harris slam-dunks an emotionally demanding role.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 30, 2010

The most shocking thing about the sequel is that it's a dramatic improvement.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2010

"Hatchet II" doesn't have a lick of wit.

| Original Score: D | Sep 30, 2010
