HATCHET II [2010]

Up-and-coming Scream Queen Danielle Harris replaces Tamara Feldman as Marybeth in the second instalment of Adam Green's Hatchet series.
The film picks up exactly where the first film left off, as we see Marybeth and a gang of hunters track down the Bayou Buthcher with the intention of killing him...only we all know it doesn't quite work out that way.  It's even bloodier and sillier than the first film, causing it to get pulled by several theaters after a few days due to it's excessive gore.  It's horribly acted, awkwardly paced and just plain ridiculous although it just narrowly misses the mark of being one of those "so bad it's good" horror films.

2 still not a hatchet out of 5
