Hatchet

I'm finally getting 'round to reviewing Hatchet after seeing it over a year ago. Hatchet is similar to Friday the 13th, but more amusing. If you watch the trailer, it gives you a bit of backstory as to what the film is about. Anyway, I found Hatchet to be highly entertaining. It's insanely cliche and that's what makes it so fun to watch. It's basically about a group of tourists at Mardi Gras who decide to take a swamp tour. Of course something happens and they get stranded in the woods in the bayou. And what a surprise, there happens to be a psycho killer on the loose. You have your stereotyped kids, too. The black guy, the perverted adult, the slutty girls, the nerdy kid, and Asian guy, and the old couple. I think that's all of them. Each one of them gets killed in a fun and bloody way and that makes it so much more enjoyable. Robert Englund also has a bit part at the beginning. Overall, Hatchet, with its cliches, is a cheesy romp through the horror genre. I give it 4.5/5 stars. I also made a fan video to go with the movie. Here it is:

The Haunting in Connecticut

Ok, so I'm finally getting back to my reviews after a bit of a hiatus. Anyway, I recently saw The Haunting in Connecticut and I was pretty hopeful after hearing decent things about it. Plus, I love things based on actual events. I do have to say that the movie was pretty good overall, but the ending disappointed me. I hate when horror films have 'happy' endings, if you wanna call it that. Other than that, the film did have its moments where I was a bit frightened. However, it didn't make me jump or feel any sort of nervousness towards what was about to happen. There were some silly moments, in my opinion, and they probably could've been left out. The acting was ok, but Virginia Madsen's character was really the only one I connected with. I'd say give this one a shot, but I wouldn't spend my money to own it. I give it 3/5 stars.
