I do believe that about 19 out of every 20 Hollywood movies made are complete garbage. The ratio is even worse with horror flicks. No other genre contains as many bad movies as the slasher horror flicks.
I like good horror movies and hate the recent trend of torture porn flicks which is Hostel, the Saw Sequels, and pretty much anything from Eli Roth.
Hatchet is not going to be for everyone but the Director did a great job of making a fun self-aware movie. The movie is more a homage to the genre. It does not take itself serious at anytime. There is a lot of non CGI excessive gore but it is done over the top and is done for laughs. The movie is not scary nor was it designed to be scary.
The best part of the movie is that it creates some likable (yet goofy) characters who the audience can root for.
If you want to watch some mindless fun and like slasher movies then you could certainly do a lot worse. The movie is barely over 80 minutes and is filled with tongue in cheek humor, lots of bare breasts, and over the top violence.
I give it a 6 out of 10 which is quite good for this type of movie.
