Review: In 2006, Adam Green took a very interesting and exciting low-budget slasher, which has proved positive, although it is designed more for a narrow range of audience. Ironically, this product turned out pretty strong, because earlier on Adam Green was attached only one a failing comedy “Coffee and donuts”, but in terms of the horror thriller “Axe” was the debut of Green. With regard to personal characteristics of the director, then I previously with his work not particularly experienced. The only thing I remember Adam Green as an actor in low-budget horror film “Gingerbread villain-2”, where he had a very funny role, but to me it was enough to describe Green as outstanding, showing the passion for black humor and violence, and personality.

Despite the significant differences between the “baked” and “ax”, clearly shows that Adam Green likes original bloody slasher, not devoid of humor and banter share of iconic and well-known horror movies. I keep it in the first place, the “Friday the 13th” about the infamous Jason Voorhees, who gave a lot of noise and fear in the 80’s. So, “Axe” to be in front of us as a kind of clone of “Friday the 13th”, because the foundation is very similar story: Victor Crowley avenges the marshes for his sad childhood, thus focuses on the many killings, teen, night forest … It seems that is what we already seen in the “Friday the 13th”, but not so simple. In contrast to the aforementioned franchise “Axe” is entertaining and has a lot more humor and mockery, rather than films about Jason. Typically, the entire film is expressed in the banter too bloody murders and comicality behavior of the protagonists.

After seeing the first part of “Hatchet” in my mind what it was originally a double sense. On the one hand, the movie is interesting, cruel and good in terms of slasher. On the other, all seemed somehow a chur absurd and fabricated, so I understand those who are disappointed with this product and left a wave of negative emotions. Perhaps these people wanted to see scary, intense horror, hence the disappointment follows. Fortunately, some of these people, for the first part has proved to be more well and takes pride of place among the low-budget slasher bloody.

For the second part, it has many advantages as a slasher and a continuation.

As noted slesher. Wanting many more murders. It seems to be in the first part of this was given a decent attention, but the sequel is made in the same spirit, with all this violence increased in several times. At least the dead bodies in the sequel is clearly more than the picture in 2006. Just tell the originality and diversity. Violent ideas and imagination is not exhausted and Adam Green in the sequel to “Hatchet” is demonstrated. Murder of Victor Crowley continues to shock us with their cruelty and make us afraid and in some ways admire the incredible power and brutality of this maniac.

Continue. Here as I prefer to focus on three aspects. First, the appearance of nudity and erotic scenes. I have to say, do not think that I am some sex maniac, for at this moment I am positively only as a representative of the male sex, but not much else, but the presence of beautiful girls are always pleased and pleasing to the eye. In the sequel to “ax” the existence of sensuality is reflected not once, respectively adorns sequel and puts it on a higher bar than the original, where such things almost did not pay attention.

The second aspect of the stupidity and lack of playing less humor, though there may be a contradiction, since most of the audience liked the first “Hatchet” is a comic of it all. Sequel to this plan seemed darker and more serious. Stupid dialogue was less, there was a painful wait, the so-called suspense, Victor Crowley continues to severely mangle and dismember their victims. (However cruelty boasts the first part) All of these criteria accordingly affect the atmosphere and give the film a darker character. Personally, I continue not found anything so ridiculous. Here the comedy takes a back seat, and reserves the right to lead a bloody, cruel horror, but for me this course is always a plus.

The third aspect of the “Hatchet 2” as a continuation of the successful, I want to highlight a smooth transition from the first part to the second. This course reminded me a lot “Halloween” by John Carpenter “, which was something like that, and if specifically, the final events of the first film, do not make bullet and find their being in the sequel, and they are executed correctly and do not give any nonsense or ironic evocation of the villain. What is over the original, and is on the extension without there errors.

That seems to be all the advantages. I do not see any downsides, but if you take a set of two parts of “Hatchet”, and a detailed analysis of each film, respectively, then they can be identified, but I think out of place here to cling to such pictures, which by their very nature, and do not compete with the classical fiefs like “Friday the 13th” or “Halloween.”

Just wanted to say a few words about the cast. If the first part we are pleased with his presence Englund, Hodder and Tony Todd, the sequel to replace Kruger came Thomas Holland, who of course is not as known as Englund, but the true horror fans need to know this extraordinary personality. In addition to Holland in the sequel lit Mihailoff, who played earlier in the “Trancers,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3”, “Pumpkinhead”, and his role was in my opinion one of the most striking and unusual. It was really interesting to see such a charismatic character in the film.

The continued low-budget slasher, the picture is made on a high level and looks just as easily as the first film. Do not wait for something new, serious. If you do not like the first part, and the second will not get anything positive. Movie is purely for fans of bloody, slasher meat, nothing more. If you like these pictures as “Wrong Turn 2: Dead End”, “Friday 13”, “Blood Game”, the “Hatchet 2” to view recommend.
