i do not understand what the big hype be about this film . all the horror site be say that this movie have all the essential of an old american slasher flick that it would satisfy your need . even though this be similar to an old american slasher flick and my need be still not satisfied . my big problem with this movie be that we be now in the 2000 and not the 1980 . 1980 horror be the past and should stay in the past . horror movie have change so much that old movie now look cheesy and unrealistic . even though they be fun to watch and they do not offer the same realistic blood thirsty gore that the recent film offer . hatchet be cheesy and unrealistic and and down right awful . if we want to watch an old american slasher flick and i can just go back to the friday the 13th series and nightmare on elm street series and or the halloween series . i must admit and the movie be well than some of the horror movie be release but it be among the bad . the joke be not funny and the actor be horrible . i would personally stay away from this movie and never look back .
