Mary-Beth (this time portrayed by none other than scream queen Danielle Harris) has fought her way free from the clutches of killer Victor Crowley and made her way back to the safety of the city.
After visiting Rev. Zombie, (Tony Todd) Mary-Beth learns that her father was one of the people responsible for killing Crowley. She decides that she needs to go back out, retrieve her father and brother's bodies and put an end to Crowley's reign of terror.
Once again, written and directed by Adam Green. Starring Perry Shen, Tony Todd, Danielle Harris and Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley.
The over the top, 80's homage style of the series goes into full effect in this sequel without any signs of hesitation. The tone of this film is much more serious than it's predecessor, but still has it's cheesy charm added in with a good portion of the kills.
Like the first, the kill scenes are highly gore filled, probably even more so in this one as a lot of death scenes ended with a large blood splatter hitting a wall. This effect was more than likely used to save some money and the obvious reason of keeping the movie looking like it was a cheesy 80's flick.
For what it was, I enjoyed it and was not expecting anything special. This film did what I expected it to do and I am happy about that!
We all need a little cheese in our life and for that, I have to thank Adam Green. A true fan of the genre and a master at what he does.
Hatchet II is gonna get a 7 out of 10.
