I thought Hatchet was a lot of fun. Yes they hyped that thing like a Mike Tyson Fight, but the movie was not made to be taken as some Horror epic that will reset the grounds of Horror. Name a slasher movie that has (except for maniac) Even Adam Green said that him self. And plus i thought it was a great movie for a guys 1st major feature film. And when you hire horror icons like Robert Englund and Tony Todd.. they are not cheap. Hence why they have limited screen time. It was a low budget movie and im 100% positive over 3/4 of the budget went to the SPFX team and Kane Hodders Salary. Robert Englud was probably the same cost as Kane even though Kane was there for the whole shoot and Robert was there for one or two days. And if it was my first major feature film. i would advertise who is in my movie big time. It draws intrest. But as a freshman effort i thoguth Adam really delivered what he wanted to do... the movie was fun and goffy and had some decent gore scenes. But its good to see a original film (even though alot of scenes were pulled from other horror films IE the burning, pumpkinhead etc etc) But its nice to see fresh talent that is doing his own thing and not going the remake routejust my rantMatt
