Hatchet was pure and simple....gory 80's style fun. People find it so easy to pick apart modern movies when in reality most of our beloved 80's movies sucked as much. The entire F13th series for example. Mostly very poorly made movies but, like Hatchet, I love 'em all to death. I see so many people who weren't even around in the 80's saying these movies aren't "old school"........................................Larry<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI agree. It seems as though horror just isnt original anymore. So instead of being original, many times directors just figure adding tons gore to the film will make it decent. And although a lot of gore is pleasing to us horror freaks, that doesnt necessarilly mean its a good film. But I must say, just because someone wasnt born in the 80's, doesnt mean they cant fully appreciate the genre of "old school "slasher" films. I mean, with some of the crap that is coming lately, what else do you expect the younger society of horror lovers to turn to?
