Boxoffice MagazineAmy Nicholson
Adam Green's inventively gruesome slasher is the widest unrated release in 25 years. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Hatchet II is distinguished both by a funky, frisky sense of humor, and gore of great quality and quantity. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
Outrageously over-the-top gore doubtless will scare off all but the heartiest genre aficionados. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
Hatchet II earns bragging rights with buckets of giddily over-the-top blood 'n' guts in sequences that are as gratuitous as they are amusingly ridiculous. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
Swift and amusingly brainless, Hatchet II more than delivers on splatter expectations. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley Morris
Every boogeyman and slasher cliché this movie borrows was better somewhere else. Although it probably wasn't grosser. Read full review
