Hatchet II

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Funnier and more gleefully gory than most slasher sequels, Hatchet II aims for so-bad-it's-good territory, but can't quite hack it.

Mosquitoes bite. Gators tear. But only Victor Crowley strangles a man with his own intestines until his head explodes. Go to Full Review

This is basically an excuse to watch skulls crushed like melons, guts ripped from body cavities and torsos halved. And such things go on with relentless and disgusting regularity. Go to Full Review

4/5
Swift and amusingly brainless, Hatchet II more than delivers on splatter expectations. Go to Full Review

2/5
A rehash of the first movie that felt more like it was cashing in on the debut entry being a moderate success, with the filmmakers getting about as far as throwing the "2" into the title as far as developing a script. Go to Full Review

4/5
[Adam Green] has ensured that not only is Hatchet II a sequel that compliments the original, but it's a balls-to-the-wall bloody blast from start to finish. Go to Full Review

Connor D @Chills_Thrills_Podcast 15 hrs ago Do you need an excuse to watch skulls being crushed, people being cut in half, limbs being torn off or or guts getting ripped out?? Of course you don't, but Hatchet 2 is here to give you that exact reason! A film that in my opinion is better than its predecessor, Hatchet 2 delivers the goods and establishes Victor Crowley as a household name! See more
Josiah C @JosiahCuff Oct 14, 2026 This one is right up there with the first as the best in the series! There's some kickass kills and this time around we get a fantastic performance from Danielle Harris as Marybeth and an expanded role for the always fantastic and memorable Tony Todd as well as a surprise return from another actor I won't spoil here. There's some great macabre humor and fountains of blood and viscera. What's not to love? See more
