That being said, just how good is this movie?? I haven't heard anything until about a month ago... and all I've heard is stuff like "one of the best ever". I'm tempted to just go to Best Buy and buy the damn thing on a whim, and I NEVER do that.
if you like 80s slashers you'll dig it. If you don't, don't bother. It has the story of an 80s slasher like FRIDAY 13TH with the self-awareness of SCREAM and it also owes a great deal to AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON in that is alternately funny and tense.

This is Adam Green's love letter to the genre. It is fun and funny and gory as hell with 100% in-camera effects, no CG and it's done on a tiny budget.

I think it's awesome, but I'm a little biased toward my friend Adam. I'd say, buy it.

Oh, and I agree with not downloading - it is theft, pure and simple. Justify it how you wish, but it is stealing movies. It might not hurt a major studio, but HATCHET was very low-budget. If you download it, you're taking money from my friend, who has not yet made any money from this film... no one who had anything to do with the film has made any money off it yet. Please buy the film - hell, give it as a gift to someone!
