"It's not a remake, it's not a sequel, and it's not based on a Japanese one."
If you're a fan of horror flicks I highly suggest checking out this independent movie gone mainstream. It's not really getting too much attention with Rob Zombie's Halloween remake coming out and all however this movie is supposed to be great. Here are some links with information about it:
http://www.hatchetmovie.com/
http://www.myspace.com/victorcrowleylives
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0422401/
Director Adam Green
Synopsis:
A trio of horror icons--Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, and Tony Todd--join forces in this film that pays homage to genre classics with plenty of gore, giggles, and girls. In HATCHET, a tour of a creepy swamp turns deadly for a diverse group of vacationers.
-------------------- m00nshine is currently vacationing in Maui. Rumor has it he got rolled by drunken natives and is currently prostituting himself in order to pay for airfare back to the mainland but he's having trouble juggling a hairon addiction. He won't be back for a long while.

Yeah there is a book called Hatchet (by Gary Paulsen) however this movie has nothing to do with it. This is an original story.

Hey yeah that was a good book. Read it back in like grade 6 or 7 as one of those read with the class type things. There was a sequel if I remember correctly, called Brian's Winter. It's sort of a kids book, but I found it pretty interesting at the time with the whole living in the wilderness type thing.
Basically it's about this kid, Brian who is going to visit his dad up north I think. He has to get taken up there in a Cessna, but the pilot ends up having a heart attack on the plane ride up. The pilot had been showing Brian how easy it is to fly the plane, and when the pilot dies he flies it straight for as long as he can before the plane eventually runs out of fuel (the reason why they aren't able to find him). The plane crashes in a lake and Brian is forced to survive on his own.
Might have a few bits off but that's as best as I remember it.
As for that movie, looks about as plain and stereotypical of any other recent horror movie. But that's the way we like 'em, isn't it?

Well what Adam Green seems to be aiming for with the movie Hatchet is to bring back the late 70s - early 80s type Slasher flick which all of the critics seem to agree that he has succeeded in doing. Based on what I've read about it I highly doubt it's going to be like one of these lame horror flicks of recent years but I could very well be wrong. We'll see soon enough.

I like the book a lot too, there was a movie made out of it but you could tell it had a really low budget.

I just saw the R5 DVD. It is not a horror movie. It's a comedy with gore. With that said, it was hilarious and I loved it. There were some really great lines. I seriously laughed more than I did during Superbad(expect the penis part). Also for the first time in a long time I was actually hoping that one of the characters would not get killed because I liked his character so much(the black guy).
If you like movies like severance, behind the mask, and cabin fever you will really like it. If you haven't heard of any of the movies I just mentioned check them out too because they aren't known well but really good.
