Hatchet 2 - DVD

This long-sought-after Bela Lugosi film is based on a real-life occurrence, and one of the strangest events in ocean-going history. In 1872, the American cargo ship Marie Celeste was discovered at sea off the coast of England with sails half raised, cargo intact and not a soul on board. This tale offers but one explanation for the eerie ghost ship, suggesting that deranged captain Anton Lorenzen (Lugosi) was murdering the sailors one by one, unbeknownst to the rest of the crew. Also released under the title The Mystery of The Marie Celeste, this is a must-see for Lugosi fans.

Hatchet II picks up right where the original Hatchet ends, as the quiet but hot-tempered Marybeth (Danielle Harris, Halloween) barely escapes from the clutches of the mysterious Crowley (Crowley (Kane Hodder, Friday the 13th), who has already has murdered all of Marybeth's friends and other vacationers in the New Orleans' swamp country. Marybeth recruits a team of hired guns and returns to the bayou to exact her revenge, but quickly discovers that even with an army of hunters at her side, the murderous fury of Crowley cannot be contained. Ultimately, it will be up to Marybeth alone to defeat the seemingly indestructible Crowley, but not before learning the truth about a twisted secret he shares with her own family! Filled with Inchbuckets of giddily over-the-top blood 'n' gutsInch (The Hollywood Reporter), not to mention a Inchfunky, frisky sense of humorInch (The Onion AV Club), the unrated Hatchet II serves up a ferocious and furious dose of splatterific entertainment-just like in old days!

It was supposed to be a sequel to a cult hit slasher movie, The Mutilator, but instead it turned into a reunion of terror. Terry Kiser (Weekend at Bernies) stars in this hilarious thriller that shows how far some might go to make a killing at the box office.
