One thing I thought I mentioned - did it feel like Madman was a big influence on Hatchet to you too? Speaking of solid slashers, have you seen the Cold Prey films? The first was released around the same time as hatchet, and it kinda ticked every box I found was missing in that film.

I also agree with you on Frozen - one of the best horror movies I've seen in the last few years.

While the gore and practical effects were fantastic, I found it completely lacking in atmosphere and tension, which is a major sore point for me with any horror. I also didn't like the increased levels of obnoxiousness from most of the cast. I think it's a pity as Green did fantastic work with Frozen, which was tense and gruesome... I might give it another shot, though, as it is in the vault here too. JP Mulvanettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381363705787780363noreply@blogger.com
