Rating: ★★★★★★★★½☆

To help one of their broken-hearted friends, Ben (Joel Moore), get over the breakup with his cheating girlfriend, a group of teens head to Mardi Gras. The plan is to use the tried and true method of sex, drugs and rock and roll as a way to get his mind off of his ex-girlfriend. To their dismay, Ben just isn’t into it. Instead of partaking in all the things that make Mardi Gras worth going to, he talks one of his friends, Marcus (Deon Richmond) into going with him on a New Orleans Haunted Swamp Boat Tour. As they proceed through the swamps they are treated to ghosts in the form of swamp gas and the story of local legend, Victor Crowley. Victor was a deformed boy killed by accident at the hands of some young pranksters. This led to Victor’s father accidentally putting a hatchet in Victor’s face. Victor’s father eventually died from grief, but legend has it that Victor still roams the swamps at night, looking for his daddy and dispatching any unwelcome visitors that dare invade his swamp. When the tour boat becomes grounded, forcing the group to enter the swamp on foot, Hatchet delves into full-fledge ’80s slasher mode as they try to get out of the swamp while coming face to face with the legend himself.
