2010 Film4 FrightFest Opening & Closing films announced: Hatchet II & The Last Exorcism

Friday, June 11, 2010 Craig Grobler 0 Comments

The 2010 Film4 FrightFest will kick off with the world Premiere of Adam Green’s Hatchet II. The highly anticipated sequel to his instant stalk-and-slash classic relating the murderous antics of the bayou butcher Victor Crowley.

Green has promised more of everything – fun, laughs, nastiness, splatter - in the new adventure that picks up from the moment Hatchet ended and follows Marybeth as she escapes from the clutches of Victor Crowley, learns the truth about his curse, and heads back into the haunted New Orleans swamp to seek revenge for her family and kill Victor Crowley once and for all.

It's probably worth noting that 55 gallons of blood were used in the making of the first Hatchet, Hatchet 2 reportedly used over 120 gallons of fake blood in principal photography alone.

It's rumoured that a number of the cast will be attending the Premiere.
