"The franchise has embraced its true nature: horror comedy. The film does as much winking at its core constituency as blinking blood out of its eyes. It's loaded with in-jokes and boasts one genuinely funny performance, from Colton Dunn, whose ode to food is a showstopper. "Hatchet II" doesn't scare but amuses fans with increasingly ridiculous deaths... It doesn't make a lick of sense, and the real curse is its painfully repetitive dialogue, but who cares? You don't go to this film for Sorkinesque repartee; you go for the world's longest chainsaw, or equal-opportunity genital mutilations, or very, very long bludgeonings. And here they are, in buckets." - Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times
