  Kane knows Horror

  
  

   

  
  

  This was posted on the “Hatchet” journals by one of the stars, Kane Hodder (aka “Jason” from the “Friday the 13th” films) after he saw a rough cut of the film.

  
  

   

  
  

  I just thought it was promising because this guy’s seen it all.  And if he got excited about the film… well, as the entry title says, if anyone knows the genre — it’s him.

  
  

   

  
  

  Although I agree with my wife’s observation when she said, “I’ve never read anything that mentioned ‘kills’ in it so many times”… but then again, the guy does have the word – tattoed on his inside bottom lip!

  Hey everybody. Kane Hodder here.  Sorry I didn’t make any journal entries while we were shooting, but it was a pretty exhausting show for me.  Fun as hell though.

  
  

   

  
  

  I tried to create a different type of character than you have ever seen before. Between Adam Green [the director] and me, I think you will agree we succeeded in doing just that.

  
  

   

  
  

  Ok, now the good part. I went to the editing suite on Friday and I watched the entire movie with Adam, the composer and the editor. Unbelievable! It is f****** great!!!  I don’t even know what to say.  THIS IS THE BEST HORROR MOVIE I HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH!  That is the absolute truth.  I hope you guys know that I wouldn’t just say that for publicity either.  I have never done that.

  
  

   

  
  

  The kills in “Hatchet” are fantastic. You know that I love to be creative with the kills.  I think it’s really important.  What really amazed me was that the kills were already great as written.  I usually use my sick imagination to add to each kill.  This time Adam beat me to it.  The kills are so violent and creative.  That’s what we fans love.

  
  

   

  
  

  My favorite kill that I ever did in a film up until now was the sleeping bag in Friday 7.  What made it so great was the audience reaction to it in the theater. Cheering!  I have never seen that reaction to one of my kills since.  What makes me so excited is that several of the kills in “Hatchet” will bring that same response back.  Cheering.  I love that s***.  I guarantee you will love the kills.  I have never said that before.

  
  

   

  
  

  The acting performances are incredible too.  There is not one weak performance in the film.  I know that sounds impossible for a horror movie, but it’s true.  Trust me, ok?  You will enjoy every character in the film. And even care about them. The entire cast is great.  

  
  

   

  
  

  Even though the acting, the violence and the story are great, that isn’t even the best part of the movie.  The dialogue between the characters is my favorite thing about the movie.  It is so well written.  In most horror movies, we are used to having to sit through boring, meaningless scenes of sh***y dialogue between the kills.  Not this time.  Like I said, the dialogue is my favorite part of the movie.  It’s hard to imagine I’m saying this but some of the dialogue scenes remind me so much of a Tarantino scene.  I’m not kidding! I know I probably sound like an ass**** gushing all this stuff about “Hatchet” when it’s not my normal demeanor.  It’s just that I have never been so happy with a movie that I’m in before. No bullsh**.  You will love this movie as much as I did.  And yes, it will get a theatrical release.  I guarantee that.  Distribution companies would have to be morons to not see the value in this movie.

  
  

   

  
  

  If you fans have ever believed anything I have said before, please believe that “Hatchet” will amaze you.  In all aspects.  All I can say is that it’s f******* great. You’ll see. I stake my reputation on it. You have NEVER heard me say that before. I really can’t wait for you guys to see it.
