What the hell, Jay!?! Another Drunken Review? The heck is a matter with you? You on vacation or something? As a matter of fact, I am. And it's almost over. Now piss off and let me review (ish) Victor Crowley before I pass out, would yah! Not a question. A statement.

I've said this on the show, and I will say it again here: at some point in a filmmaker's career he or she will want to make a movie about making movies. Why? Because making movies is fun and people are interested in it. But is it an interesting enough topic for a feature film? Well, when left in the hands of a horror-movie director like Adam Green, and when said horror-movie director decides to make a fake documentary featuring himself and his crew going in search of monsters, it just might be. So, you know, stick with me!

Jason: Hatchet III might very well be the greatest movie ever made. Sure, there's better movies. More award-worthy movies. Classics that stand the test of time. But Hatchet III knows what it is, knows what its fans want to see, and delivers on every count. Few movies can say that, especially those pretentious Academy Award movies. I spit on them. Hatchet III gives us the goods. It shows us all the kills, all the gore. There's humour here too, although not as much as the first two movies. But who cares? I've bought it already. I will watch it again and again. Hatchet III is a Good and then some. Shawn: Sometimes a movie can tick all a dude's boxes on a day that fits whatever mood he's in. Today, that movie is Hatchet III. Sometimes I say (without going all gore porn like Saw ) "show us the damn head stomp, show us the ripping in half"....it's soooo frustrating when a movie doesn't. That said, there is a line between gore porn and nec...

With great power comes great responsibility, which is why Jason and Shawn are back in the podcasting business with this latest episode for your ear holes. This time around the Basement Boys talk movies. SURPRISE! A whole bunch of movies before diving into the main event , a review of the third installment in Adam Green 's Hatchet series. Appropriately enough, it's called Hatchet III . What's it about? Killing and shit. But seriously, here's the official synopsis: a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces from Hatchet II, and Marybeth (Danielle Harris) learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder) haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades. Does this latest entry in the series live up to the first two, even without Green in the director's chair? (he's back as screenwriter) Stick with us as the August Special lands tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. pacific. Now for...

Man oh man, this preview for Hatchet III was so worth taking a break from the tequila for. There's Red Band trailers , and there's this trailer for Hatchet III. It has balls . . . literally! Hatchet creator Adam Green has handed the directing duties over to BJ McDonnell for this one, but the trademark Hatchet gore and humour is alive and well. As are series vets Danielle Harris (pictured above) and Kane Hodder . A search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces and Marybeth learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades.  Hatchet III hits theatres June 14.

I don't think any self-respecting horror fan can call themselves a self-respecting horror fan without watching Adam Green 's old-school slasher flick Hatchet and its sequel, the appropriately titled Hatchet II. Although far from perfect, Hatchet and Hatchet II bring fun back to the slasher subgenre with over-the-top gore and character-driven humour. And they've got a great antihero in Victor Crowley . I mean really great. Suffice to say we in The Basement are pretty damn excited that Hatchet III -- which feels like it's been filming for fucking ever -- hits theatres June 14. That's not far off, and that's fine by us. But wait, there's more. We've scored the teaser trailer for director BJ McDoonnell's film. So why not watch it now: This time around a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces and Marybeth ( Danielle Harris ) learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley h...

And we in The Basement say hells yeah!! Hatchet 2 didn't perform all that well at the box office when it was released last October, but it isn't so much the film's fault as the MPAA. The rating board failed to give it an R and unrated cuts were pulled from theatres. In other words, it didn't stand a chance. But the crew over at Arrow in the Head report Hatchet 2 has done well for itself on DVD and VOD and, if we might editorialize, deservedly so. Shawn and I gave the film a solid Good on the show several weeks back. What does that mean? Hatchet 3 is on its way bitches! ArieScope Pictures is co-producing with Dark Sky and writer/director Adam Green will be back. Here's what Green had to say, according to AITH: "We already had a possible story-line for Hatchet 3 worked out before we began shooting Hatchet II, so my cast, crew and I are beyond excited to see that the story and legacy of Victor Crowley will indeed continue. For a little indie movie t...

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest Jason: Wow this is a lot of movie! This is a fitting finale to a fine trilogy that ups the ante in terms of suspense and even action. There's some great edge-of-your-seat moments and nice character touches. Best of all events from the last two movies really pay off here. Everyone gets what's coming to them and there's even a surprise or two. Fans of the series will love it. Those who are new to the material will be completely lost. I'm giving it a Good, and will be buying the trilogy now that it's complete. Shawn: This being the third installment it was by far the best one. I still found all the characters shallow, weak, and didn’t have ANY attachment to them whatsoever. Except for the supervillian. They could have played that up a lot more. It ties every other boring entry up nicely without much confusion. It is a well made series, but still sucked in my opinion. I am, however, willing to give this one a high ...

Revisiting Adam Green's Hatchet years after its release I had forgotten how much fun the film is. More so than any remake or retread Hollywood has produced lately, this film captures the look and feel of 80's slasher movies in every gory detail. It's campy, corny and bad, but in the best possible way. Hatchet knows it's a loving tribute to 80s horror, and plays up to that fact. Writer-director Green has also created a new horror icon in Victor Crowley, whose back story and penchant for ripping people apart guarantee he'll be murdering horny, partying teens for years to come. A Good review from The Basement on this one.

Everyone who saw Adam Green's awesome 80's slasher movie throwback Hatchet raise your hand. That's everyone? Good. That film was a loving tribute to Friday the 13th and every generic gore fest that came in the wake of the original Halloween. It was low on plot and big on gore. Lotsa gore. Great gore. It was gorerific. It also introduced us to Victor Crowley, who has all the makings of a great horror icon. Now Green is back with the inevitable sequel. I'm sure more heads will roll. Literally. Hatchet 2  follows Marybeth (Danielle Harris) as she escapes from the clutches of Crowley (Kane Hodder), learns the truth about his curse, and heads back into the haunted New Orleans swamp to seek revenge for her family and kill Crowley once and for all. Take a gander at the teaser below, and prepare for the film's limited release Oct. 1 . . . just in time for the premier of our radio show!
