The picture wasn't quite as good as I expected as the black levels weren't great so much of it was great rather than inky black but I'll have to compare it against my DVD to see what the SD picture is like by comparison. The audio track -- LPCM 2.0 Mono -- is very good.

As for the remake goes, I'm not dead against it and think it could be a story that would work again. Sam Riley is a terrific actor and with that supporting cast, there should be some fine thespian talent on show!

Oh, right -- I get you now. It's just when you said:

I thought you meant you cried with laughter during Pearl Harborand that's why I asked whether it was crying with laughter or relief that Michael Bay's abomination had finished!

Thanks for the heads up -- I just went to Lovefilm and have reserved the BD.

Just watched Hatchet and Hatchet 2 back to back.

I was really disappointed overall to be honest. I know it's done as a love letter/homage to 70's/80's slasher films but because it's so over the top it just comes across as a tongue-in-cheek parody. The deformed, hulking, maniacal Victor Crowley character just comes across as a poor Jason Vorhees rip-off (even if Kane Hodder wasn't playing him) and for a film that concentrates so much on 'the kills' I found it odd that at least 2 of the deaths in the first one happen off-screen.

I thought the sequel was a bit better and because of the increased budget didn't have the cheap 'this-is-clearly-a-small-set' look of the first one (I have no problem with low budget films but the way the first one was shot made it look so obviously cheap and sound-stagey) but it wasn't great all the same.

Ah well.
