The premise

When a group of tourists on a New Orleans haunted swamp tour find themselves stranded in the wilderness, their evening of fun and spooks turns into a horrific nightmare.

Horror Vault's take

Deep in the murky bayous outside New Orleans, a group of unsuspecting tourists sign up for a lighthearted haunted swamp tour — only to find that the legends whispered about these waters are far more real and far more deadly than any campfire story. Stranded in the darkness with no way out, the group must contend with a monstrous killer whose rage knows no limits. Hatchet wears its love of classic slasher cinema proudly on its blood-soaked sleeve, delivering outrageous practical gore with a knowing wink. It's a rowdy, unapologetic throwback designed to make you laugh one second and cringe the next.
