With the success of Rob Zombie’s Halloween, the probable success of Saw IV, and now that Hatchet has been invited to stay another week in theaters, will the N.Y. Times declare horror has risen from the grave? Probably not! Adam Green, the director of Hatchet has announced that theaters were happy with the films turnout, and decided to keep the film for another week. So if you didn’t have a chance to catch it the first time here is your second chance.

“After the amazing response that Hatchet got in theaters last weekend and how glowing the exit polls were- EVERY THEATER that took it last week has asked to hold it over for week 2. Normally with indie films- you just can’t do well in some markets due to lack of advertising and you’re forced out after 1 weekend. But the major theaters were so happy and delighted by the horror fans turn-out and reactions- that the movie is STAYING PUT. If we can rally another good week/weekend at the box office…even more cities could get the film. If you missed it- here’s another chance to see it with an audience the way it was meant to be seen. And if you had a blast the first time- the second time is even better! Don’t give up- keep the support going strong and let’s get this movie moving on to the cities that haven’t gotten their chance yet. Another good weekend means more chances for everyone to see Victor Crowley on the big screen!” – Adam Green
