As usual anyone outside the U.S. can't see this trailer for Hatchet because the people hosting it have decided to restrict it for no good reason. However I've seen a trailer before for this film and it looks rather interesting.

Hatchet is a horror that goes back to old school American horror. A group of tourists are caught in a New Orleans haunted swamp and find that they are in the middle of a nightmare, a slasher type nightmare.

All the usual elements are here, but the trailer I saw had a slick look to it, while still feeling like that older horror film.

You can have a look at the trailer over at MTV Movie Blog [Flash:Embed], if you are in the U.S. or get it to work through a proxy. The link comes through HorrorMovies.ca who also have a copy of the full size poster that carries the tagline:

“It's not a remake. It's not a sequel. And it's not based on a Japanese one.”

I'm sold already! Someone head over, see the trailer, and then describe it to the rest of us – worth it?
