In 2006, freshman director Adam Green brought his inaugural film ‘Hatchet’](Hatchet (2006) - Movie | Moviefone) to Fantastic Fest. The film played to rave reviews and cheering audiences and became the darling of that year’s fest. I saw the film months later and was shocked by how little I enjoyed it despite my being a confirmed horrorphile. But since then Green has directed ‘Spiral’](Spiral - Movie | Moviefone) and ‘Frozen’](Frozen (2010) - Movie | Moviefone), which are both great films, and returns to this year’s fest with the long-anticipated sequel ‘Hatchet 2’](Hatchet II (2010) - Movie | Moviefone).
I was actually having a conversation with Adam about film in general when his publicist called my editor, who was standing there with us, to set up an interview between myself, Adam, Danielle Harris, and-though at the time a fact unknown to me-Kane Hodder as well. In the interest of total disclosure, I frankly admitted to Adam that I didn’t like ‘Hatchet’ so that it didn’t seem I was hiding it from him and thereby being disingenuous for an interview opportunity. He appreciated the honesty and made no bones about it. But then a thought entered his head to use the info to play a prank on his publicist by calling her directly thereafter and warning her against setting up an interview with me.
What I didn’t know, is that Adam decided against that plan and instead, knowing that Kane Hodder’s attendance in the interview was unknown to me, told him that I didn’t like ‘Hatchet’ and that he should constantly give me a hard time about during the interview. What follows is the account of one of the scariest encounters I’ve ever had with one of the largest men on the planet. *
***Note: This interview was conducted prior to the first ‘Hatchet 2’ screening at Fantastic Fest. Also, the massive interview that follows is intended for hardcore horror fans only. Seriously, we get *really *geeky. ****
