Damn you guys are nuts, Hatchet is an awesome movie. Likable cast, awesome deaths, some pretty funny dialogue, and a bad-ass killer. Sure it's kinda cheesy and far from original, but as far as these flicks go it's about as entertaining as it gets. It's pretty unfair to compare it to genre-defining classics like Black Christmas and Halloween, but looking at all of the other recent slasher flicks it's for the most part better.
I will say though my one big complaint is how stupidly the characters handled the situation. Most of these types of films are guilty of this as well, but this one seemed just so obvious. I mean, they shoulda just ran their asses off full speed away from that area without stopping, yet they just kind of hung around. Secondly, when they fought back, Crowley always seemed to go down easy, yet they for some reason never made sure he was dead. I mean he's lying on the ground after being burned alive...a perfect chance to say cut his head off and toss it in the water, or at least chop his feet off. Heck they could have even just ripped his eyes out. Maybe he really is a superhuman monster from beyond the grave but he seemed real to me.
That said it didn't make or break the film and it was still very enjoyable. Plus if that happened the ending would probably have to be pretty different.

They did, and realized they had run in a circle. A pretty common mistake among people lost in the woods.

His dad had already buried a hatchet in his head. They stabbed him in the head, set him on fire, rammed a metal pole through his throat... I would say he was definitely superhuman, or not alive.
