Just watched this! Really liked it except the ending, because...

... I was like, "WTF did they run out of film or something?"

Spoilers

The end didn't quite register well with me because it kind of feels like they have a 'final scare' that should have lasted 5 seconds and instead dragged it out for about a minute. If Crowley just jumped up from the water and scared them then it cut to black, that would have been fine, but instead there's a lot of screaming, struggling, and you think that maybe something else was going to happen but...then it just cuts to black anyway. Kind of pointless. At first I thought maybe there was something wrong with the DVD but now I'm thinking they probably just ran out of money or something and thought that would be a suitable ending.

I'm sure this is absolutely, positively the very first time anyone has brought this up ever.

Damn, this IMDb board is terrible.

The first time I watched Hatchet, I thought the same thing. It seemed to end way too abruptly. After time, I realized it was basically an homage to the original Friday the 13th--with the calm music and the boat drifting in the water. Anyway, I think the sequel picks up right where Hatchet ends, so it's no big deal.

What are you talking about? Marybeth did survive and is in the sequel.

The ending was obviously inspired by this ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVpx3Ai6ZZQ

I'm glad that was the ending, because I thought I had a faulty dvd.

All joking aside the abrupt ending was a homage to the endings of those cheap 70s/80s horror movies.
