Have you enjoyed your HATCHET II releasing? Did it make your day or ruin it? I hope you liked it because our brothers up north aren’t going to be so lucky.
From Adam Green’s Twitter comes the news that Canada will not be releasing HATCHET 2 in theaters unrated. Any panel that is unrated will be taken down with a hatchet. Ok, maybe not with a hatchet but I’d expect Adam Green to prefer that than the ol’ snipping from the reel trick. I mean wouldn’t it be neat to go down the way you came up? Hatchet-style!
So why the fuss about an unrated horror flick? Well that’s just it. It’s an unrated horror flick and it seems Canadian Cinemas will get fined or worse (da boot) if they’re caught playing unrated shows. Honestly: is there another reason to support unrated horror?
Check out what Adam Green had to say about the matter on his Twitter:
“For those asking, yes Montreal and Toronto have apparently pulled Hatchet II due to confusion on the non-rating. But please don’t blame the cinemas. It’s not their fault that they could be fined for playing an unrated film. Thank them for trying! But this is why we need CHANGE! USA fans, please buy tickets to Hatchet II and support unrated original horror. Every ticket counts! All love.”
