Hatchet on DVD In Time For Christmas

The small horror film Hatchet had a decent theatrical run, but Anchor Bay decided to pull it from the big screen so they could release the DVD in time for Christmas. Director Adam Green had this to say on the official Hatchet Message Board:

“So get your Xmas stockings ready for what will be the best present a horror fan can get this Christmas.Oh- and to speak about HATCHET’s theatrical run in the U.S.- we had a great run. Ultimately however, Anchor Bay was faced with a choice. Either they continue to tour prints around the country- or they pull the film from theaters in order to have the official 90 days needed between theatrical and DVD release. Had it been a 3,000 screen release raking in millions- it may have been worth it to not have the DVD out in time for the holidays- but for a movie this small, I agree that the sooner we can make it available for everyone the better. So that means…Victor Crowley will be coming home in time for Christmas- unrated and fucking LOADED with special features. An official announcement, street date, and details of what you’ll get on the DVD is all coming in just a matter of days. So stay tuned to the various horror sites and the official HATCHET website for details. And remember, nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a hot chick getting her mouth sanded out in your stocking.

So get your Xmas stockings ready for what will be the best present a horror fan can get this Christmas.”

We will keep you posted as soon as we get word on the official release date.
