Hatchet II is a 2010 American slasher film written and directed by Adam Green.

Picking up right where the first film ended, Hatchet II follows Marybeth as she escapes the clutches of the deformed, swamp-dwelling killer Victor Crowley.

After learning her last name, he tells her that her father Sampson was one of the boys responsible for causing the fire that led to Victor's death as a child.

After she leaves, Zombie calls Justin (the brother of Shawn from the first film), and tells him to summon a group of hunters (specifically including a man named Trent Graves) to go with them.

Now realizing his plan has failed, Zombie turns to see Victor breaking through the wall of the cabin.

Emma Bell appears in an uncredited cameo role as Parker O'Neal, reprising her role from Adam Green's previous film Frozen (released seven months before Hatchet II) in a scene serving as an epilogue to the events of the 2010 film.
