PURCHASE THE DVD: Hatchetman (2003)

A crime/horror flick from Showtime, not one of their best efforts, this 2003 gory horror whodunit excels mostly in the "show lotsa boobs" department, but even in that respect, they came up a little short.

A group of strippers is the target of a serial killer who kills them with a hatchet, then chops off (and takes) their hands (because, as it turns out, "Mommy used to do dirty things with her hands").

In any case, as the lead detective tries to protect his stripper girl friend and her pals, (and as she tries to get admitted to law school, although I don't know why we really care about that), the cast slowly but surely shrinks as the strippers get offed one by one.

Yup, it's lame and predictable (although the real killer was a slight surprise at the end), the acting vacillates between not-all-that-bad to horrible, and the story is hackneyed and uneven, but let's face it, this is basically a boobs movie with a story thrown in as a binder, and in that department, it also fell a little short. All in all, even for T & A movies, I've seen a lot better.
