Once it was yanked in Canada, we had a feeling that Adam Green’s Hatchet II would eventually get pulled here in the States. Well, we hope you got to see it this weekend.

Adam Green posted the following message from his Twitter account:

“To those asking: Yes, Hatchet II UNRATED has been pulled from US theaters. Press release coming tomorrow when we have the full details.”

Take heart, horror fans. The movie did well for the release that it had, and hats off to AMC Theatres for even taking the chance on it. We’ll have full details of what went down and what’s next tomorrow. Stay tuned.

This second installment in the now franchise for Dark Sky Films focuses on Marybeth as she escapes from the clutches of Victor Crowley, learns the truth about his curse, and heads back into the haunted New Orleans swamp to seek revenge for her family and kill Victor Crowley once and for all.

Hatchet II‘s cast includes Danielle Harris, Tony Todd, R.A. Mihailoff, AJ Bowen, Tom Holland, Kathryn Fiore, Parry Shen, Rileah Vanderbilt, Ed Ackerman, Rick McCallum, Colton Dunn, David Foy, Nick Principe, Alexis Peters, and Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley.
