So I saw Hatchet 2 and didn't think much of it so my expectations were not high for this film. I thought it was slightly less objectionable than Hatchet 2. Still has the swamp environment and lots of other clichés. Danielle Harris reprises her role from the 2nd in the series and this carries on from where the last one left off. There are some gruesome deaths where body parts are pulled apart. The story brings in a sheriff who happens to be married to a journalist who believes she knows how to kill Victor Crowley. Her head is pulled off her shoulders. She didn't get everything right and it cost her. Only Marybeth Dunstan can kill Victor Crowley by reuniting him with his father, who has been cremated and is actually a pile of ashes in an urn. Marybeth does work out how to kill Crowley but she is impaled on a tree trunk, so isn't up to much at the end of the film. If you liked the previous films you might like this, otherwise I'd say avoid.

Night of the Living Deb (2015)
This is a comedy romance film involving an awkward single girl called Deb and a handsome guy called Ryan, played by Maria Thayer and Michael Cassidy respectively. The film is very silly but has a bit of charm usually lacking in these types of film. I liked the Deb character mostly because of Maria Thayer's quirky portrayal. It's not a film I would recommend for people who just want horror - there is no sense of threat in the film, the zombies could be replaced with something else equally unthreatening. A silly film but OK for a rainy day when you want cheering up.
