Movie Based on Hatchet
This movie is based on the Young Adult novel, Hatchet. It is a good movie to show to students who have read or are reading the book. It is easy to find where it correlates to chapters in the book so you could use just part of the movie for a lesson.

The movie is very true to the book and very realistic.

Cry vs. Cry
This movie is NOT the movie of the same title based on Gary Paulsen's book, "Hatchet". Despite the identical titles, this movie is based on a very real abduction and manhunt in 1963, in central Pennsylvania. Both were released on TV in 1990, but this movie had the subtitle "The Taking of Peggy Ann." It is a very accurate account of the kidnapping of teenager Peggy Ann Bradnick, and the ensuing search that cost the life of FBI agent Terry Anderson (played by David Soul) before the kidnapper, William Hollenbaugh, was killed by the police.

The "Hatchet" "Cry" is available in DVD from Amazon. The "Peggy Ann" "Cry" is only out in VHS.

This movie is NOT appropriate for 5th grade students
I rented the movie to show to my students after we read the novel. It cut out most of the good stuff from the book, had cussing in it, and was awful. Needless to say, I didn't let the kids watch it. We just got into groups, chose our favorite scenes and worked up minidramas to act out. Don't buy this movie.

Hatchet the movie? Or the book
I havent seen the actuall movie, however, I think its best to rent the movie and also read the book first, I have read the book and it is very good so I sugest to rent the movie and when I do see the movie I will post how it doffers and wich is better. Also the book is rich in detail and jugging by the book I bet the movie will be very good

This movie has no style!
Well, the book was definitely a lot better.... I did not like how there was so much swearing in the whole thing!! There are so many other elementary and middle school teachers showing this movie to kids... I do not think it is an appropriate movie for kids like me. We should not have to listen to swearing like that in school!!!
