I really enjoyed "Hatchet". I have seen it twice now, and it still holds up. Yes, I don't like Joel David Moore, I don't understand how someone so terrible made it into the acting world, but I definitely enjoy the film despite him. Mercedes McNabb, Richard Riehle and Patrika Darbo all do good jobs of acting badly.
I love the inclusion of Tony Todd and Robert Englund, and Kane Hodder in his dual roles, is great stuff. Yes, the movie isn't overly well written, yes the movie is very gory, but it's done well enough and the special effects aren't cheesy or terrible. I re-watched this because I want to watch the sequel, and only hope the second one is as good as the first!
