I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Excellent adaptation.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A reality TV show that sets people up to be scared opts to film in an abandoned chemical plant that had a fire (good luck with that permit). It seems Jacob (Norbert Velez) whose father worked there and he played there as a kid, thinks it is haunted. He appears to be obsessed with the idea so much his friends have grown tired of him to the point of playing a professional prank with the aid of a film crew and make-up artist.Of course the first "twist" comes after they pan in on a new fire ax which then goes missing after Jacob thinks his friend was murdered. I kept hoping for a real twist, i.e. a joke being played on the girls or the camera crew, etc. because the film grew into a real boring slasher.This is a very generic slasher film, one you will quickly forget. The acting was sad with Daniela Larez unable to deliver a line. Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity or Hazmat showers.

Jacob is a nice but rather disturbed guy who is obsessed with chemical factories, especially the one where his father was killed, he thinks it is haunted. His friend Adam puts him on a pranking TV show without realizing the harm it will do. The crew sets up in the chemical factory and scares him, but the joke backfires and soon the crew, Adam and two girls are trapped within the factory with Jacob coming for them dressed in a gas mask and wielding an ax.HazMat wasn't very scary and used excessive gore that was irrelevant to the story. The acting was pretty bad as was the soundtrack, but the plot was very original. Cross the 1997 TV movie Goosebumps Welcome to Dead House with the 1981 slasher My Bloody Valentine and you'd get something like this. It's okay to watch maybe once, but I think it could have been better. One thing I did really like was that although a chemical factory was involved, there was no dopey happy-hippie environmental message preached to us in the movie. I was rooting for Jacob throughout the film though, I mean, it's hard to feel sorry for a TV crew and group of so-called friends who decide to prank a boy in the same chemical factory where his father was killed, that's very cruel of them to do and I was hoping they'd all end up dead.

Hazmat has been one of the best slasher movie, I have seen in a long time. Trust me I collect all horror movies and I rate this one high. I'm not going to give all the details cause that would just ruin the movie for you. All I will say is if you like dark creepy places, scare tactics pulling pranks on your friends and a killer with a ax and good kill scenes then this movie is for you.Also for the people who said they didn't like it, you should of quit watching it, that's what I do when I don't like one. So boo hoo and let me get you a Kleenex for your whining and crying.Definitely check this movie out and make your own opinion.

I won tickets to a private Screening of this film. I'm not a huge slasher fan since I find them mostly comedic but since it was free, I went. Wow, was I surprised! Yes, I guess technically this is a slasher. It has a very scary guy with an axe killing people so it qualifies. But it has a very cool back story about the abandoned warehouse where it takes place that makes it also like a ghost story. Then there are real characters. Not just a bunch of horny teenagers who (one by one) drink or do drugs, have sex, and get killed. These are real people who you like and care when they die. You even care about the bad guy. He's not just some faceless killer. You get to know him before he starts hacking up people. Finally, the film also has some very funny dialogue that thankfully was intentional. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a smart slasher for a change.
