Hatchet

Hatchet is the first film in the Hatchet series. The film opens with Victor murdering two alligator hunters, Sampson and his son Ainsley, when they enter Victor's swamp seeking gators. A few days later a tour group crashes and sinks their boat near the Crowley house. Amongst them is Marybeth, who joined the tour to learn the whereabouts of Sampson and Ainsley, her father and brother. Despite Marybeth's warnings, and Victor's cries echoing throughout the swamp, the group finds themselves outside the Crowley house. He emerges from the house and kills off most of the group. In retaliation the remaining survivors douse Victor in gasoline and set him on fire, but a sudden downpour extinguishes the flames, leaving Victor unharmed. He continues to chase the survivors and is believed to be dead after accidentally impaling himself through the neck on a gate post. However he manages to continue pursuing the two remaining survivors, and when they board a boat to escape he pulls Marybeth into the water and incapacitates the other survivor (but in the 3rd film, he kills him by throwing a hatchet at him). He then pulls her back out of the water and holds her while she screams in terror.

Ainsley Dunston

Ainsley is the son of Samson Dunston and the brother of Marybeth Dunston. After the death of his mother, he began hunting alligators to make ends meet. He leaves the fishing boat to urinate, but as soon as he returns he discovers his father has been killed. Ainsley is then mutilated by Crowley.
