What happened to the 'Marybeth' from HATCHET No1?

I was interested to see her because I recognised her from the Halloween movies. Of course in parts 4 and 5 of Halloween she was only a child and in the Rob Zombie reboots she mostly took a backseat to the lead. So I was interested to see what she'd do with a lead role.
But I found her to be terrible here. She didn't seem able to carry the central role at all and she always seemed to use the same select few expressions. Naturally it didn't help that this sequel wasn't written that well either though.
It's difficult to say whether Tamara would have been much better. The role of Marybeth was smaller there. She was just one of many characters and we'd mainly been focussed on the bloke with her right at the end for most of the movie. She wasn't really a 'final girl' until the last few seconds of the film, so she never had to carry the film alone. Still, I have to say I found Danielle Harris
distractingly
bad in the lead role in this sequel. -

Why didnt they use the actress from the first film?
Quite obviously because they wanted to do some more Hollywood self-referencing by putting someone from the Halloween franchise into the cast. This has been lame since Scream, but who cares
There are no bad movies. If a movie doesn't make sense, it's a metaphore that you don't get. - MBs
