Hatchet 3 (2013): great?

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 is the Hatchet's horror film from 2013. It follows the ongoing adventures of Victor Crowley's adventures in Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp, as well as his brutal murderous rampage. Kane Hodder portrays Victor Crowley while Brian Quinn plays Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanbilt plays Misty.



The film's main strength lies in its use of practical special effects. Hatchet 3 uses a majority of practical makeup effects and sets. This is a departure from the majority of horror films nowadays that heavily rely on CG effects. The film also has several truly terrifying moments.

Kane Hodder (blog) is a standout among the cast, and he's an intimidating villain. It's like an '80s slasher movie, with the dialogue being a bit too tongue-in-cheek and campy. There are also certain moments of genuine comedy throughout, which provide a comical contrast to the heart-wrenching action.

However because of the small budget (reportedly just $1 million) most of the locations are repeats from previous films in the series--the same boat house was used two times within the movie and much of it feels like it's been recycled from other films in this franchise. Hatchet or Hatchet II may be able to recognize it as familiar, and this can lead to the film feeling almost too familiar.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was a excellent series overall. There was plenty of gory thrills, and there were several great performances by the actors.
