Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 (2013) is the third horror film of the Hatchet Series. It is a story about Victor Crowley, his murderous rampage through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder plays Victor Crowley and Brian Quinn is Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanderbilt plays Misty.



The film's greatest strength lies in its use of practical special effects. Unlike many modern horror movies which rely heavily on CG effects, Hatchet 3 features mostly realistic makeup effects and sets, resulting in some truly horrific scenes throughout the movie.

The cast delivers a strong performance with Kane Hodder being the most terrifying villain. It's like an '80s slasher movie, with the dialogue being somewhat tongue-in-cheek and campy. There are some really humorous moments that provide a comic contrast to the heartbreaking violence.

Unfortunately, because the budget is so limited (reportedly one million dollars) the majority of locations used in the film are reused locations from earlier films in the series. For example, the same boathouse was featured twice in the film. Many of these locations seem like they've (click now to view blogs) been reused from other films from this series. Hatchet or Hatchet II may be able to recognize it as familiar, which can lead to the film feeling almost too familiar.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable series. I enjoyed the violent thrills it offered and the entertaining performances by the cast members.
