Hatchet 3 (2013) film review
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3 is the Hatchet's horror film from 2013. It is a follow-up to Victor Crowley's 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 special effects are the film's biggest strengths. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows some truly frightening moments to be captured throughout the film.
The cast delivers a strong performance, with Kane Hodder being the most intimidating villain. The dialogue is sufficiently campy and tongue-in-cheek for it to feel like a true '80s slasher movie at times. There are also some hilarious moments that stand out against all the gut-wrenching scenes.
Unfortunately, due to the small budget (1 million dollars) most locations were duplicates of earlier films. The boat house in Hatchet 2 was only used once and the rest of the footage feels like it's been (click now to view posts) reused from earlier films. It can feel almost familiar to those who've seen Hatchet or Hatchet 2.
Overall, Hatchet 3 was enjoyable although it was like the previous installments in the series. It provided lots of gory thrills as well as entertaining performances by the actors.
