Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 (2013) is the third film of horror of the Hatchet Series. It follows Victor Crowley's murderous rampage across Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder portrays Victor Crowley while Brian Quinn plays Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanbilt plays Misty.



The film's special effects are the film's greatest strength. Hatchet 3 is a modern horror film that relies heavily on CG effects. Hatchet 3 focuses mainly on practical makeup effects and sets. This results in terrifying scenes.

The cast is solid, with Kane Hodder proving to be an formidable villain. The dialogue is funny (blog) and clever enough to make it feel like an 80s slasher film. There are some really humorous moments that provide an entertaining contrast to the heartbreaking violence.

Due to the budget being $1 million, most locations were reused from previous films. The boat house used twice in the film was a prime instance. A lot of the film appears to be a re-use from other movies in the franchise. It can feel almost familiar to those who've seen Hatchet or Hatchet 2.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable series. I liked the gory thrills it provided as well as the engaging performances of its actors.
