Watching Hatchet 3 (2013)

Wiki Article

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



The film's special effects are the film's biggest strength. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows for some truly terrifying moments to be captured in the movie.

The cast gives a solid 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 some funny moments that stand out in all the heart-wrenching scenes.

However because of the small budget (reportedly only $1 million) many locations used are re-used from earlier films in the series. The identical boat house was featured twice in the film and a lot of the film appears to be a re-use from previous films in the series. Hatchet or Hatchet II may (click now to view clips) be able to recognize it as familiar, and this can lead to the film feeling almost too familiar.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was a good series overall. There was many gory moments, and there were some great performances from the cast.
