Hatchet 3 review

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 was the horror film of the Hatchet trilogy. It is a follow-up to Victor Crowley's murderous rampage across Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. The film stars Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn as Deputy Winslow as well as Rileah Vanderbilt as Misty.



Its practical special effects are the film's biggest strength. Hatchet 3 is a modern horror film that relies heavily on CG effects. Hatchet 3 focuses mainly on realistic makeup effects as well as sets. The result is some truly horrifying scenes.

The cast delivers a solid performance and Kane Hodder standing out as the most terrifying villain. It feels like a slasher film from the 1980s, with the dialogue being a bit too funny and snarky. There are also several hilarious moments throughout that offer some humor in the midst of the terrifying action.

Unfortunately because of the small budget (reportedly just $1 million) many of the locations are re-used from previous films in the series--the identical boat house was featured twice in the film and a lot of the film feels like it's been recycled from previous films in the series. The Hatchet and Hatchet 2 (blog) films may feel like it's a familiar film.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was very enjoyable. I found it to be remarkably like other films in this series. However, Hatchet 3 provided lots of thrilling thrills and hilarious performances from its actors.
