Film breakdown: Hatchet 3 (2013)

Wiki Article

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



Its practical special effects are the film's greatest strength. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows for some truly frightening moments to be recorded in the movie.

The cast gives a solid performance with Kane Hodder being the most intimidating villain. The dialogue is a bit snarky and witty to feel like a true '80s slasher movie at times. Additionally, there are some really funny moments (blog) throughout that offer humor against the horror-inducing action.

Unfortunately, due to the small budget (1 million dollars), many of the locations are duplicates from earlier films. The boat house in Hatchet 2 was used only once, and the remainder of the footage seems like it was reused from earlier films. It's almost like it's familiar to viewers who have seen Hatchet or Hatchet 2.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was enjoyable, even though it felt very similar in tone to previous installments within the series. It was filled with gory thrills as well as some entertaining performances from its actors.
