Hatchet 3 (2013) movie break-down (by Decker Shado)

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 is the horror film of 2013 in the Hatchet series. It chronicles Victor Crowley's continuing adventures as well as his escapade across Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder stars as Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn plays Deputy Winslow and Rileah Vanderbilt plays Misty.



Its practical special effects are the film's greatest strengths. Hatchet 3 is a horror movie that uses CG effects less than many other films. Hatchet 3 has a number of makeup effects that are practical and sets that result in some really horrific scenes throughout the film.

The cast gives a strong performance, with Kane Hodder standing out as (click now to view info) an incredibly intimidating villain. The dialogue is so funny and tongue-in cheek that it can feel like a classic '80s horror movie. Additionally, there are some really funny moments throughout that offer humor against the horror-inducing action.

The problem is that the budget is extremely small (reportedly $1 million), most locations in the film are reused locations from previous films in series. For example the exact boathouse location was featured twice in the film. A lot of the locations feel like they've been reused from other films in this franchise. For those who have watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2, this could make the film appear familiar.

Overall, I enjoyed Hatchet 3 even though it was very similar to previous installments in the series. It also offered lots of bloody thrills as well as some entertaining performances by its cast members.
