Seeing Hatchet 3 (2013) (Decker Shado review)

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 was the horror film of the Hatchet trilogy. It tells the story of Victor Crowley, his murderous rampage through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder plays Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn portrays Deputy Winslow, Rileah vanderbilt portrays Misty.



The film's greatest strength lies in its use of practical special effects. 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 some truly horrifying scenes.

Kane Hodder is a standout among the cast, and he's an intimidating villain. It feels like an '80s slasher movie, with the dialogue being a bit too tongue-in-cheek and campy. There are also certain moments of genuine comedy throughout, which provide a comical contrast to the heart-wrenching action.

However because of the small budget (reportedly only $1 million) many locations used are re-used from earlier films in the series. The same boat house was used two times within the movie and much of it (blog) feels like it's been recycled from other films in this franchise. Hatchet or Hatchet II may be able to recognize it as familiar, which could result in the film feeling almost too familiar.

In the end, Hatchet 3 was very enjoyable. I found it to be remarkably similar to other entries in this series. However, Hatchet 3 provided lots of gory thrills and entertaining performances from its actors.
