Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 was the film that was a horror in 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 in the role of Misty.



Its practical special effects are the film's greatest strength. Hatchet 3 is a modern horror film that heavily relies on CG effects. Hatchet 3 focuses mainly on realistic makeup effects and sets. The result is terrifying scenes.

Kane Hodder stands out as an intimidating villain. The cast provides an impressive performance. The dialogue is a bit snarky and witty to feel like a true 1980s slasher film at moments. Additionally, there are some genuinely funny moments throughout, which provide a comical contrast against all of the gut-wrenching action on screen.

Unfortunately, because the budget is extremely small (reportedly $1 million) the majority of locations used that are featured in the movie are reused locations from previous films in series. For example, the exact boathouse location was used twice within the movie. A lot of the locations feel like they were reused from previous films from this series. Hatchet or Hatchet II may be able to recognize it as familiar, which could result in (click now to see webpages) the film feeling almost too familiar.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable series. I liked the gory thrills it provided as well as the engaging performances by its cast members.
