Movie breakdown - Hatchet 3 (by Decker Shado)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3 (2013) is the third horror film of the Hatchet Series. It is a follow-up to Victor Crowley's murderous rampage through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder plays Victor Crowley and Brian Quinn is Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanderbilt plays Misty.
The movie's special effects are the film's biggest strengths. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows some truly frightening moments to be recorded in the movie.
The cast delivers a strong performance, with Kane Hodder being the most terrifying villain. The dialogue is sufficiently campy and witty to be reminiscent of a classic 1980s slasher film at moments. There are some funny moments that stand out in all the gut-wrenching scenes.
Unfortunately, due to the small budget (1 million dollars), many of the locations are duplicates of earlier films. The boat house in Hatchet 2 was used only once, and the remainder of the footage seems like it's been reused from earlier (click info) films. It's almost like it's familiar to those who've 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 the actors.
