Hatchet 3 is the Hatchet's horror film of 2013. It chronicles Victor Crowley's ongoing adventures in Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp, as in addition to his brutal murderous rampage. Kane Hodder portrays Victor Crowley while Brian Quinn plays Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanbilt plays Misty.
The movie's special effects are its biggest strengths. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows some truly frightening moments to be recorded throughout the film.
The cast delivers a strong performance, with Kane Hodder being the most terrifying villain. The dialogue is a bit snarky and witty to be reminiscent of a classic 1980s slasher film at moments. There are some funny moments that stand out in all the heart-wrenching scenes.
Unfortunately, due to the budget (blog post) being small (1 million dollars) most locations were duplicates of previous films. Hatchet 2's boat house was only used once and the rest of the footage feels like it's been duplicated from previous films. It can feel almost familiar to those who've watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2.
Overall, Hatchet 3 was enjoyable although it was like the previous entries in the series. It provided lots of thrilling thrills and entertaining performances by the cast members.
