Viewing Hatchet 3 (by Decker Shado)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3: Hatchet 3 Horror Film is the 2013 installment in the Hatchet film series. It chronicles Victor Crowley's ongoing adventures through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp, as in addition to his brutal murderous rampage. 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 strengths. Hatchet 3 is a modern horror film that relies heavily on CG effects. Hatchet 3 focuses mainly on practical makeup effects as well as sets. The result is terrifying scenes.
Kane Hodder stands out as an intimidating character. The cast gives an impressive performance. The dialogue is a bit snarky and tongue-in-cheek for it to feel like a true '80s slasher movie at (blog) times. There are also certain moments of genuine comedy throughout that provide comedic contrast to the heart-wrenching action.
The problem is that the budget is so small (reportedly $1 million) the majority of locations used that are featured in the movie are re-used locations from previous films in series. For example the exact boathouse location was used twice in the film. A lot of the locations feel like they were reused from previous films from this series. Hatchet or Hatchet II may find it familiar, and this can lead to the movie feeling too familiar.
Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable series. I enjoyed the violent thrills it offered and the entertaining performances of its cast members.
