Is Hatchet 3 crap? (Decker Shado video)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3 is the Hatchet's horror film of 2013. It is a follow-up to Victor Crowley's murderous rampage across Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder plays Victor Crowley and Brian Quinn is Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanderbilt plays Misty.
The main strengths of the film lie in the practical effects. Hatchet 3 is a horror movie that uses CG effects in a lesser degree than others. Hatchet 3 has a lot of practical makeup effects and sets, which results in some truly terrifying scenes in the movie.
The cast is solid and the lead actor Kane Hodder proving to be an formidable villain. The dialogue is a bit snarky and witty to feel like a true '80s slasher movie at times. There are also some truly funny moments that offer a comic contrast to the heart-wrenching action.
Due to the budget being $1 million, most places were reused from (blog) earlier movies. The boat house used twice in the film was a prime example. Much of this feels like it was recycled from other films within the series. It can feel almost familiar to those who've watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2.
Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable series. I enjoyed the violent thrills it offered as well as the engaging performances of the cast members.
