Hatchet 3 is Hatchet's horror film of 2013. It chronicles Victor Crowley's ongoing adventures through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp, as in addition to his violent murderous rampage. Kane Hodder portrays Victor Crowley while Brian Quinn plays Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanbilt plays Misty.
The film's greatest strength lies in its use of practical special effects. Hatchet 3 uses a majority of practical makeup effects and sets. This is a departure from many horror movies nowadays that heavily rely on CG effects. The film also has several truly terrifying moments.
Kane Hodder (click now to view the articles) is a standout in the ensemble, and he's an intimidating villain. It's like a slasher film from the 1980s, with the dialogue being a bit too tongue-in-cheek and campy. There are also certain moments of genuine comedy throughout, which provide a comical contrast to the heart-wrenching action.
However because of the small budget (reportedly only $1 million) many locations used are re-used from previous films in the series--the same boat house was used two times within the movie and much of it feels like it's been recycled from other films in this franchise. Hatchet or Hatchet II may be able to recognize it as familiar, which could result in the film feeling almost too familiar.
Overall, Hatchet 3 was a good series. There was many gory moments, and there were some great performances from the cast.
