Is Hatchet 3 awful?

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.



Its practical special effects are the film's greatest strength. Hatchet 3 is a horror movie that uses CG effects less than many others. Hatchet 3 has a lot of practical makeup effects and sets that result in some truly terrifying scenes in the movie.

The cast delivers a strong performance, with Kane Hodder being the most terrifying villain. The dialogue is so funny and tongue-in cheek that it can feel like a classic '80s horror film. There are also several hilarious moments that provide a sense of some humor in the midst of the terrifying action.

Unfortunately, because the budget is so limited (reportedly $1 million), most locations in the film are re-used locations from earlier films in the series. For instance the exact boathouse location was used twice within the movie. Many of these locations feel like they've been reused from other films from this series. It's (blog post) almost like it's familiar to viewers who have watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was enjoyable, even though it felt very similar in tone to previous entries within the series. It was filled with thrilling thrills and some entertaining performances from its cast members.
