Breakdown: Hatchet 3 (2013)

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 is the Hatchet's horror film of 2013. It follows Victor Crowley's murderous rampage through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. The film features Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn as Deputy Winslow and Rileah Vanderbilt in the role of Misty.



The film's greatest strength is the use of real-world special effects. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows some truly terrifying moments to be captured throughout the film.

The cast is solid and the lead actor Kane Hodder proving to be an formidable villain. The dialogue is sufficiently campy and tongue-in-cheek for it to be reminiscent of a (click now to view posts) classic 1980s slasher film at times. There are some really humorous moments that provide a comic contrast to the heart-wrenching violence.

Unfortunately because of the small budget (reportedly only $1 million) most locations used are repeats from earlier films in the series--the identical boat house was featured two times within the movie and a lot of the film feels like it's been recycled from previous films in the series. This can make it seem like it's all too familiar at times for those who have watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2

Overall, Hatchet 3 was a excellent series. There were many gory moments, and there were some great performances from the actors.
