We hated Hatchet 3 (2013) (Decker Shado review)

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 is 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 as Misty.



The movie's special effects are the film's biggest strengths. Unlike many modern horror movies that heavily rely on CG effects, Hatchet 3 features mostly realistic makeup effects and sets, resulting in some truly terrifying moments throughout the film.

Kane Hodder is a standout among the cast and is a formidable villain. The dialogue is reminiscent of an 1980s slasher movie. It is witty and hilarious. There are some funny moments that stand out against all the heart-wrenching scenes.

The budget for the film was limited to one million dollars. This means that a lot of locations in the movie are re-used (blog post) from earlier films. One boat house is featured twice and most of the scenes feel like they're recycled from previous films. It can feel almost familiar to viewers who have watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable show. I enjoyed the violent thrills it offered and the entertaining performances by its cast members.
