Hatchet 3 is the 2013 horror film of the Hatchet series. It follows the story of Victor Crowley's ongoing adventures as well as his escapade 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 film's special effects are the film's biggest strengths. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows some truly terrifying moments to be recorded in the movie.
The cast is strong, with Kane Hodder proving to be an intimidating villain. The dialogue is hilarious movie Hatchet 3 (2013) and tongue-in cheek that it can be like a classic 1980s horror movie. Additionally, there are certain moments of genuine comedy throughout that provide comedic contrast against all of the gut-wrenching action on screen.
Unfortunately, due to the limited budget (reportedly only $1 million) most locations used are repeats from earlier films in the series. The same boat house was featured two times within the movie and much of it appears to be a re-use from other films in this franchise. Hatchet or Hatchet2 may feel the film is familiar.
Overall, I was impressed by Hatchet 3 even though it felt very similar to prior entries in this series--it offered lots of bloody thrills as well as some entertaining performances by its cast members.
