You better not see Hatchet 3 (2013) (Decker Shado film review)

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 is the horror film of 2013 in the Hatchet series. It follows the story of Victor Crowley's ongoing adventures as well as his escapade across Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder stars as Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn plays Deputy Winslow and Rileah Vanderbilt is Misty.



The strengths of the film lie in the practical effects. Hatchet 3 is a horror movie that uses CG effects less than many others. Hatchet 3 has a number of makeup effects that are practical and sets that result in some truly terrifying scenes in the movie.

The cast gives a strong performance and Kane Hodder standing out as the most terrifying villain. The dialogue is so funny and tongue-in cheek that it can feel like a classic '80s horror movie. There are (click now to see weblog) instances of humor in the film which add humour to bloody action.

The problem is that the budget is extremely small (reportedly $1 million), most locations in the film are reused locations from previous films in series. For example the exact boathouse location was featured twice in the film. Many of these locations feel like they've been reused from other films in this franchise. If you've watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2, this could make the film feel familiar.

Overall, I enjoyed Hatchet 3 even though it felt very similar to prior installments in the series. It also offered lots of bloody thrills as well as some entertaining performances by its cast members.
