Hatchet 3: Hatchet 3 Horror Film is the third installment of the Hatchet film series. It follows the continuing adventures of Victor Crowley and his murderous rampage through Honey Island Swamp in Louisiana. The film features Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn as Deputy Winslow and Rileah Vanderbilt as Misty.
The strengths of the film lie in the practical effects. Unlike many modern horror movies which heavily rely on CG effects, Hatchet 3 features mostly realistic makeup effects and sets, resulting in some truly horrific moments throughout the film.
Kane Hodder stands out as an formidable character. The cast gives an impressive performance. The dialogue is reminiscent of an 1980s slasher film. It's funny and hilarious. There are also moments of humor throughout the movie that add humor to all the (click blog post) bloody action.
Unfortunately, the film's budget was limited to $1 million. This means that many locations in the movie are repeated from previous films. A boat house is featured twice, and the majority of the scenes feel like they're like a rerun of previous films. It can seem like it's all too familiar at times for those who have already seen Hatchet or Hatchet 2
Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable show. I liked the gory thrills it offered and the entertaining performances by the cast members.
