Should we watch Hatchet 3 (2013)? (Decker Shado film review)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3 (2013) is the third film of horror of the Hatchet Series. It chronicles the ongoing adventures of Victor Crowley and his murderous rampage through Honey Island Swamp in Louisiana. Kane Hodder portrays Victor Crowley while Brian Quinn plays Deputy Winslow. Rileah Vanbilt plays Misty.
The main strength of the movie lies in the practical effects. Hatchet 3 uses a majority of makeup effects that are practical as well as sets. This is different from many horror movies today that rely heavily upon CG effects. It also features some really horrifying moments.
The cast gives a strong performance, with Kane Hodder standing out as the most intimidating villain. The dialogue is sufficiently campy and tongue-in-cheek for it to feel like a true '80s slasher movie at moments. There are also some truly funny moments that offer a comic contrast to the (click blog posts) heartbreaking violence.
Unfortunately, due to the small budget (1 million dollars), many locations were duplicates of previous films. Hatchet 2's boat house was only used once and the remainder of the footage seems like it was duplicated from previous films. This can make it feel almost too familiar at times for those who have already watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2
Overall, Hatchet 3 was enjoyable although it was very similar in tone to previous entries in the series. It provided lots of thrilling thrills and entertaining performances by the cast members.
