Film review - Hatchet 3 (2013)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3: Hatchet 3 Horror Film is the 2013 installment in the Hatchet film series. It chronicles the ongoing adventures of Victor Crowley and his murderous rampage through Honey Island Swamp in Louisiana. The film stars Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn as Deputy Winslow, as well as Rileah Vanderbilt in the role of Misty.
Its use of special effects is the primary feature of the film. In contrast to many contemporary horror films that rely heavily on CG effects, Hatchet 3 features mostly practical makeup effect and sets--resulting in some truly terrifying scenes throughout the movie.
Kane Hodder stands out as an intimidating villain. The cast provides a solid performance. The dialogue feels like a 1980s slasher movie. It is witty and funny enough. There are instances of humor in the film which add humour to bloody action.
Unfortunately, the film's budget was limited to $1 million. This means that many locations featured in the film are re-used from earlier 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 especially for people who've already seen Hatchet or Hatchet 2
Overall, (blog post) Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable show. I enjoyed the violent thrills it provided and the entertaining performances of the actors.
