Movie breakdown - Hatchet 3 (by Decker Shado)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3: Hatchet 3 Horror Film is the 2013 installment of 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. Hatchet 3 is a modern horror film that heavily relies on CG effects. Hatchet 3 focuses mainly on practical makeup effects and sets. This results in terrifying scenes.
The cast is strong and the lead actor Kane Hodder proving to be an formidable villain. The dialogue is hilarious and smart enough to make it seem like a slasher movie from the 80s. There are also some truly funny moments (blog) that offer a comic contrast to the heart-wrenching action.
Unfortunately, the film's budget was limited to $1 million. This means that a lot of 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 recycled from other films. It can feel almost too familiar at times for those who have watched Hatchet or Hatchet 2
Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable show. I liked the gory thrills it offered as well as the engaging performances by its cast members.
