Should we stream Hatchet 3 (2013)?
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3 (2013) is the third horror film in 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.
Its utilization of special effects is the primary strength of this movie. Hatchet 3 uses a lot less CG effects than other horror films. This allows some truly frightening moments to be captured throughout the film.
Kane Hodder stands out as an intimidating character. The cast provides a solid performance. The dialogue is a bit snarky and witty to feel like a true 1980s slasher film at times. Additionally, there are certain moments of genuine comedy throughout that provide comedic contrast to the gut-wrenching action on screen.
Due to the small budget (1 million dollars), many locations were duplicates from earlier films. Hatchet 2's boat house was used only once, and the rest of the footage feels like it was duplicated from earlier films. Hatchet or Hatchet II may be able to recognize (click clip) it as familiar, which could result in the movie feeling too familiar.
Overall, I was impressed by Hatchet 3 even though it felt very similar to prior installments in the series. It also offered plenty of gory thrills and some entertaining performances by the actors.
