Watching Hatchet 3 (2013) (Decker Shado)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3 is Hatchet's horror film of 2013. It chronicles Victor Crowley's continuing adventures and his rampage through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. Kane Hodder plays Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn portrays Deputy Winslow, Rileah vanderbilt portrays Misty.
Its practical special effects are the film's greatest strengths. Unlike many modern horror movies that heavily rely on CG effects, Hatchet 3 features mostly practical makeup effect and sets--resulting in some truly terrifying moments throughout the film.
The cast gives a solid performance with Kane Hodder being the most terrifying (blog post) villain. The dialogue is hilarious and smart enough to make it feel like a slasher movie from the 80s. Additionally, there are several hilarious moments that provide a sense of humor against the horror-inducing action.
Because the budget was $1 million, most places were reused from previous films. The house on the lake used twice in the movie was a prime example. Much of this appears to be a re-use from other movies within the series. It's almost like it's familiar to those who've seen Hatchet or Hatchet 2.
Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable show. I liked the gory thrills it offered as well as the engaging performances of the cast members.
