Hatchet 3 (2013) movie break-down (Decker Shado)
Wiki Article
Hatchet 3: Hatchet 3 Horror Film is the 2013 installment in the Hatchet film series. It chronicles Victor Crowley's ongoing adventures in Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp, as in addition to his brutal murderous rampage. The film stars Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn as Deputy Winslow, as well as Rileah Vanderbilt in the role of Misty.
The movie's special effects are the film's greatest strength. In contrast to many contemporary horror films which heavily rely on CG effects, Hatchet 3 features mostly realistic makeup effects and sets, resulting in some truly horrific moments throughout the film.
The cast delivers a strong performance with Kane Hodder being the most intimidating villain. It's like an '80s slasher movie and the dialogue is a bit too tongue-in-cheek and campy. There are moments of humor in the movie that add humor to all bloody action.
Unfortunately, due to the small budget (1 million dollars) most locations were duplicates from previous films. Hatchet 2's boat house was used only once, and the (click now to read blog) remainder of the footage seems like it was reused from earlier films. Hatchet or Hatchet2 may feel the film is familiar.
Overall, I was impressed by Hatchet 3 even though it was very similar to previous entries in this series--it provided lots of bloody thrills as well as some entertaining performances by its cast members.
