Film breakdown - Hatchet 3 (by Decker Shado)

Wiki Article

Hatchet 3 was the film that was a horror in the Hatchet trilogy. It is a follow-up to the murderous adventures of Victor Crowley through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. 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 its greatest strengths. Hatchet 3 is a horror film that employs CG effects less than many others. Hatchet 3 has a lot of practical makeup effects and sets that result in some truly terrifying scenes throughout the film.

Kane Hodder is a standout among the cast, and he's an intimidating villain. The dialogue feels like a 1980s slasher movie. It's funny and funny enough. Additionally, there are some genuinely funny moments throughout, which provide a comical contrast against all of the heart-wrenching action.

Unfortunately, because the budget is extremely limited (reportedly one million dollars) the majority of locations used in the (click article) film are re-used locations from previous films in series. For instance, the exact boathouse location was featured twice within the movie. Many of these locations seem like they've been reused from other films in this franchise. Hatchet or Hatchet II may find it familiar, and this could result in the film feeling almost too familiar.

Overall, I was impressed by Hatchet 3 even though it felt very similar to prior entries in this series--it offered plenty of gory thrills and some entertaining performances by the actors.
