Hatchet 3 is Hatchet's horror film from 2013. It chronicles Victor Crowley's ongoing adventures through Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp, as well as his violent murderous rampage. Kane Hodder plays Victor Crowley, Brian Quinn portrays Deputy Winslow, Rileah vanderbilt portrays Misty.



The use of special effects is the main strength of this movie. Hatchet 3 is a modern horror film that heavily relies on CG effects. Hatchet 3 focuses mainly on realistic makeup effects as well as sets. The result is 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 feel like (click now to see update) an 80s slasher film. There are some really humorous moments that provide an entertaining contrast to the heartbreaking violence.

Due to the budget being $1 million, most locations were reused from previous films. The boat house used twice in the movie was a prime instance. A lot of the film appears to be a re-use from other films within the series. The Hatchet and Hatchet 2 films may feel like the film is familiar.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was an enjoyable series. I liked the gory thrills it provided as well as the engaging performances by its cast members.
