Review of Hatchet III (2013) by David S — 18 Feb 2014

I'm not expecting high art from 'The Hatchet' series. Green is attempting a throwback to the Friday the 13th series of the 80's and for the most part he succeeds. It helps that he throws in a lot of horror movie homages and old cult actors and goes to town with the gore.

However unlike the recent horror remakes such as 'Last House' and 'The Hills have Eyes' this series never takes itself seriously and even though it's very bloody the whole thing comes across as very tongue in cheek.

This series can probably go on forever as there doesn't seem to be any way to kill Victor Crowley but as long as Green keeps the in-jokes intact and has fun with it there's no reason we won't still be enjoying 'Hatchet X'!
