Review of Hatchet III (2013) by Jorge V — 18 Jun 2013

Well first off, It's a Hatchet movie, so of course I'm going to give it 5 stars.

So Hacthet III begins right where the second one left off, and basically the movie follows both Marybeth and some crazy old lady and a S.W.A.T team off in the swamp investigating the murders of Victor Crowley; and yes, Victory Crowley eventually attacks them. Do not expect Danielle Harris to be the main star of this film, however. She isn't in it as much as the second one, and definitely needed more screen time. But just like the first 2, this film is a non-stop gore fest. I really can't compare a Hatchet film based off the violence, they're all the same to me. But this movie is definitely the most "serious" of the Hatchet films, unlike the first 2 that you could almost call Horror-Comedies. I'm not saying this is a Dark and Gritty film, because it does still have humorous and comedic moments, like a pair of balls dangling from a tree. Yeah, you read that right.

But Hatchet III delivers, just like the way it should. There are also quite a bit of unexpected cameos as well, which I will not spoil...including one reoccurring character from the previous films that comes from the open, which I will DEFINITELY not spoil. But overall, Hatchet III is a great finale to the one and only Hatchet franchise. Although it isn't the best of the series, the first will always be the best, I do think it is a slight better than the second. But hey, personally I like all of them just the same.

Now I will not spoil the ending for you, but let's just say, it's the perfect way to end a great Horror movie franchise that will hopefully live on forever.
