jessegehrig They had the money to shoot the film well, like they got a real cinematographer who understood lighting and framing. They had the money for quality post-production work like with editing and cleaning up the footage, it doesn't look cheap, well it doesn't look sh*tty cheap. The effects are also not terrible, so they had money for that and some one who knew what they were doing. I guess the movie's only obvious problem is the story. All that money and all of the resources gathered to assemble this movie and the film makers forgot the most important part, STORY. Folks, do not ever go cheap on story, throw all your money and efforts at the story, hey and here's a novel idea, make that story be original, y'know, unique, the pay-out is always worth it.

vengeance20 Not sure where to start with this one! I mean, it was OK but a few things didn't make it as good!Hatchet III picks up from where the 2nd one ended, Marybeth kills Victor with her shotgun! But! He comes back to life again despite his face being shot in! As Marybeth walks away Victor appears out of nowhere & tries to kill Marybeth but falls in his chainsaw cutting him up in several pieces!Marybeth arrives at the police station with Victors scalp & her shotgun all blood caked & filthy! She then gets put in prison. A reported who knows the story persuades Marybeth to help her for her story along side killing off Victor permanently! Now, although the film was gory, graphic & vicious! I couldn't help noticing the blood was too red & too thin! It seemed more like red watery paint was getting sprayed about & at people! The deaths got abit repetitive & tame as the film progressed! Don't get me wrong! It was gory & right up my street, but because the deaths seemed abit rushed & were quite over used!The characters were OK, not much to say as you only see them for 5-10 mins in the film!Story-line was fairly interesting! Get Victor Crowley's fathers ashes to kill him off for good! There was however a surprise visit from Ben! Yes from the first Hatchet film who we only see for no more than 10 seconds flat! Right before he get a hatchet to his face! But again the films, as a whole, had the stupid female sole survivor horse crap in them! I dislike that very much in these films!Not much else to say! The ending was good! Marybeth smashed the urn onto Victors face & chose to fire a shot at him via a shotgun screaming "F*#K IT!!"But! We don't know if Marybeth survived or not! Have to wait & see when a Hatchet IV comes out!Overall! It was an average film! Not amazing! Not Crap! But OK!7/10

Reno Rangan Hatchet movies never were my type of horror-thriller. But I do enjoy the gore yet find hard to peep with wide open eyes because killing were very brutal even though I know it is fake. Like previous two, this the third installment was not bad at all. I can say third time lucky. The story followed with new characters and one unchanged, any guess? Victor Crowley. Without him this movie is nothing.As a sequel, it was well done, I mean well developed characters to bring to the killing arena. Of course, many intense scenes that did not bothered story to proceed. Kind of convinced, that it all ended here with this trilogy. That is what all I am believing right now, but I won't be surprised if another movie makes its way.

rivertam26 A vast improvement after the dragged out and seemingly unnecessary sequel Hatchet 3 returns with an electrifying opening scene returning it mostly to it's gory roots. Along for the ride this time around are a cast of horror vets including Caroline Williams of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Derek Mears of the Jeepers Creepers films and a few others. Danielle Harris reprises her role as Mary Beth much better and contained in this installment. After murdering Crowley she returns to town blood soaked with a rifle and is immediately arrested. But a curious reporter joins forces with her to end it once and for all. There are some super impressive death scenes as should be expected including a face fisting, many creative decapitations and countless other body parts being removed. but what makes the material work most of all in this sequel is that it has a point and is heading towards a slightly rushed but fulfilling conclusion to the Hatchet trilogy. One can only hope for more carnage with a sequel that hopefully moves the action into the mainland and Mardi gras. ***.5/5
