Hatchet III (Uncut and Unrated)

I consider this the best of the Hatchet series. The first two Hatchet movies were enjoyable, but I find this the most entertaining. Danielle Harris returns from Hatchet II as Marybeth, starting where Hatchet II ended and has her going to the police station. There she is arrested for having a shotgun, Victor Crowley's scalp, and being covered in blood. The police investigate the swamp and are killed by Victor Crowley. Kane Hodder returns as Victor, giving a menacing and gruesome portrayal of the character. There's several graphic kills and the practical effects look fairly believable. The movie features several horror movie stars including: Danielle Harris, from Halloween 4, 5, the remakes, and Hatchet II; Kane Hodder, from Friday the 13th Parts VII to Jason X and Hatchets I and II; Derek Mears from the Friday the 13th reboot; Zach Galligan from Gremlins; Caroline Williams from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II; and Sid Haig from House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. The story is basic, Marybeth is arrested for believed murder, the police investigate the swamp, the SWAT team led by Derek Mears arrive, and they are killed by Victor. Caroline Williams' character talks the remaining cop to take Marybeth to give Victor his father's ashes, believing the spell will be released. The entire police and SWAT teams are killed except for one coroner. Marybeth is impaled on a tree and spills the ashes on Victor and as he melts, she blows him up with a grenade launcher. It is unknown whether she is alive or dead. I believe she is alive. This is easily the most entertaining, violent, graphic, and probably the funniest of the whole trilogy. If you are a fan of the Hatchet movies or movies that are darkly comedic, I recommend this movie. I would also say that it's better to understand the story if you watch them in chronological order because they are all closely connected and the whole trilogy takes place in a few days. I like Hatchet III a lot.

Perhaps redeeming the franchise for the previous sequel, and matching the former glory of part 1! Oh, and sooooooooooo wonderfully, deliciously, splatteringly gory!!!! Part II SIDEBAR: So after Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder; Friday the 13th parts VII-X, Hatchet) survived being burned alive and speared through the neck in part 1, he pulled a Jason Voorhees and aquatic-ambushed Marybeth (then played by Tamara Feldman), the credits rolling with Marybeth in his clutches. Replacing Tamara Feldman as Marybeth, Danielle Harris (Halloween I-II, The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond) escapes Crowley and assembles a hunting party to put an end to the curse and avenge her murdered alligator-poaching family. Part II ended when Marybeth gave Victor Crowley a mutilating head smashing with his own hatchet and then finished off his skull muck with a shot gun. So, clearly, he’s dead now, right? Psssssh. As if apologizing for the notable drop in quality observed in part II, director BJ McDonnell picks up former writer/director Adam Green’s (Frozen, Hatchet I-II) spoofy franchise and begins part III with a mushy gooey extra sloppy opener! That’s right, Crowley impossibly got right back up with nothing but Sloppy Joe filling for a face! Gorehounds will rejoice as Marybeth buries her fist into Crowley’s caved in face with all the lip-smacking sound effects of stomping your boots in thick sludgy mud. Oh, and the chainsaw-induced gore… just delicious! Franchise Timeline SIDEBAR: Note that part 1 took place in just one day, and part II was the very next day… much as the swift continuity of Friday the 13th parts II-IV. Now part III begins right after Marybeth shot Crowley in the face… or what was left of it. So these three movies span only three back-to-back days in movieland. Sheriff Fowler (Zach Galligan; Waxwork, Gremlins) and his local Crowley folklore expert ex-wife (Caroline Williams; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Leprechaun 3) team up with Marybeth and SWAT leader Hawes (Derek Mears; Friday the 13th, Cursed) to put an end to the unkillable mutant hillbilly Crowley. Rounding out the cast, Parry Shen (The Hazing/Dead Scared) returns yet again in a third role (Andrew) in as many movies after playing the part II’s brother (Shawn) of part I’s tour guide (Justin)! This third franchise installment brings viciously awesome pacing and completely redeems 2010’s slow starting (and slow middling) sequel by delivering a defibrillator death scene, loads of spine-ripping and limb-tearing dismemberment, torso rending, severed head throwing (at other victims!!!!), head gauging, head exploding, head splitting and smushy gushy head stomping. The gore is heavy and by the end everything is painted in blood! Amid the zany fun are nods to Predator (1987; shooting down the forest), Jason Voorhees’ incredible resurrections (e.g., the knife in the head), 80s death curses (e.g., Myers and Voorhees), and Fright Night’s (1985) disturbingly messy melting death. The whole curse thing was probably the weakest aspect of the movie, but who could even care or notice? There was so much action and blood and gore… horrorhounds will find themselves smiling throughout the entire running time of this wonderful sequel that does true honor to the 2006 original and forgives any hiccups of part II.

Oh yea, I was having one of those really bad days and I needed something to really express how I felt. I saw Hatchet III and the first part of the movie has a 6' long chain saw coming up through crowleys chest blowing blood all over the chick that put it under him and that was the first part. I realized it could only get better for then on out. Love this Movie, I hope you are in to guts, gore and lots of blood!!!!!!!!

Good movie, great price.

If you loved the first 2 Hatchet movies, you've been dying to see this. There was no disappointment for me. The bodycount is at its highest, the gore is plentiful and gruesome, and the cameo roles from a few of your horror movie favorites are there to boot. This "final" go round with Victor Crowley didn't contain the obligatory sex scenes or boobage of Hatchets past, but we do see Danielle Harris get hosed down "Rambo style" in a jail shower...(We even see her sexy tattoo!)..and for the ladies, well, they get to live out their fantasy of seeing a set of gonads hanging from a tree branch. (insert your own hated "ex" here, girls) Not wanting to give anything crucial away to anyone who hasn't seen it yet, my lips are sealed...but we do finally get to hear Victor utter something besides those grunts, growls and gutteral howls echoing from the swamp. Kane Hodder is THE MAN, (as always), and everyone in the cast delivers on their end of the performance too. Could there possibly be a part 4? You'll have to decide for yourself on that one. Grab some popcorn, plant your tail on the couch and enjoy the madness!

I absolutely love the Hatchet series. I can't really say anything bad about this movie. Great special effects, good acting, and will keep u fully entertained the whole time, without getting bored. Gory as hell, but that's what's so great about these. I do think the Blu-ray edition could have been better than what it was. It was a little grainy, and looked a little dull in some scenes, but other than that, I was happy with my purchase

I am giving Hatchet 3 a 5 star rating, though I wouldn't consider it a 5 star movie. If you are a fan of the first two films in this series, you will enjoy this one as well. It sets out to do exactly what you would expect from a film of this caliber. This one picks up right where the last film left off and quickly gets to gross out over the top violence, It features actors from various horror classics like the last two, and Victor Crowley kills pretty much everyone that crosses his path, just like the last two. Usually when a sequel in a franchise doesn't explore new ground, I get kind of bored with the series, but for some reason Hatchet seems to be the exception for me. As long as there is little plot development and gallons of blood, count me in for Hatchet 4 as well.

I enjoy all 4 of these movies. The dvd was packaged well, but it arrived broken. The disc is fine, but the case is too broken to even close. Those of us that purchase physical copies of movies want the case to be in perfect condition too. I’m not if it was the sellers fault or the mailmen, so 3/5.

Und das ist mein voller Ernst! Verstehe mal wieder diese komischen 1-2-3- Sterne- Bewertungen gaaar nicht. Nicht nachvollziehbar. Für meinen Geschmack. Teil DREI hat alles..ist profimäßig. Wie der Slasher- Fan es erwartet. Sehen will. Nach WIRKLICH guter, nervenfetzender Spannung schlägt der Unhold ab der vierzigsten Minute erbarmungslos zu...und alles kurz und klein! Joh! Klasse! Auch die Maskerade des Killers ist und sitzt absolut perfekt- man merkt den Unterschied des Regiewechsels von Adam Green (Hatchet 1+2) zum Kameramann BJ McDonnell. Oh ja. Jap. Insgesamt viel spannender- wobei Green versuchte, mehr an die Achtziger- Slasher zu erinnern. War auch nicht unbedingt schlecht, aber...da hallt/ wirkt der dritte Teil von HATCHET m. M. wesentlich stärker nach. Denn da ist Jason Vorhees gegen den guten Victor Crowley geradezu ein Waisenkind. Wo Victor hinlangt, fliegt das ganze menschliche Geschlöngels nur so DURCH DEN SUMPF! Mahlzeit! ;o) __________________________________________________________ Story: Wieder mopsfideeeel und gut regeneriert sinnt unser Victor jetzt wieder, aber fürchterlicher denn je, auf RACHE! Marybeth,- im Glauben, den Killer wohl endgültig zur Strecke gebracht zu haben- , wird in eine nahegelegene Polizeistation gebracht, wo der Verdacht bezüglich der grausamen Morde direkt auf sie fällt. Niemand möchte ihr glauben, daß in den Wäldern eine unberechenbare Killer- Maschine haust. Um ihre Unschuld zu beweisen, willigt sie ein, die Asche von Crowley`s Vater zu finden, die dem Spuk schließlich ein für alle Mal ein Ende setzen soll...... Während dessen werden die leblosen Überreste des Killers von einem SWAT- Team in Sicherheit gebracht. Keiner der Anwesenden ahnt, daß die Kreatur wieder auferstehen und ihr blutiges Treiben erneut fortsetzen wird. Kann Marybeth dem rastlosen Mörder noch rechtzeitig das Handwerk legen?? ---------------------------------------------------------- Fazit: Köpfe werden gespalten, Hirne fliegen vor die Linse und Gliedmaßen werden auch abgetrennt. Ein regelrechtes Effekt- Feuerwerk. Wie schon der zweite Teil schließt auch Teil drei nahtlos an das Geschehen der Vorgänger an. Man muß auch definitiv die ersten Teile nicht gesehen haben, denn dank immer wiederholender Erklärungen der Geschichte um Victor Crowley steigt man auch im letzten Teil ohne Probleme durch/ein. EXTRAS: Behind the Scenes; toll, interessant und sehr amüsant!! Raising Kane; fantastisch! Swamp Fun! Sehenswert! FÜNF blutdurstige, alles zerstückelnde Sterne! Für diesen wohl leider letzten Teil. Aber wer weiß das schon? KAUFEMPFEHLUNG?? Aber sichi!!
