Terror no Pântano 3

HATCHET III picks up right where part two left off. Having finally "killed" Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder), Marybeth (Danielle Harris) walks into the police station, covered in blood, with a gun in one hand and a gushy memento in the other, leading to her arrest.

Meanwhile, back at Honey Island swamp, the investigating officers are in for a big surprise. Now, with the law involved, Marybeth returns to the swamp, a deputy (Robert Diago DoQui), and a local reporter (Caroline Williams) in tow. However, they must first retrieve something that just might put an end to Crowley forever.

Every bit as gory / humorous as the first two installments, Part 3 ups the firepower ante, bringing in the sheriff's dept. as well as a SWAT team led by the one and only Derek Mears. Of course, this makes little difference. Fast-paced and sometimes explosive, H3 works well, in spite of its lacking Adam Green in the Director's chair. Watch for Sid Haig in a wonderful cameo!...

Well, Hatchet 1 was interesting. An all-star horror film cast, bringing the old geezers back to us one more time, all of them together, you could say you enjoyed the first just for this reason alone!

2nd part, not that great. Kinda dumb actually, just your usual horror sequel, bad, stupid, something to fill and hour and a half with.

So, what can I tell you about the third one? It was great to see the series ending (tho rumors of a 4th movie exists) with more brains, more gore and more fun! I laughed, I was interested, and overall entertained!

So thank you guys, those who were involved in the making of the last piece, for a grand finale! It was all worth it.

Cause of this movie alone, the series will be remembered as a little gem, a modern horror series that actually succeed, that you might download and watch it with your friends one spooky night!

Thank you guys, thank you for adding one more good trilogy, even tho is more gore than horror, I salute you!

All in all, watch it! Definitely a great ending, a nice series, and a character, Victor Crowley, to be remembered!

Last week I saw all 3 back to back and it could easily fit all these 3 movies into one full movie,

I loved first movie, It's had gore, it some Nudity and it's some nice tongue in cheek moment that I loved everything about it!

In 2010 I could not wait to see Hatchet 2, I got hopes up little to high, cause, I didn't like, I found that it was tone down some bit,

I found it less gory and it took while for movie to get going after the boring middle part and with no humour.

I didn't really get my hope for this one, Cause, I knew if I did , I would be disappointed by this.

For me Hatchet 3 I found just little more fun and a bit better then Hatchet 2.

I loved the opening of the movie, that is one hell of way to start and I loved very gory opening in this movie.

I think movie a lot more better pace then second movie, there not many of Jump scenes in this movie like Number 2 and calmer scenes don't seem to drag on and I was not bored with this movie at all.

The side-plot of the movie could have been better but it okay and I really enjoyed the last few scenes in the movie.

I loved those effect in the last few scenes, it was very gooey, I did not expect that but I did find little silly how it happened.

Improvement on second movie but I felt they were missing the some of the dark Humour that made first one a lot more fun.

6/7 out of 10 really good sequel

As Adam Green says, this is the last part of his own vision. It was always meant to be a trilogy (though obviously you never know if you can actually make 3 movies, depending on how successful your franchise is). But of course, who knows what the studio might decide to do with the franchise? There might be a couple of Hatchets coming our way (recently Saw 8 has been announced to be in development ... they always come back, sooner or later).

Concerning this recent output, it is what you'd expect it to be. It wasn't directed by Adam Green, but he was still very much hands on (writing and contributing in general for the production of the movie). Unfortunately it doesn't reach the fun factor of the first one. It does reach the gore factor of the previous ones, in case that is what you're looking for solely.

There will be a few surprise appearances (if no one spoiled them for you) and you might chuckle here and there (Adam Greens wife is in it too and he's not being gentle with her ... in the movie that is). A recurring actor appears in this, this time with a better excuse than in part two (one of the better jokes of the script). A fun little watch, nothing more, nothing less

Hatchet III is better than Hatchet II which took itself way too seriously. Hatchet I had a great first half and an equally underwhelming second half. Part III actually is funnier than Part I but the gore scenes run out of creativity towards the end. Still, the first half hour features a great mix of gags and gore including a glorious cameo from Adam Green himself.

The cast is a smörgåsbord of actors from horror movies which we watched before and loved. Zach Gilligan is hilarious as a sheriff who is given absolutely no respect. Derek Mears kicks ass and I was chuffed to see Old Jason vs New Jason. Caroline Williams could probably be termed as a supporting protagonist considering the impact she has on the story although her lion's share of screen time is spent in service of a subplot which could be considered as padding. Then there is Danielle Harris who manages to kick ass in a glorified cameo. Kane Hodder is a total beast who owns pretty much everything in his way. Sid Haig has an unnecessary cameo but is pretty funny. There are other funny cameos which I won't spoil.

Overall, this is a watchable movie. It's still not great but it's entertaining and a decent way to spend 1.5 hours.
