Hatchet III (2013)

So Victor Crowley is dead? Head hacked up by his own hatchet and the remainder of what was once his ugly face, blown to hell with a shot gun blast.

Oh, wait! I was wrong... He's back!

Thanks to a local news reporter, Mary-Beth is once again forced to go back into the woods to try and put Crowley to rest once and for all.

Written by Adam Green, directed by BJ McDonnell, produced by Adam Green and Sarah Elbert. Staring Danielle Harris, Derek Mears, Caroline Williams, Zach Galligan and Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley.

The third (and doubtfully last) entry in Hatchet film series by Adam Green, plays out in the opposite manner that the first entry had. Starts off serious and half way through, someone goes a little crazy and pulls out the old "bazooka" rocket launcher... Hilarity ensues.

One of the biggest kicks I have gotten out of these films is not only the appearances by top horror genre actors such as Derek Mears, (Hills have eyes series) Sid Haig (House of 1000 corpses) and Sean Whalen (The people under the stairs), but the continuous addition of Parry Shen who has played a different character in each of the three films. They also included a scene of a paramedic stating that one of the victims looked just like him, in which he took offence to it.

The end of the trilogy was not at all what I was expecting it to be but I was very happy with the dedication to the campy 80's throwback style that was obvious in all the entries since the start.

The gore looked a lot better for this film than it did in part two. Although most of the kills were over the top, they still went all out for the gore effects to give it an edge.

Adam Green had written this installment but gave the directing task to BJ McDonnell who did a great job and was able to keep in line with the rest of the trilogy. And no need to worry, Adam did make his (drunken) appearance in this film as he had done previously.

Great throwback, fun kills, awesome cameo's and a whole hell of a lot of gore! This series was over the top and campy and I loved it for those reasons. But this entry has to be my favorite of the bunch and I need to give it an 8.5 out of 10.
