This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

For many people this is the worst one in the franchise. I cannot help but love these movies. I don't think this is as good as part 2, but i actually think that it's as good or even better than part 1. first of all, Victor Crowley looks awesome in this movie. He actually looks a little bit creepy. And the kills, again, are amazing. The effects are great. They're not as over the top as some of the kills in the second one, so some people might really that. What many people are complaining about is the story. The fact that Marybeth is locked away for most of the movie. That actually doesn't bother me at all. I really like the story of this movie. What i don't really like is the fact that this movie is not as funny as the other ones. This is more of an action-splatter-horror film, but not really a comedy. There are some jokes, but i feel like there should've been more. Also i think the acting is good. Kane Hodder And Danielle Harris are both back and they're awesome. I really like the ending too. I like that they actually had the balls to kill off their villain. They way Victor dies is amazing. It looks awesome. To be honest i don't really know what else to say about this movie. I think it's fun as hell. Probably the second best one in the franchise for me. 8 out of 10.

Hatchet III picks up were part II left us--Marybeth trying to kill Crowley. It takes a couple of attempts till he finally falls on a running chainsaw and he's split in half. She scalps him and walks into a sheriff's station. Of course no one believes her and they place her in a cell. After some discussion finally deputies, the sheriff, paramedics (why paramedics?), a SWAT team go to the swamps and find countless bodies and body parts. They start dragging body bags onto the boat of the paramedics.Meanwhile an annoying reporter who has been listening to the police frequency shows up at the station, demands to speak to Marybeth. Turns out the reporter is the ex-wife of the sheriff on top of that so she manages to manipulate one of the deputies into doing whatever she wants. She has bad news. Crowley can't be killed. He always returns because he's on a mission and Marybeth is the solution--she and Crowley's father, or rather his ashes. So the three go to pick up the ashes in order to confront Crowley and put and end to him.Crowley of course has resurfaced and is killing any all law enforcement he can. A paramedic, a SWAT girl, and the sheriff manage to hide in a boat. It's not long until Crowley shows up and starts making his way inside. That's when the other three show up and try to lure him to them so they can present him with daddy's ashes.The other two Hatchets were alright but didn't convince me. One problem is that poor Kane Hodder is made to look so dysmorphic under all that make up that he just doesn't look menacing at all. And in the past neither the story nor characters were all that interesting. Part III is more focused, has a better story and it's just so enthusiastic about gore. And there's lots of great gore. I also enjoyed the subtle comedy and then the hilarious politically incorrect scene with Sid Haig. Director McDonnell also does a better job than Green. All that's missing in Hatchet III was more of Danielle Harris, who doesn't get to do a whole lot here, and more nudity, and it could have been a 10/10.

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

A search and recovery team head into a haunted swamp to pick up the pieces of extras from the last movie.Scream queen Danielle Harris learns the secret to ending the curse that has left Victor Crowley/Jason Voorhees haunting and killing locals in Honey Island Swamp for decades.Here in the UK, it's the horror franchise that hardly anyone has heard of. The last movie had one showing in a flea bitten cinema in the worst part of my city, Leicester, so it's not a big surprise.To describe the movie, its Predator, meets Friday the 13th, by way of Terminator, but with lots and lots of gore. It's probably more gorier than the Evil Dead remake, but unlike that movie, this has a sense of humour to it, and you will find yourself chuckling along with it, not at it.But, the films structure has been done so many times before, that it doesn't offer anything new. It's basically girl walks into police station covered in blood, no one believes her because the killer died years earlier, search squad go looking for survivors, and guess what? They realise she was right all along.The support are okay, and apart from the character of Amanda, the characters are quite likable.Its worth watching, but you will have seen it so many times before.But it's the best film ever made showing that Zach Galligan hasn't aged in thirty years.
