Hatchet III (2013) 7/10

Starring : Danielle Harris, Kane Hodder, Zach Galligan, Caroline Williams, Parry Shen, Robert Diago DoQui
Director : BJ McDonnell
Running Time : 82 mins

Victor Crowley (Hodder) is finally dead and Marybeth (Harris) turns herself into the police to report she has successfully killed him, but the police arrest her, believing she is responsible for the multiple deaths in the local swamp. It isn’t long before a recovery team is sent out to collect the corpses, but the evil of Victor Crowley may not be over as it is revealed that he is cursed to come back in his original form every night, regardless of how mutilated his corpse may be.

Although still not as good as the original, this (allegedly) final instalment of the trilogy is an improvement on number two, with the characters feeling a bit more lively and engaging. Marybeth is still pretty terrible as the heroine of the piece, and she does little with the role in this, but fans of the series will enjoy the continually over the top violence and ridiculous death scenes that leave little to the imagination.
