User Reviews

a bit of the same and I had some bitter feelings toward the end

By know we all know who Victor Crowley is and we all do know that this franchise starts with the ending of the previous entry. And so it does. Victor being shot in the head. So it's over and out for Victor? No it isn't otherwise we shouldn't have a part 3.

And that's a bit of my problem with part 3. Victor resurrect again and again. Not that I have something against that fact but when he's cut in two by a chainsaw he still comes back. Luckily the gore is still there and Sid Haig is hilarious here even as he just comes in for a few minutes. The open ending of course makes it possible to start with Part 4 as Danielle Harris (Marybeth) could become the new killer, or am I wrong. But somehow this part didn't work out as I thought it would have. Although there's gore and goo (the ending scene with Victor) I was left with a bitter feeling. And if I say that the tattoo of Danielle took my attention as it is becoming bigger and bigger then I guess that says enough about Hatchet. Again, it wasn't bad but by now we have seen it all before.
