The Weakest Entry In The Hatchet Films
1 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Haven't seen this film in over 4 years & the other 3 in nearly 10, but, had a Halloween Marathon Film Night with the Hatchet Films & re-watched them including this one. I'm sure I review this one on here, but for some reason haven't...

The film sees the remaining survivor from the Victor Crowley attacks in 2007, Andrew Yong, once again forced to return to Honey Island Swamp where to his horror, Victor Crowley has been resurrected & is thirsty for blood.

I found the film to be overall ok. It's not great & lacks the back to back kills we see in the previous films. There's some gore to be had as well as some action but it's dubbed down with unlikable characters with vile attitudes.

Despite it being 75 minutes long (1 hour & 15 minutes), it does drag & lacks the kills & excitement & we see very little of Victor Crowley, who seems more absent in this entry than ever before. The story itself is weak & the humour is too self parody it's bad.

Saying that, the gore isn't bad, the eye candy is great & the ending wasn't to bad either to be actually fair with you. We get to see the honey, Danielle Harris in the post credits scene, hinting at a possible 5th Hatchet film...

Overall, it's not bad, but the weakest entry out of the Hatchet films for sure. It's more drama & less of the slasher, crashing & thrashing we see from the killing machine which is Victor Crowley. Despite the gore, kills & eye candy we did see, this film lacked.

5/10.
