Kane Hodder is a standout in the ensemble and is a formidable villain. It's like a slasher film from the 1980s and the dialogue is somewhat funny and snarky. There are some funny moments that stand out in all the heart-wrenching scenes.
However, due to the Hatchet 3 (2013) Decker Shado limited budget (reportedly just $1 million) most of the locations are repeats from previous films in the series--the same boat house was used two times within the movie and much of it feels like it's been recycled from other films in this franchise.

Overall, Hatchet 3 was a good series overall. There was plenty of gory thrills, and there were some great performances from the actors.
