Critic Reviews

There's no shortage of visceral, gross-out thrills.

There’s something curiously underwhelming about the blood-soaked mayhem on display in Hatchet III.

The execution, however, leaves something to be desired, as this effort seems more visually muddled and choppier than previous installments.

Too busy with limb-severings and gunfire to bother being intelligent.

BJ McDonnell, too hesitant to stray from the beaten path set by Green's previous films, lacks the looser, more whimsical hand that would have allowed Hatchet III to transcend its thoughtlessly imitative state.

A film that plays like a long, tedious inside joke for fanboys.

Will there be a “Hatchet IV’’? I shudder to think about it.

The crowd that likes these things will certainly be psyched. Everyone else, not so much.
