With new revelations and what appears to be a final solution for Crowley's curse, could this really be the final installment in the franchise? (insert sinister laugh here)

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 2, 2018

It may not be perfect, but Hatchet III is still a ton of fun and McDonnell does a great job at delivering a sequel that feels much bigger and bolder than anything we've seen so far in the Hatchet series.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2016

The trilogy ends with a bang. And blood. A bit clumsy in the plot department but still pretty good fun.

| Aug 24, 2015

Hatchet III more specifically recalls the output from indie outfits like Troma. Which, given the energy and thrills provided by McDonnell's bare-bones bloodbath, is perhaps exactly as it should be...

It's great to see Zach Galligan on the big screen again, but Hatchet III serves up a host of unimaginative kills stymied by terrible gore effects. Strictly for fans of the series.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 28, 2013

HATCHET III is almost as much gleefully gory fun as the original - a comedy-horror hybrid that elicits screams of laughter and disgust in equal measure...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 20, 2013

It's admirable to see franchise mastermind Adam Green continue to make these gruesome features despite limited outside interest, but it's become increasingly difficult to distinguish one installment from the other.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 15, 2013

a throwback to the mid-80s Friday the 13th sequels

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 14, 2013

This horror sequel delivers the explicitly bloody mayhem genre fans crave.

| Jun 14, 2013

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

| Jun 14, 2013

If you've seen the first two films you know what to expect, but just like AC/DC still rocks hard with those same three chords they've been using since the 1970s, Green and McDonnell have a way of making the familiar feel fiendishly fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2013

Will there be a "Hatchet IV''? I shudder to think about it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 14, 2013

A satisfying and faithful capper to a series that was made by true-blue horror buffs as a love letter for true-blue horror buffs. Job well done.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2013

When the title of a movie consists of a number and the name of a tool, expectations are likely to be pretty low. So it feels somewhat incongruous to call "Hatchet III" a disappointment.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 13, 2013

Loud, redundant, and lacking in any genuine scares.

| Jun 13, 2013

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

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jun 13, 2013

As in the earlier installments, the climax comes across as merely one last clich designed to please gore aficionados who've been schooled on past, superior horror efforts.

| Original Score: D | Jun 13, 2013

While BJ McDonnell's Hatchet trilogy ender doesn't compare well to Adam Green's Hatchet I and II, there's still plenty of 80s slasher fun to keep hardcore fans watching what should be Victor Crowley's last hurrah.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 12, 2013

At the very least 'Hatchet III' delivers some gore and thrills that hardcore horror fans are going to eat up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 12, 2013

The flick delivers an epic-sized bloodbath that's top to bottom fun, laughs, action, and gore. It serves as a bloody exclamation point to one of modern horror's best trilogies.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 12, 2013
