Okay, maybe this first one isn’t a “ kill” per say.

The third entry in any horror series shouldn’t have been this solid. From its slick 2:35 cinematography to its endless stream of kills, Hatchet III is the Aliens of this slasher-splatter series. In many ways, Hatchet III is the best of the series. I was worried that without director Adam Green at the helm (even though he still wrote and produced) the film would lose all the charm of the first two entries.īoy, was I wrong. I remember putting Hatchet III off for a while – meaning I didn’t watch it the day it came out. After Jenna’s (Joleigh Fioravanti) bottom jaw is all but removed from the history books by Victor and his toolbox, she is then slammed down upon a shovel handle with blood spraying in buckets. Not only is the kill one of the most creative I’ve seen (bet you didn’t expect a belt sander to end your kissing career while out in the middle of the woods huh, Jenna?) but the kill continues! The other classic kill I’d like to highlight here today from the original film is poor Jenna meeting the wrong end of a gas-powered belt sander. Janet’s head being torn apart from the mouth to the back of the neck is something that I’m sure made even Adam Green cringe when he saw it onscreen.

Yes, let’s show some love to the death of Shannon Permatteo (Patrika Darbo) at the massive hands of Victor Crowley.

And let’s start with the kill that many consider being the best in the entire series – if not one of the best kills of all-time (other than the tent kill in Jason Goes to Hell).
