Jason and Shawn versus Hatchet III

Jason: Hatchet III might very well be the greatest movie ever made. Sure, there's better movies. More award-worthy movies. Classics that stand the test of time. But Hatchet III knows what it is, knows what its fans want to see, and delivers on every count. Few movies can say that, especially those pretentious Academy Award movies. I spit on them. Hatchet III gives us the goods. It shows us all the kills, all the gore. There's humour here too, although not as much as the first two movies. But who cares? I've bought it already. I will watch it again and again. Hatchet III is a Good and then some. Shawn: Sometimes a movie can tick all a dude's boxes on a day that fits whatever mood he's in. Today, that movie is Hatchet III. Sometimes I say (without going all gore porn like Saw ) "show us the damn head stomp, show us the ripping in half"....it's soooo frustrating when a movie doesn't. That said, there is a line between gore porn and nec...

The Basement vs Hatchet III

That's right, bitches! Shawn and I are sobering up long enough to share our thoughts on the latest installment of a franchise we know most Basementites are down with -- Hatchet III! You know: Victor Crowley, Kane Hodder, Danielle Harris, and scores of awesome and gory deaths? Hatchet? III? For the uninitiated, here's what the third flick is about: a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces (body parts from Hatchet II we'd assume) and Marybeth learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades. We'll be recording our thoughts next week and launching this mofo before the end of the month. Then it's only a few short weeks before we give birth to something we like to call Season Five of Film Reviews from the Basement. More on that as the date nears. Stick with us!

Time for a bit of a break

Just a quick word, Basement Dwellers, as life is taking some precedence at the moment for Shawn, Mike S and myself and that means daily updates will cease for the time being. Don't worry, we're still here and The Basement is still open. Movie news, reviews and our trademark don't-give-a-fuck attitude aren't going anywhere. We just need to step back, suck it up and reload. Regular updates will resume as the summer progresses. We'll be fully back in business by the time Season Five commences Oct. 10. Until then, enjoy this seriously cool poster for Hatchet III: Stick with us! Related articles Open the flood gates and let me out (or: RENT, DON'T BUY)...

Teaser trailer, release date for Hatchet III

I don't think any self-respecting horror fan can call themselves a self-respecting horror fan without watching Adam Green 's old-school slasher flick Hatchet and its sequel, the appropriately titled Hatchet II. Although far from perfect, Hatchet and Hatchet II bring fun back to the slasher subgenre with over-the-top gore and character-driven humour. And they've got a great antihero in Victor Crowley . I mean really great. Suffice to say we in The Basement are pretty damn excited that Hatchet III -- which feels like it's been filming for fucking ever -- hits theatres June 14. That's not far off, and that's fine by us. But wait, there's more. We've scored the teaser trailer for director BJ McDoonnell's film. So why not watch it now: This time around a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces and Marybeth ( Danielle Harris ) learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley h...
