Dark Sky Films and ArieScope Pictures have released a red-band trailer for Hatchet III, the second sequel in the popular slasher franchise created by Adam Green and starring Danielle Harris (Halloween) as protagonist Marybeth and Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th) as supernatural backwoods killer Victor Crowley.

Written by Green and directed by BJ McDonnell, Hatchet III follows a search and recovery team as they set out to investigate Crowley’s murders at Honey Island Swamp. Marybeth, meanwhile, seeks for the truth behind the killer’s immortality.

I’ve always found the Victor Crowley character to be lame and goofy-looking, but the first two films’ kills were totally creative and fun. Judging by its new trailer, Hatchet III is going to be nuts. The film will play selected theaters on June 14 and arrive on DVD and Blu-ray on Aug. 13.

Peep it:
