Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Absolutely Fantastic
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
A bunch of obnoxious out-of-towners at a Wisconsin fishing competition become catch of the day when a local war-veteran with a metal plate in his cranium is sent kill crazy by the combined frequencies of bad rock music and cicadas (!?!!?!). By casting a triple-hooked doohickey (I think that's the correct fishing term) with superhuman accuracy, the maniac skilfully 'lands' each victim before stringing their corpses together, ready for grinding up to feed to his minnows.With such a nasty method of dispatching victims, Blood Hook should be a wonderfully gory film, featuring plenty of gruesome make-up effects as the hooks tear at the victims' skin; however, the death scenes actually prove frustratingly tame, the hooks never shown puncturing the flesh, the actors simply smearing blood on their skin as they pretend (unconvincingly) to be pulled to their death. The only time we witness anything slightly graphic—the addition of a fresh corpse to the catch line—the effects are woefully unconvincing.With such pathetic gore, plus horrible characters, terrible dialogue, only the briefest smattering of nudity, a terribly uneven tone that makes one wonder whether this is supposed to be a comedy or a horror, and an inconclusive ending in which the killer appears to escape (unless I have matters confused, which is quite possible since I was really struggling to stay awake by the end), Blood Hook is a total waste of time—much like the inexplicably popular pastime of fishing!
This is poor. I am usually very forgiving of anything brought to us by the illustrious Troma team, though they do tend to be either great or awful. Sadly, this falls into the latter category.The premise (such as it is!) - Some 'kids' go off into the middle of nowhere for a wild time, and have the misfortune of turning up in a place where people are beginning to be killed. But not just any old way. No kitchen knives, guns or strangulation here. No. They are being killed by a giant fish hook. Yep, you heard me, a giant fish hook. And that's about it really.General slasher fare, with the twist being that the weapon is usually only applied to scaly poissons. My problem here is the lack of atmosphere, and the general lack of bloodshed. Everything happens off screen, and there's nothing excessive about it at all. That's why I love Troma at times - the excessive gore, nudity and violence that they are so fond of, so when it's all missing, I tend to feel a little disappointed.One to avoid gore hounds.
The movie starts with the typical group of guys and gals going somewhere for a vacation. In this case it is a big fishing tournament up North. The plot builds, and eventually, the party starts losing members to murder by a really big fish hook! The actor who plays the murderer is actually quite creepy. The story goes that the murderer had a mental plate in his head which makes him go crazy when he hears the bugs in the woods chirping loudly. The murderer eventually gets caught but not before pretty much everyone is dead.That is the movie folks. Now you do not have to waste your time watching it since I have wasted mine watching it for you.
What better then a Movie involving a Musky fisherman going around killing people...lol..... This movie is a must see for any who fishes for Musky. Even some of the names in the movie will make some laugh. Finner, Fenner. The annoying family from Oak Park, Illinois is my favorite.... As old man Luedtke says, the lake isn't a playground. They even got the Giant Musky from the Freshwater hall of Fame in the movie... Definitely a must see for every Musky Fisherman out there. Besides the two guys from MST3000 did anyone else go on to anything else? Makes one want to go for a trip to Hayward and go fishing. I think they even cover most stereo types from the 80's.
