Watch Blood Hook For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

A Disappointing Continuation

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It's time for the annual "Muskie Madness" fishing contest, and the lake is packed with hopeful fishermen. It soon becomes apparent, however, that a psychotic serial killer has also decided to join the festivities. Although the police have determined that the killer is claiming his victims by landing them with giant fishhooks, no clear suspects can be found since everyone is using the exact same hook! Blood Hook is definitely a B-Movie and that gets to be clear from just reading this stupid plot that it has. The reveal of the killer was very disappointing and the way he gets defeated even worse. Definitely a Horror Comedy that is neither good on any of those genres or at least entertaining. (0/10)

Blood Hook (1986) ** (out of 4)A small town in Wisconsin is having their annual fishing contest, which draws people from all over the country. A group of young adults plan on having some fun but before long they notice several people are going missing. It turns out that a mysterious person is using a fishing hook to kill people.BLOOD HOOK is a film that got released by Troma and it turned into a pretty big hit on VHS. The film is a send up of the slasher genre, although it doesn't go too far over-the-top in regards to laughs. It's easy to see why the film would gain a cult following but I must say that I had a few too many issues with it that prevented me from enjoying it more.I will say that I really enjoyed Jim Mallon's direction and I thought he did a very good job at building up the atmosphere of this small town. I also liked the look of this small town, the wooded area and the lake itself becomes its own character and a good one. I'd also argue that there are a few creative moments in regards to some of the death scenes and I liked the "fishing" nature of the murders.With that being said, this thing clocks in at a whopping 111-minutes, which is a good forty-minutes too long. I really don't understand why this thing lasted so long and especially since there are so many scenes that just run on and on and on. There are so many characters here and many of them are given a lot of screentime for no real purpose. I really thought the film and its style would have worked a lot better with a 70 or 80-minute running time.I also thought the majority of the characters were mildly interesting but just not enough to warrant the time. The death scenes are good for what they are but there weren't enough in that long running time. BLOOD HOOK had enough interesting moments to make it worth sitting through to this rabid horror fan but I think most people will be completely bored by it.

BLOOD HOOK is a low budget and low effort slasher film shot in Wisconsin, of all places. The original title was MUSKIE MADNESS, but given that I and few other viewers are likely to know what a muskie is, Troma picked up the film and released it with the more generic slasher title BLOOD HOOK.And this is definitely a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) type of movie. It's about a mystery killer who butchers people with a giant fish hook, pulling them into the water where they subsequently drown. It has a little Friday the 13th vibe going on, although most of the time it's cheesily inept rather than effective; the acting is very poor and the bog standard direction not much better.It's also a relatively bloodless movie given the title, with a couple of notable exceptions towards the end. The first is a bit involving a hook through someone's mouth which has some excellent effects; the second is a close-up shot of some bloated corpses coming out of the water which is cheap and yet oddly gross and stomach-turning. BLOOD HOOK can hardly be considered a low budget gem - it's of the same quality as something comparable like MEMORIAL VALLEY MASSACRE - but slasher fans might get a kick or two out of it.

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.
