thesar-2 I still don't know why I was hooked after even five minutes...This is one of those movies where the trivia and recommendation far outweighs the entertainment of the feature. For starters, I only just learned of this movie's existence yesterday when I was catching up on the podcast: Shockwaves, specifically episode 98. During that podcast's first half, the hosts discuss what they've seen in horror that past week. Here, they hilariously described this weird-ass 80s "comedy" horror.In an actual complex and incoherent script, during a small town fishing contest period of time, someone is killing off people for really a dumb reason with an incredibly odd choice of weapon that wouldn't work. I guess that's the part of comedy this was meant to be.Despite the hilarious recommendation from the Shockwaves guys and the aforementioned (hilarious and actually interesting) trivia on this, I can't extend a recommendation. Some scenes are, honestly, funny and I did laugh out loud a couple of times, but for the most part, this low-budget wannabe doesn't garner a single repeat watch from me. Going real fishing is absolutely more exciting.***Final thoughts: THAT all said, I highly recommend the Shockwaves podcast. Normally they don't all chime in at once and make me (and themselves) laugh out loud at the craziness of a movie, but this episode 98 was certainly a fun one.
adonis98-743-186503 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)
vonhelvete This might actually be the worst movie I've ever seen! Nothing in this flick was good, this is a case of bad acting, crappy plot, lousy script and pathetic effects. It must clearly be the worst movie ever under the Troma-brand! Is this really a Troma-film? It got no Troma-feeling at all! I relate Troma-films to crazy movies with raw humor, nudity and good old trashy gore, this movie got zero humor, no nudity (apart from a glimpse of side-boob) and really lousy gore scenes. I ended up pulverizing the DVD-disc after seeing this piece of garbage, just to be sure to never ever see it again!
mikey-242-435767 I rarely watch a 2 movie. But this one was so very bad that I stayed with it. My copy is an old VHS tape and that, alone, makes it horrible. Then the acting, script, insane situations, insane character interactions and so much more. It is just a total train wreck on every track.It is worth a watch if you are about half drunk and plan on making it all the way or high and want to watch a really so-bad-it's-funny movie.There actually is a plot. There is plot progression. Lots of people get killed and they work toward finding out who is behind all of it.Standard fare but in a very stupid way. Enjoy... or not.
