I recently watched Blood Hook (1986) on Tubi. The storyline unfolds during a fishing derby with numerous participants, but unfortunately, a serial killer with a giant fishing lure and pole is on the hunt for fishermen.
The film, directed by Jim Mallon (known for 78 episodes of Mystery Science Theater), features Mark Jacobs (Goodfellas), Lisa Jane Todd (Playback), Bill Lowrie (Prisoner), and Paul Heckman.
Embracing a classic '80s atmosphere in settings, circumstances, conversations, and acting, the movie stands out for its unique premise. The kills are unconventional, with a giant fishing lure soaring across the screen and landing on unsuspecting victims. While the film could have been better with additional gore and more impactful kills, they may have been the best they could do with low budget of $200k.
In conclusion, Blood Hook is a below-average addition to the horror genre that only for diehard fans of the '80s-era contributions to the genre. I would give it a score of 3.5-4/10 but recommend watching it once.
