Blood Hook

see this was a film that i’ve tried to watch 2 times already but everytime i got to about 10 to 20 minutes into it i’d automatically get bored with it and shut it off so today i told myself i’d try to give it a third try and see if it becomes one that i end up loving and man im so glad that i decided to give another try because this one ended up being such a fun and enjoyable film for me like once you get past the very slow beginning and shit starts to take motion it’s when it begans to get good like for instance what i loved about how the killer in this one murdered his victims was how it was a very creative one at that with how in these usual slasher films we see the obvious choice of weapon to be a knife well not in the case of this killer because his personal choice was a fishing hook and i just found it to be so hilariously unique because i could just imagine that when this man was going into his little psychosis breakdown from the blaring music and cicadas that set him off because of his metal plate that was placed into his head all i could think about was him picturing the victims as some fish and him just throwing his hook into the water and it latching onto them as he then proceeded to whisk them away because i’ve got to say that this man had some serious skill with how perfectly he aimed his fish hook to where he’d catch his victims so easily and even though the deaths in this one weren’t ones that were all that gruesome and all you saw was some bits of blood here and there and them being killed offscreen i really didn’t mind it all that much because it kind of gave off that eerie and chilling vibe so much more through the whole thing which i did tend to love and the characters in this one weren’t really ones that i did seem to care all that much for but they were decently written ones where they’re right there in the middle of the spectrum of being equally likeable and dislikable characters plus the story in this one was pretty decently written as well because i did like the little twist to the killer on why he tended to act out and murder these innocent people but this one earned a 5 stars from me personally and is def going onto my list of slashers i love from the 1980s.
