Leichen an der Angel (1986)

Leichen an der Angel: Directed by Jim Mallon. With Mark Jacobs, Lisa Jane Todd, Patrick Danz, Sara Hauser. During a local fishing contest, people are being violently dragged into the lake and killed by a giant fish hook.

“u0026quot;Blood Hooku0026quot;, Terror of the fresh water fishermen. Itu0026#39;s a typical slasher movie of the 80s. A group of kids go somewhere. They meet an assortment of strange characters. One by one the characters get killed off in a bloody way. Bad acting, a poor plot, and ridiculous situations permeate this movie. All the usual stuff for a rip em up movie such as this. This blood and guts spilling movie takes place on a fresh water lake among a group of fishermen during a fishing tournament. That may be unique, I donu0026#39;t recall seeing a fisherman slasher movie before. Someone kills off people with a huge treble hooked lure. Thatu0026#39;s what makes this movie a little different. Fishermen might get a kick out of this one. This is something to watch with your fishing buddies after a day of fishing. Sometime when your not in the mood for a really serious movie anyway. Another thing different about this movie is that Jim Mallon directed it. This is the same Jim Mallon that directed Mystery Science Theater; a show that pokes fun at badly made movies. u0026quot;Blood Hooku0026quot; would be a prime candidate for that show. I saw u0026quot;Blood Hooku0026quot; on a DVD I rented called Troma Triple B-Header containing three movies, u0026quot;Blood Hooku0026quot;, u0026quot;Bladesu0026quot; and u0026quot;Zombie Island Massacreu0026quot;. Low budget, low quality, simple stuff. I got what I expected and a few unexpected laughs to go along with it.”
