This is poor. I am usually very forgiving of anything brought to us by the illustrious Troma team, though they do tend to be either great or awful. Sadly, this falls into the latter category.
The premise (such as it is!) - Some 'kids' go off into the middle of nowhere for a wild time, and have the misfortune of turning up in a place where people are beginning to be killed. But not just any old way. No kitchen knives, guns or strangulation here. No. They are being killed by a giant fish hook. Yep, you heard me, a giant fish hook. And that's about it really.
General slasher fare, with the twist being that the weapon is usually only applied to scaly poissons. My problem here is the lack of atmosphere, and the general lack of bloodshed. Everything happens off screen, and there's nothing excessive about it at all. That's why I love Troma at times - the excessive gore, nudity and violence that they are so fond of, so when it's all missing, I tend to feel a little disappointed.
One to avoid gore hounds.
