The Hookman Cometh

They don't make 'em like this anymore. Scream Bloody Murder is about as cheap and gritty as they come and filled with gore and performances that might be more comfortable on a community theater stage . Despite some setbacks, it's a intriguing story and it's got some good surprises up its sleeve and a serious mean streak.

Scream Bloody Murder is all about a young boy who loses his hand in a tractor accident and grows up to kill his parents and anyone else who angers him before focusing on a woman, kidnapping her, and holding her in a large house as his girlfriend.

The film does lag in it's 2nd act once the lead has captured his prey and the whole thing starts to feel like a claustrophobic stage play, but it picks up some steam at the end and even sports an appearance by Angus Scrimm (the Tall Man from the Phantasm films).
