Three On A Meathook Movie Review
A youngster named Billy (James Pickett) brings a group of chicks back to his house and kills them; however, due to a mental condition, he remembers none of it. Billy soon falls for another woman, but fears he will end up killing her as well. We start off getting to know the women Billy kills, and enough time is spent with them we expect them to be around for the entire film, so their deaths are pretty shocking...and bloody.
Hook'er?
After the initial bloodshed, this movie slows to a crawl...and it crawls for quite some time, as we see Billy go to the movies, to a night club, meet a girl, get to know her, tell his dad all about her...yeah, patience is a must here. To say this is a low-budget film is an understatement, and it screams grindhouse, so if this is not your thing, you'll likely not find much enjoyment in this movie. I have no idea if this film has been digitally restored, but the version I saw looks like a transfer from the original reel, which adds to the entertainment value for me. These grindhouse films are certainly an acquired taste, and I am a fan of them. The acting is bad, of course, but nothing is too terrible. If you can hang on through the middle portion of this film, and make it to the final ten minutes, you will be rewarded--this movie has a fantastic ending and a twist or two you may not see coming. If Three On A Meathook could have packed most of the movie with the excitement we get in the beginning and the end, it would be considered a horror classic--unfortunately, most of the film is just boring.
