What a load of rubbish. This is a typical low budget American psychological horror drama except the horror is unconvincing and the psychological is pathetic. Gratuitous nudity of nubile young females, okay, that's a plus, but why would anyone want to murder them and hang them on meat hooks? That is of course a rhetorical question; there have been plenty of real horrors of this nature, and this is said to be based loosely on the well-known tale of Ed Gein - incredibly loosely, it would appear, but seriously, is this entertainment? The film begins with a mass murder, but after that it is incredibly slow; the best thing about it is the music, and really that is not much of a compliment.

This movie hits a whole new level of badness, I have seen some bad poorly made slasher movies in my time, but "Three On A Meathook" really takes it in its stride, seen as a sleazier take on "Psycho" and of course has none of its charm, intelligence or integrity, I knew from the very beginning that this movie was gonna be bad with its graininess hard to see scenes and horrible acting. We're introduced to 4 girls with no attempt at adding depth to they're parts, the only one that stood out was the blonde one and that's only because she was the first to get seen and naked I might add which added a kind of nice touch to the proceedings.The deaths were poorly done but had some nice touches of blood splatter, but I couldn't help but think that this movie felt more like a porno movie, I don't know it just had that feel to me and the so called twist ending was no surprise I figured it out as the murders happened. The dialogue was laughable and the music score was awful and just drags on and on making this movie feel longer than it actually is. But despite all its many flaws I did however find the father and son characters somewhat interesting and an odd character study.All in all just keep your expectations low.

This film starts out good but get's very very slow. A few kills in the beginning but then nothing for a long long time. I'd say more of a drama than a horror film as it's pretty slow and has a little romance thing going on. This movie doesn't even come close to the hype that the title portrays. It's not exactly lame but not far from it. Very slow and drama-like for most part of the movie. I had to ramble and repeat things because this requires that you use a minimum of 10 lines. All I really wanted to say was that this film is pretty slow outside the starting point but then gets really slow soon after. It's a kind of cool story but nowhere as near as notorious as the title offers. I'd almost call it a drama if not for the beginning.

Four girls on their way home from skinny dipping have their car brake down. A guy offers to put them up in his dad's house for the night. And as you can probably figure out by the title things don't go to well. A few call this one of the classic slashers, is it? not by a long shot. Most call this one of the worst slashers ever. Is it? Again not by a long shot. Yea it's inept and certain scenes go on forever. But this is in no way the worst slasher ever. Hell it's not even the worst of 1972 (if you don't believe me go watch Brain of Blood or The Corpse Grinders) I'd take this over lame ass Hollywood 'horror' movies any day. Technically it shouldn't be called "Three on A meathook" though.My Grade: C+Eye Candy: 5 girls show various amounts of skin
