From the dustbin of video history

My review was written in November 1990 after watching the picture on Donna Michele video cassette.

Released on VHS with "Attack of the Killer Refrigerator", this is a 40-minute short film shot on video with a $3,500 budget in 1987 in Worcester, Massachusetts, by Mark Veau and his partner Michael Savino. Poorlymade-up by Robert W. Allen stars as an escaped mental patient who sticks a barbecue fork in the stump where his hand used to be and cuts up various youngsters.

There's precious little talent displayed by these tyro filmmakers, yet the video tape cues unintentional hilarity with the inclusion of a 26-minute local tv show "Behind the Scenes' hosted and produced by gushy Sean Nelson. It plays straight but is an unwitting parody of such documentaries. Comments at the "gala local premiere" of "Hook" are naive in the extreme.
