Blood Hook (1986)

A killer is loose on the lake and the sheriff wants to keep things quiet because it's the week of the big fishing tournament.  

Peter and his friends head up to the lake house where his grandfather died.  Soon after people start getting killed, which causes Peter to have flashbacks as he was with his grandfather when he died.

The killer uses a fishing lure to snare his unsuspecting victims.  Even when he has to cast several times to hook them, they don't notice the splash of the hook or sound of the line flying through the air.

The biggest question after the discovery of the killer is how he could have gotten away with it for so long.  The guy strung the corpses together on fishing line and had them bobbing in their life vests under his dock.  Really, no one ever saw or smelled this?

The films claim to fame is that it was made with the involvement of two future MST3K members, Jim Mallon and Kevin Murphy.
