The Hook

The Hook is very much indebted to the sexy gialli of the late 1960s and early 1970s, making it feel somewhat old hat and out of step with the times. The plot involves the usual love triangle and duplicitous schemes, but on the plus side there’s an appealingly nasty edge to its collection of amoral schemers and it builds to a pleasantly nihilistic finale – assuming that such a thing is really possible!
