Is it a slasher? Is it a mystery? Is it a \u201cmeat movie?\u201d Yes, yes, and yes. Take a look at an early effort from the man behind The Manitou (1978), Grizzly (1976), and Day of the Animals (1977). While the film exposes the director\u2019s lack of experience and might be a chore to sit through, it displays his passion and talent for film and the genre and may hold a surprise or two. And, yes, the discussion is longer than the film.  Check out these other Decades of Horror 1970s episodes on films directed by William Girdler: ASYLUM OF SATAN (1972) \u2013 Episode 132 \u2013 Decades of Horror 1970s GRIZZLY (1976) \u2014 Episode 31 \u2014 Decades of Horror 1970s DAY OF THE ANIMALS (1977) \u2014 Episode 38 \u2014 Decades of Horror 1970s THE MANITOU (1978) \u2013 Episode 10 \u2013 Decades Of Horror 1970s At the time of this writing, Three on a Meathook is available to stream from YouTube at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KZwwcQqI_mg.
