Blades

Starting of, the sound was already below zero. I think I must had a bad copy or something. Basically there isn't anything scary in this one, almost no blood, no gore , no nudity, just boredom. The acting is extreme low and the script, well, it's a kind of rip off of Jaws and when the thing, won't spoil it, starts moving it does remind me of the evil spirits in Evil Dead. It's a lot of blah blah, don't know why people are giving this one 5 or more. Okay, it's a Troma release so it's cheesy but they have better things out. One of the turkeys I fast forwarded while watching, and I can tell you, I have seen already more then a thousand flicks. I gave it a two just because the score is okay. Got damn, what a waist of time, happy I just spoiled 1 euro on it.

another cheesy but hilarious film by TROMA. This film is nothing but a funny remake of JAWS. Instead of a shark, it's a pumped up lawnmower, instead of on a beach, it's a golf club course. This film is not to be taken seriously, but if u do watch it, there will be an urge to turn off the movie. At least forward it to the part were they start to hunt the "lawnmower". (just like in jaws)Instead of a boat, it's a van. I'm very surprised the actors and actresses sign on to make a film like this. Again, this movie is not to be taken seriously!!!!!

Man!! I never thought I'd see such a fantastic film! Picture "Jaws" on a golf course. Yes, you read that right. There's a killer lawnmower out there and the big golf tournament is this weekend. Will the big wigs of the course shut down? No way. Locals are deputized to hunt down the lawnmower and they catch one. But when the hard drinking former golf pro noticed the tracks that are killing are wider then the mower is caught, they have to open its bag to see if there's any body parts in there or just grass clippings. Authorities think it's the groundskeeper killing folks, but when the killings continue, they have to set him free. You can see where the storyline is going. It is absolutely entertaining, fun, and violent! You'll have a blast!

As a hardcore Troma fan, I must say this is one of the lesser works. This movie is truly got the Troma completist. There are some inspired moments and how can a fan of bad movies not enjoy the premise of a killer lawnmower? I found this one quite dull in many scenes. I have no problems with low budget-no budget movies and bad acting is one thing I always look forward to from Troma movies. This had all of those which I enjoyed, but there was so much more they could do with this movie. One thing that can kill a great movie is too much dialog, and this movie has too many scenes of long dialog. It's certainly not the worst of the bad movies, but it is a disappointment for the Troma team which I admire greatly. Nice try, but let's see a couple sequels and see what we can do about the long dialog.

This movie has exactly what you expect in a B horror movie; bad acting, low budget, and comedic horror that doesn't take itself too seriously. The added bonus on this tale of terror on the golf course is that it mirrors the plot of Jaws almost to a tee (pun intended). What otherwise would be a really, really stupid story becomes merely ludicrous and funny when compared to the plot from which it originates. If you are wanting a B-movie full of fun, poor golf humor, even poorer acting, and a possessed lawn mower, then your prayers have been answered. This movie is quality B shlock horror and should be seen for the cheese factor alone. I wonder if Spielberg knows that one of his greatest works has been brought down to this level...

The Tall Grass Country Club is a gorgeous piece of heaven on Earth, but just like Amity, once a major tourist event starts happening, it doesn't matter how many dead bodies show up. Things will proceed according to schedule. Except that instead of a great white, Tall Grass is dealing with, well, a possessed lawnmower. I got past the Troma logo at the beginning - their cityscape and jingle have made me rage quit many a film - and am glad I did. Blades is an adorable film if your definition of adorable means that people are repeatedly torn to shreds by landscaping equipment gone wrong. This is the kind of movie that can get away with the tagline "Just when you thought it was safe to putt." And the closing credits set up a sequel that never came: Hedges. "Just when you thought it was safe to trim." Blades was written by the same man who wrote and directed Girl School Screamers, John P. Finnegan. That should give you a little fair warning of what you're in for.

Troma just worked out the story of Jaws and turned it into a bloodfest an a golf yard. However, a machine, normally cutting grass, is killing people now and at least as the machine features the smiling balloons and runs amok on it's own, everyone should have been checked out, this one is not to be taken seriously. But, who cares? A little glimpse on Jason (the worker with the mask, helping the balded man) makes this movie to be a good farce. It has atmosphere, never mind the story is nothing more than a joke. A good plagiat.
