Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
trashgang 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.
Chuck Straub Slaughter on the golf course. I guess it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would make a horror movie for golfers. The film centers on a series of grisly murders that takes place at the Tall Grass Country Club. There out on the course, maybe lurking just off in the woods, Blades lies in wait to rip you to shreds. "Blades" combines golfing as a setting for a horror/comedy that is a parody of the hit movie "Jaws". Replace the ocean with the greens and a killer shark with a killer lawn mower. This movie has similar characters and situations. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can get some appreciation of movie. This is more of a comedy, a parody, and it is based on "Jaws". The lines are corny as are the situations but the actors do this all with a straight face. It's not your normal horror movie although there is a lot of gore. If you like golf, have watched the movie "jaws", want a bit of horror and a little bit of a laugh, this movie may be for you. To some it will be funny and others it will just be stupid. I saw "Blades" on a DVD I rented called Troma Triple B-Header. It contains three movies, "Blood Hook", "Blades" and "Zombie Island Massacre". As part of this 3 movie DVD, yes, it was worth the price of a rental and my time.
callanvass funny and quite amusing Jaws spoof is well made and actually well acted how they managed to keep serious look n their face is beyond me it has decent effects a few gory moments and amusing scenes as well and a few amusing lines that will make you giggle like come on you metal mother and it is all enjoyable stuff folks and is never boring that has some stylish touches and decent directing and an actual good Troma film this is a fast paced entertaining flick that is not too be taken seriously it has an amusing plot and a unusual premise i really liked this one lots of cheesy deaths and some ridiculous dialog but it is all amusing and intentional overall this may actually be worth buying if you can get it cheap invite some friends though LOVE the tagline just when you thought it was safe to put ***1/2 out of 5
SykkBoy 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.
