Blades - Massacre no Country Club

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.

Blades is the kind of movie where you have a good time with it at the time, but probably won't ever watch it again. It's a fun reworking of Jaws with splashes of Caddyshack but with a killer lawnmower terrorizing the golf-loving members of a country club.

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!!!!!

And Maximum Overdrive. The budget was so low they couldn't even afford any hot chicks. Still it is the second best golf movie ever (after Caddyshack 2)

This one is a really fun flick that never takes itself serious even for a second. It's basically a spoof movie (like 'scary movie' or 'naked gun') that's a sendup of JAWS but with a killer sentient lawnmower.

I'm a big fan of troma and this one grew on me and is now one of my faves from them. I love that everyone seems to be in on the joke, and totally having a blast filming this.

If you like 80s cheese or so bad they're good type movies, this one may work for you if you know ahead of time it's basically a straight up comedy. Thank goodness for vinegar syndrome putting this out on blu ray finally, it looks great and they clearly put a lot of work into this zany flick!
