I can understand if people think this is a stupid film, or if it's forgettable, idiotic, whatever; but you have to admit that is has one pretty crazy plot. People are being gruesomely decapitated on a golf course by a evil killer lawn mower. Come again? Personally, I didn't find it bad – it's a comedy/horror and it doesn't necessary fail at that.The movie isn't entirely hilarious, it isn't mind numbingly unfunny either, turn off your brain and you can have some cheesy, low budget 80's fun as it packs a few witty jokes, it's a great parody of Jaws and has fun deaths - saying that, a massive problem I had with the film was its constant resort to silliness which is what a lot of comedy/horror's do, still – you get over it because the movie is pretty fun.For such a miniscule budget the movie is quite impressive and I kind of enjoyed it – it's crazy, stupid, and one of those movies you come across on the last existing VHS section in your video rental shop and discover some really obscure stuff. Other than everything I have written in this tiny review, there isn't that much else to it but that doesn't mean it's bad. The entire point of this film is to turn off your brain and enjoy a slasher where the villain is a killer lawn mower on a golf course; nothing more, nothing less. Have some self admitting, cheesy 80's fun.

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

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...

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.
