I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Awesome Movie
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Picked this sucker up in the bargain bin at probably the last remaining video store in TX. When I saw score by "Kip Winger", how could I resist?! Overall, I would say it's a satisfying viewing experience if you are in the right frame of mind. It's slow at first with some padded out dialogue. But, once it gets rolling with some grisly deaths, it's quite creative and oddly funny. There's also a nice thick layer of cheese on it which helps some of the bad acting go down. And some great/weird quotes such as "Marco Polo bitches!", and "damn Stu, you got the crack wet". Major pacing problems won't make this required viewing for casual horror fans. But those that like weird, genre jumping b-movies with some creative deaths, will be happy enough.
In some strange way I see this as Caddyshack, Friday the 13th, Scary Movie, Half-Baked all mixed in a cauldron with the Kentucky Fried Movie stirring up the mix. You have over-the-top privileged teens, a scheming old man, the old mentor type character, a reclusive accident survivor, and the pothead lead character all intertwined in this ridiculous parody of old-school horror and humor. The bleeding is comical and over the top (very much like what you'd see in Monty Python) which makes the killings satirical. There are some good old-fashioned female screams that you were so used to seeing in the old school horror movies. You can see a lot of influences in this film. If you liked Scary Movie you'll probably find yourself laughing at this one too.
What saves this film is that the tone is just right, funny and laidback and tongue in cheek. No cure for cancer, just a groovy goodtime. The actors are all comfortable in front of the camera, especially the lead actor, who just strolls through his scenes with a been there done that attitude that is a refreshing change from the furrowed brow method that passes for acting these days. The screenplay is funny and lean, bad dialogue is not a detriment here.The SFX are of the pump blood from under the weapon variety, but some are very creative and funny. Their unrealistic quality adds to the film's charm.All the bad points of this film work for it in the long run. The inane conclusion to the inane plot fits because the filmmakers knew that they were making a spoof. The film did seem very static and some scenes meandered to pad the film out, but this is common in a low budget movie.The trailer is misleading however. John Rocker fans will be disappointed when they find that he is only in the movie for five minutes. The filmmakers acknowledge this in the screenplay; it is part of the joke so I can call no foul on it.Overall, a fine horror spoof of the slasher films I grew up with, with a refreshing choice for lead actor, interesting kills, and a laid back feel that makes it easy to like.
The world of low budget horror movies is infamous for turning out movies that are supposed to be funny and scary, yet in actuality just turn out to be disappointing. The Greenskeeper shatters this mold. The movie delivers a great deal of that good old slasher carnage, yet actually holds a plot and makes you laugh all the way through. The Greenskeeper's Murderous tactics all involve golf course tools. You may not have ever suspected a golf course to be a dangerous place, but this movie will surely make you laugh and think of promiscuous teens getting killed whenever you step onto a golf course from now on. It's par for the corpse!
