Why so much hype?
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
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.
"The Greenskeeper" takes place in Summerisle Country Club.The assistant greenskeeper Alan hates his job,but the place is owned by his mother and greedy stepfather,so he must work.The evening party at clubhouse turns into bloodshed when the burnt up former greenskeeper a la Cropsy from "The Burning" begins to stalk and kill Alan's sexually active friends...Very tongue-in-cheek slasher comedy with few pretty gory death scenes.The dialogue is wacky as hell and there is a bit of always welcomed female nudity.Sleazy and trashy "The Milkman" fake footage has to be seen to be believed.Overall,"The Greenskeeper" is a vastly enjoyable slasher movie with enough blood and madness to satisfy slasher sub-genre fanatics.7 ball washers out of 10.
It's really hard to tell if this a spoof or a serious slasher movie. It obviously has an attempt at humor, but the spoofs are lame and poorly directed. Not a good spoof nor a good campy feature. Baseball bigot John Rocker lumbers through a few scenes and the scenes themselves look to be nearly all first-takes. The only entertainment you'll get here is the bad dialog, bad acting, and cheapo sets. I doubt that's what they were aiming for, however. I don't believe this to be THAT clever of a film. Some of the scenes take place at the swanky country club that looks like somebody's back yard in an Atlanta suburb, and the golf course maintenance building scenes look to be a three-walled $100 set with a few cliché gardening props lying around. There's lost of drug references and local flunkie Atlanta DJ Steve Rickman attempts to create a funny country club tennis-pro character. His big scene with the automatic tennis server is minimally funny and proves that just because you're funny on the radio doesn't mean it transfers to the visual medium.
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.
