31 Days of Horror Movie 11

The Greenskeeper
2002
Echo Bridge 20 film Multipack DVD

Back in the early 2000s when most videos stores were clearing out all their VHS, I was hitting them and buying up any cheap horror VHS I found. Hollywood Video had a deal 10 VHS for 10 bucks. So I dug around and found 10. This one I grabbed because it was from Roger Corman's production company. Plus it looked like a comedy/slasher.

Allen is the assistant greenskeeper at a huge golf course. His father died years ago. And now his mom has remarried. Allen has a very annoying girlfriend and all he really wants to do is become an author. But there is someone killing members of the golf club.

Sure this is low budget. And very cheesy. But the comedy in the film makes up for the flaws. Plus there is some inventive kills. One guy gets killed by having his testicles placed in a ball washer. A couple gets killed using the tool they use to make the holes on the golf course.

Only two things make this film stand out. First former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker plays the killer. And Kip Winger,from Winger, does all the music.

The Greenskeeper gets a C+.
